(Look at our joy & laughter in this pic ??????) It hasn’t been easy but looks at me…through it all & still going strong no matter the weather. #InMySkinIWin,” she added.
She further encouraged people with children to love and understand that their children are God-given and not take for granted who they have been given because parents don’t know what lessons, love, joy, and blessings that soul will bring into their lives. “Many kids get rejected/are ostracised at birth because of a mere condition, not knowing how much of a blessing that, that child could be. Moral of the story is a child, a human being with a soul… no matter how they come!” she wrote.
