I'm sure that there are BIG miracles such as Sasha's, that I never hear about, but when I hear about a big one, I feel the love of God for this world's people, and that stays with me always. Little miracles happen throughout life, and some we miss. I feel fortunate to have heard of Sasha's! God is good. He loves us dearly.

To be honest, I'm not a religious person. Nevertheless, I respect all the religions. 🥰

My reason is simple for not addressing god cos I don't want to use any name to define the greatness n powerful force behind it/them. Some like to call it god/buddha/spirit/angel/universe/divine! It doesn't matter who or what we call it/them, after all it is just an address. 😇

My uncle is a Buddhist. He told me Buddhism is not a religion but a way of life. He told me stories of praying n chanting for a very ill kid for 48 hours with some other members. A miracle happened too. He said it was the law of attraction that the doctor came to help heal this kid. We cannot dismiss the power of manifestation. Everything we want will ultimately come true with focus, effort n praying.💪🙏😊

Alexander, I can't believe I am just reading. Thank you for sharing...my brother was born with a complex congenital heart defect. It's something that I've only recently discovered as effected me greatly. It's funny how people years apart experience something so similar:

"Then my younger brother Drew was born. He entered this world not with a bang but with chilling silence and with a complexion an unnerving shade of blue. He wasn’t in this world for minutes before he was ripped from my mother. He and my father were medevaced to the nearest children’s hospital. I can’t bear to think of my mother's pain as she sat alone in the hospital after being told that her baby was receiving his “last rights” as they raced him to the helicopter pad."

Wow, to live through that, nothing is harder. A powerful connection that we share.

Thank you for sharing this, Alexander. I'm so glad Sasha is okay now. My daughter was also born with a ventricular septal defect (holes in the heart), most of which closed soon after birth. She spent 10 days in the NICU, the most difficult days of our lives. I can appreciate your relief in getting Sasha Home Again in good health. Christmas blessings to you and your family today!

Medical science is filled with unexplainables, miracles that doctors never understand. God, indeed, had a hand in Sasha's recovery.
