Today marks the anniversary of a miracle granted me 34 years ago. I became a Mother for the 2nd time to a son weighing over 8 pounds named Eric Wade Sample. He had the most beautiful dark brown eyes such that he was forever called “Kisses” by yours truly. Yes, it was because of the chocolate Hershey’s Kisses. For most of his life Eric’s eyes were the richest, darkest brown that one could imagine to the point that the pupils were not clearly visible.
He had a ready laugh and forgave easily. That is not to say that he did not have a temper but it was rarely displayed towards family. He was also a flirt and interested in just about every female that had a pulse. However, to my knowledge he only proposed to one and she is still a dear FB friend to me. He also had a quick wit and some really clear thoughts about life and living. Here are two of my favorites: 1) Secrets kill people. They are like a cancer that eats you up from the inside. 2) People only know what they know and they make up the rest.
My family plus some of my friends know that I made a career out of conceiving both of my sons and that I was also told by my doctor that I would probably not be able to have children. Jason was born 10/15/74 (1st miracle) and Eric 09/11/78 which proves that God is the “Great Physician” and those in the medical industry are “His” sometimes tools in the process. That is my God honored opinion. There is power in prayer and God answered mine.
