No one understands better that “LIFE IS A GIFT” then those of us who have had it taken away, devastated when the Doctor tells you its Cancer! 
Then after a pain filled operation or kemo therapy the Cancer is gone and several months later you realize that all the prayers said to Jesus and Mary on your behalf by your friends and family where heard and the Father breathed the Holy Spirit giving you life again.

At first I was angry, why me? What did I ever do to derisive this punishment? But, then it was clear – Life is a Gift that only God controls. He can in a moment take life away from you, as He did with me… He then heard the pleas and intentions of His Son and Our Lady and the people who prayed for me and mercifully gave me my LIFE back.

It made me think; the unborn have the same instinct for several and want to live just like me or any person, except they are defenseless, dependent on adults……… ? 

Once you look death square in the face as I did, you come to cherish life and can't comprehend how anyone could take life when every day doctors are working on cures for Cancer and all disease to save life! 
"Yet abortion clinics take life every day - it makes no sense!"

I thank God for allowing me to continue my GIFT of LIFE.
