(Part 2/2) "After that day, my life changed. I stayed with her all the time. Cleaning her, feeding her and providing her what she needed to survive. I was still very worried that she was going to die and I could not sleep at night. I sometimes forgot to eat lunch. Because I could not leave her, I lost contact with all my friends and relatives. Every time she cried at night, I would wake up and put her in my lap and sing to her. And I could never go back to sleep. Even though she was getting better she was very thin. My eyes fill with tears remembering those days. When she finally turned 1 year of age, I slowly started to breathe freely. I found peace. I knew that she would live.

She is turning 5 soon and I have no clue where her father is. I think her father never came into any faith. Now my granddaughter calls me “Mummy”. For her, I am her mother. Even though I had a very difficult time raising her to be this healthy, I am very happy today. And now that she goes to school, she will be able to see the world. I have some time for myself and the rest of the family. My friends who have seen me devote my time to my granddaughter thank me for bringing her back to life. they say, 'Thank you, she was dying and now look at her. God will look after you.' "
