An answered prayer



Today, we celebrate Heaven’s sixth month. We welcomed our firstborn on 26 July. A year ago in January, we learnt that Aires was finally pregnant. We were ecstatic and anxious then. Today, we look back at an unforgettable year --- for all the up’s and down’s, for the long wait, for all the tears, and for all the smiles.

Heaven has brought us not only joy but also a realization, a reminder that God indeed answers your most fervent prayer --- at His own terms, by His will. Many times, Aires and I found ourselves asking God: “Why?” We did not know then His reasons but when we learnt to lift up everything to Him, He answered our prayer when we least expected it.

Today, we are simply thankful for our own bundle of joy and God’s work of miracle. We are halfway till Heaven hits his first year. Each day brings us closer to finally singing a Happy Birthday song. Till we get that chance, we keep saying our Thank You’s to God for our answered prayer.
