There are those who motivate and then those that inspire. She does them both. She has accomplish so much, brought me so much happiness — and she’s only eight months old. The saying “Eyes are the windows to the soul” didn’t mean anything to me until now. I could spend ages looking in her eyes. She’s so brilliant for her age. It’s amazing how much strength she gives me just by looking in those big brown eyes. And vice versa. Her eyes sparkle when she looks at mine. And she gets SO happy. Thats the best feeling. We have a connection unlike any other.

A few nights ago, while staying over my house, she developed a fever while she was napping. [a reaction to her immunity shot] Something told me to wake her up and thank God I did. I’m still not sure how high it was but it must have been over 106 Fahrenheit. Before I could finish, she started to have a seizure. And with in minutes, she went limp and stopped breathing. Thank God my grandmother was there. She performed CPR and brought her back. We were never so scared in our lives than we were that day. The ambulance didn’t get there in time but my grandmother was a lifesaver. My grandmother has helped many [MANY] people with seizures throughout her life and I honestly believe it was all practice for this very day. If I didn’t wake her up when I did and if my grandmother wasn’t at the house, she wouldn’t be here now. God, how amazing life works out sometimes.

I’m so thankful. That little angel has taught me so much. I’m healthier, I’m stronger, I’m happier because of her. We may have saved her life but she will forever be my little lifesaver. She’s my everything. She’s me niece.

It’s been a few days and she’s doing so well. She’s 100% better and so happy. She’s learning to crawl and she’s just so damn cute. We’re having a sleep over at the moment. I love to watch her sleep. :)
