Where did you find the strength to survive?
My ability to survive was my grandmother and my mother's teaching. I had been taught all my life to believe to believe in God, and that you live and breathe and have your strength in Him. That your strength doesn't come from you, it comes through you from God.
I would come home from school and say "I hate these people! What are
they doing to me?" I'd be whining, crying, sometimes bloody, sometimes drenched
with broken eggs. My grandmother would say, "OK. What good happened today? What
were the blessings? Is this a good day given to you by God? You're moving, and
you're walking. You're OK. And this is your task for now. You have to complete
this task."
