••Miracles by Faith - Song: Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

Mother praying on different occasions.

Edie lived poor raised by her mother since, her father ran away! Her mother would not allow Edie to receive nothing for free. Not even a Gift! Once, Edie's mother made her return a five cent gift from her father. She never had TV as a child and their bathroom was outside in a small building. She married at age of 14 and her husbands family condemned their marriage because she was not a catholic by religion. Her husband was raised on a large farm and his uncle and relatives were nun's or priest. Edie studied faithfully by passing the catholic confirmation. Her children were baptized as a catholic and attended Sunday, school. Edie cried finding out, I'm pregnant again! The catholic religion did not believe in birth control pills. She prayed on different occasions over her lifetime. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Bedtime!

Born July 1, 1965 a boy entered the world. Edie's regular doctor believed in natural child birth and the doctor forced her previous children by pulling their heads. Her doctor that delivered her previous children happen to get sick, when time to deliver her baby. The doctor filling in for her regular doctor noticed a serious problem, "The child head froze hanging halfway outside his mother." The doctor suddenly forced the baby's head back inside his mother. He pushed his hands inside her feeling around the child's head. He noticed, "The tangled umbilical cord around the child's throat." The doctor reached carefully inside her cutting the umbilical cord from around his throat. He could have died! His mother witnessed her youngest son born entering the world as a gift of love. She said, I will name him after Saint Anthony an Angel that, brings luck!

Edie never asked God for another miracle but her life showed more than luck! She prayed for God to prevent death from visiting her nine children until, the youngest child Janice reach eight teen years of age. Her single wish allowed nine children to grow up! Edie's children faced several situations called miracles. Daughter - Gunshot to the head, Daughter - Face crushed by car flipping over, Son - Head surgery never attempted, Daughter - Saved from drowning, Son - Lives over 17 years with Aids, Son - Wood between his spin, Daughter - Visions possible saved her life, Son - Hit by a speeding car and much, more stuff. Read Tommy's Story:_______ Edie learned to praise God living a Christian life and she never called her children sinners.

Mothers bond with their children can be witnessed at times. Edie really never cried in front her children unless, tragedy's close at hand. Edie cried on several occasions from visions! She vision Debbie drowning sitting at home and Theresa witnessed her mother Edie crying saying, "Something could be wrong with Debbie!" Debbie was drowning at the beach when a suffer saved her life. The local news paper wrote a hero story about, Debbie's angel saving her from drowning. Her daughter's encountered dangerous situations on blind dates when Edie felt, them crying for help! Their mother realized the power of faith from prayer. Where's my children?

One day, Edie told her daughter Theresa, Terri's husband, and other people, that something bad could happen to her daughter Terri. Theresa visited Terri's home, but she could not see the danger as their mother. Terri's husband promised Edie to stay home with her but he left, then Terri was shot in the head. Their mother's faith lead her to call Terri's home with no Tele-phone answer so she rushed 30 miles saving her life helpless on the bed. Their mother never believed, Terri shot herself! Terri really never remembered what, happen? Their mother paid for hypnosis which Terri went crazing saying, Stop waving the gun! The hypnosis session was recorded and Terri never remembered saying, Stop waving the gun! Her husband admitted them fighting and him getting the pistol to take out the bullets.

Terri lived happily with blindness. She writes Angel poems and one of them called a Glowing Upon My Face will soon be published on CDs disc with thirty-two other people poems. Terri saw herself as a materialistic person before blindness! Edie's daughter Terri does crafts, crochet, typing, and read brail. Terri raised and feed her son Keith at home from a baby! Keith's face covered by baby food as his blind mother feeds him but Terri knows, she could have died alone. Miracles Happen!

Edie realized, we must face our death, alone as a child being born into the world. Put yourself in the middle of the ocean without a life jacket! No-one, can take our place in life because, we are a special person. Edie gave her life to raise nine children with a violent husband. Faith will never be found in the good times! Death, Tragedy, Sickness, and Terror is here for a reason and One day, we will face the truth about, God. Once said, You are in school and if, when, you graduate, your circle of life will be completed.
