Days became weeks and weeks months and without us realizing we were celebrating the first birthday of Miracle just looking at him was enough for me because it was not easy giving birth to him...I found myself thing of DEUTERONOMY 10: 21 that says.... He is the one you praise... he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes. Surely God performed a great wonder for us and without fail l knew that it was only Grace. l did not stop to worship God at all, l joined Methodist Church in Zimbabwe and me and my family we managed to fit in quite perfectly. Being part of the family of God made me strong in a strange fulfilling way and a gave myself time to know God more..

This changed me as a person as well and l grew to be a loving prayerful wife who was strong and business orientated. Faithful was also growing up very well and she was so attached to me and that gave me joy..Seeing all my kids together and growing up in a loving family was all l could ever ask for surely God was a miracle worker...My dad was more overjoyed with the little kids that he moved in the Ranch house to spent more time with them...they were the luckiest because he certainly was a blessed Grandfather. We never heard any word from Tanya but l knew she was going to come...This did not scare me at all because l knew this was what she chose to give up on her girl who was now mine.

One day l was just seated on the pool side when one of my staff handed me the phone ..Cayden was the one handling my major assignments because l wanted to monitor the kids more....is this Mrs Richards.... Yes... l said ...we are sorry to inform you that your husband got into a fatal accident and he is here in Amondel hospital....The whole world came crashing just that moment...I have prepared for my husband in the morning and all was well how then did this happen...Lots of questions flooded my mind as l listened to what the other person was trying to say...Is he ok ..l faintly asked the caller. come down to the hospital madam....... she said...l never thought l will live to hear such kind of news at all..... l ran to the nursery like l was possessed ...the kids were sleeping and l hugged my kids crying...what if he was going to die ?...tears could not stop at all and l was hurting......

One of the house staff came to where l was with the kids and she knew that something was seriously wrong...l have never shown my staff any weakness but at this moment l could not think. Cayden was not only my husband or the father of my kids, he was everything in this life l had besides my dad...she saw that l was a mess and she quickly came to me ..bring my phone honey.. l said weakly..she ran to the pool side and brought it back that moment and l dialed Sandy's number...She answered but l could not say anything buy cry...What is it Leslie..Sandy asked panicking....Cayden sis ...l said failing to even say anything about the accident....Give me some hours Hun l am coming now...she said hanging up. ....call the driver now... l said to my house maid who was now standing not knowing what to do ...she did not wait ...take care of the kids l said this picking my bag and already walking ..my world my lord ...he is my king please preserve him ....l was praying silently walking to the car park where the driver was already waiting for me.... please John just take me to this address l told him handing him my tab which l had typed the address of the hospital....

There was less traffic at that time...it took us thirty minutes to arrive at the private hospital... ..I rushed to my husband's side and l saw the worst nightmare ..Cayden was lying there lifelessly and l could see that he got so much injured...l looked at the Doctor ...what does he need... he need to live he can't die l need him...l said this to him crying ...deep inside me something stuck on me ....a voice....be still and know l am your God ...just for a while bear with this.... I closed my eyes and said .... not for a while Jesus take your time my lord l am only your daughter do what you want with me ...Be strong Madam... this man has been greatly injured but he is stabilizing now...he has some broken bones but l am sure he will be fine...the docter said ..

I sat on his side watching him and praying and l did not even heard it when his mother opened the door together with their Tanya...Why the hell did you not call me woman....she shouted....l stood up quickly..l am sorry mummy but l asked Sandy to inform everyone...it was my mistake please forgive me....she came close and slapped me very hard that l almost lost my balance...Get out now....this one is my son not your Miracle...Tanya was already on Cayden's side...Mum l cant go ..l really need to be with my husband please...l begged her not knowing what to do...yes l failed because l forgot to inform her...tears started falling again and l did not know what to do at all...

His mother was someone l never wanted to cross and unintentionally l did...She pushed me out of the room and l could not resist any any longer...l walked outside the hospital not knowing what to do...l saw Sandy running to me with Sam her husband....and l then gave up...l threw myself in her arms and right there l broke down crying
