I arrived into this family through marriage with the treasured Uncle of little 3 year old Sparkle(name out of thin air) She was so tiny and exceptionally beautiful just like Princess Dianna,her face and color.She smiled as sunshine does and gave her love to all children that came across her path.
She always made sure to get a large bag of candy at the store to share with others that did not have.Why she even gave away her Christmas tree one year along with all her presents to children that had none.
You see,little Sparkle had a trache in her throat to breath through and for so very many surgeries past and future to come to try to clear her airways from pappiloma which is warts that continue to reappear through her years again and again.So she looked different from other children and could not do everything they did,but she could show them love and compassion and boy did she ever!
I can remember being pregnant with my son and driving her out of town to many many surgeries and squalling my heart out when you see a terrified three year old have to go under the scalpel so many many times.
The world was praying for her in so many Churches and homes everywhere for her healing.She led so many people to give their life to God that it is uncountable.She did have some wish,s from her heart that came to be filled though as she taught this world to love from within to never ending boundrys.
This is the begining of Sparkle’s story.
Later on in time, Sparkle had a tiny beautiful little daughter whom she adored with all her heart. After about seven or eight years she had the tiniest little boy that I have ever saw.His little behind fit in the palm of my hand and I have small hands.
She had to stay on one floor and baby boy in the neo natal unit on a different floor.After about a month it was time to bring baby boy home as they lived with us.
But Sparklle was so sick that her Dr. whom had been extremley close to her for many many years as she was only 27 years old,and almost the entire rest of the family were planning her funeral.
But two of us the ones she lived with when we were all at home,said “no she will not die”she will get to come home and have time with her children.So it was time to take her little son home and spend time with her children taking care of them until she could come home with us.
Sparkle was still sick and getting sicker with each passing day. I was reading the Bible about Hezakiah were he had fifteen years added to his life to bear a son.
And I was praying and wailing to God”Why oh God is she not healed”? People and Churches all over this world have been praying for her since birth why won’t you heal her?I was wailing like a dove,pouring out my heart.Then I heard a tap at the window and I saw a white dove so I went out on our tiny back porch and that dove flew a foot off of my head in a circle three times.I was stunned and amazed and knew I had our answer.
Sparkle’s Mom called right then and said they found it and know what is killing her.”I said I know I know”.
You see God had just gave me the conformation that she would come home and have more time with her children.And she came home in a few days time.I and her Uncle whom was my Husband had told them all that she would not die and she would be given time to be with her children whom were her everything.
We were the only two that believed she would and God let her.She had fifteen more months to be with her babies and she gave them everything she could possibly give.
She then went on a feeding tube after she came home and struggled to make it.In time she could not eat and went down fast.So her and her Uncle went to check in at the Hospital and I stayed home with her babies to care for them while He stayed with her at the Hospital.
The day before I took her babies to see her, she was so very tired and ill but she said to me” Thank you for taking care of my babies and I told her it was a pleasure as they were good kids.
She then told me I will come home soon and I knew what home she would soon see and she did the next day.
This ripped my heart out of my chest to have to tell her babies that Mamma was gone to heaven not to mention the unmentionable grief that her Uncle who was holding her hand through all this.
I had my grown children come to the house to watch the babies and one drove me to the Hospital to collect her Uncle and say goodbye to little Sparkle.
When I got there three hours after she had passed or maybe two hours,she was still warm and her trache was not in her little neck anymore.
She had this rosy glow like a bride and when I told her it was ok now that I was with her special and much beloved Uncle.She then started cooling as she left us.
So this lesson is that there is a total healing after all,even if it does not come to pass as you would wish for.
And that God is the only way to walk on this earth and love one another and teach others about his selfless love to each and everone as Sparkle showed to all of us if that we would just turn, and give our lives to Him. Sparkle lives on to this day through her children and encased in my heart forever, for what she taught this world about God, tthat even I can only hope to even barely come close to doing. I pray that God has many more Sparkles to touch this world that we live in. To show that God is Love. https://www.wisdomforpennies.com
