‘Still on Siblings love, we have Ebi sharing about her passionate love for her younger sister, Mimi.
My name is Ebi and I’ll be sharing my experiences with my sister Mimi.
When she was born, I practically knew nothing about her being a special child. I I didn’t even know what it meant to be a special child. What really bothered me that time was oh “I will probably never be part of my sister’s life’ since I was just getting into boarding school.
Over the years, I’ve grown to understand whatever the doctors said was wrong with her. Well, they said and still say what they can see but I see better. I can say confidently that i couldn’t have asked for better.
Miracle indeed has been a miracle. She is amazing in all forms of the word itself.
There are times I go out with her and people just look at her and I know they want to say some things but trust me they wouldn’t dare well unless I don’t know them so I can choose to ignore them because I know that they may just never understand because they choose not to and its fine.
In church one day, my friend saw us together wearing the same cloth and how we were all over each other and she was like she doesn’t know how I manage to love my sister so much because she knows someone else that has a sister with D.S and acts like she doesn’t know her when they are outside. And I told her that well that just has to be a loss on her part because she doesn’t see the bigger picture. I see the bigger picture. I see that Miracle is far above what the world says and sees . She is far more intelligent than a lot of the seemingly normal children.
She is well behaved, nice, courteous and every thing a proper child is.
I have grown to love her with my life and I’m ready to do just anything for her. I have never thought of her as different from us and I never will. Miracle is a part of my life that I’m grateful for every day.
When my brother was much younger he said to me that I love Miracle more than him and I told him that I love them both equally but she may need a little more care and attention and I’m glad he understands that even till today.
Even when I talk to my friends now they first person they ask of is Miracle . Sometimes immediately she comes they would rather even talk to her than talk to me and I have to beg for my phone.
Miracle and all other engraced children are the best gifts they world has but it’s just sad they fail to see that beauty and perfection in them.
If I ever have to choose between having her as a sister and having a seemingly normal sister…. I’LL CHOOSE HER A MILLION AND ONE TIMES OVER WITHOUT EVEN GIVING IT A THOUGHT.
Miracle is my special baby and I’ll do just
I will encourage other siblings to love their engraced siblings because you may not see them as amazing now but trust me they are a best part of life you won’t want to miss.
Thank you and God bless you.”
