[quote=Anonymous]There were two.

1- The day that my 1st daughter died in my arms after 2 months of life in the NICU. My faith, my appreciation, my spirit of gratefulness taught me that everything I knew and believed about God was real, and increased faith for others. How I handled her passing - with thanksgiving in mourning, and celebrating her life instead of only mourning my vision - taught me that I set my own course in life. So many around looked to my pain as the mother, and when they saw I embraced pain, and thanksgiving as part of the process, I later heard how it had some look at their lives introspectively. I never once considered that how I handled a personal matter would demonstrate so much to so many.

2 - The day that my 2nd daughter was placed in my arms a year later in the same hospital. It allowed me to see how much of a testimony my firstborn daughter's life was - and that as painful as the process was, there was a purpose greater than me and her, that demonstrated faith to those who would not have seen it in true action otherwise. They saw the story come full circle. And I learned a huge lesson in trusting the process. Things become more and more clear everyday.

Both of those events shaped, and still shapes me endlessly in both the macro and micro sense. [/quote]
