The four no noes for every parent.



The Four No Noes.
Dear parents teachers and friends.

It has been quite shocking for me to realize what I was destined to do now. I believe it is the first time in my life I can see my purpose in the coming years, 
.   I am a 52 years old  English teacher living in Israel.  I am also a mother to three children. I have a beautiful two years old grandchild whom I adore and I can't stop thanking God  for everything, especially for keeping me well and healthy in spite of all the hard times I have gone through.  My first born son is now 32 years old. I keep repeating this precious number. Thirty two. He was born with a fatal illness which kills children until   ?they are  two. And he is thirty two. Isn't it awesome I believe it is a miracle'. Every day is like winning a . lottery Since this child was born I feel life three times as intense as I had felt life before. 
Not because I had not been happy. On the contrary I My marriage life were ideal before he was born. Me and my husband were twin souls. We admired each other and shared many dreams for the future. But When, Paz was born both of us were summoned upon a mission It is . . more accurate  to say' we had the choice to fight for this baby's life, 
Never ever underestimate your power to shape the destiny of your child. 
Never say - it is God's will and give up. 
Never stop believing you can change what has been sentenced for him. 
More important of all - never ever stop loving him,.
  These four no noes are necessary preconditions to your success.
And another one: Never put a deadline after which you will give up. For you have been chosen because you can, and you will always be protected and helped in spite of everything by God if you keep in mind that every moment is another brick in the wall of success unless you give up.  I witnessed my husband setting limits to our journey and giving up after his 13th birthday. My heart is still broken.whenever I think about it. I cannot erase the pictures I have seen so many years of him having a running competition against me along the hospital's walls to see who will reach our son first. He always won. He was a good runner. But only until his Bar Mitzva. He set himself a time limit' and then stopped believing,  There was nothing  in the world I could do to change it. I hurt so much when I write these lines but it is so important for all parents to know that people are very special. If they are given a present in the shape of any problem they can make the impossible.. It is not in vein that we were created in God's image. God hears our prayers and is ready to roll the dice again and again, Only if we keep these No Noes,
Love
