learning to love myself and overcoming Cerebral Palsy not allowing it to overcome me |
|
Prologue God gave us all a reason and a purpose we just have to figure out what our own reason and purpose is in this lifetime. I want to thank those of you who believed in me and my dream. You helped me realize that I had to stop being afraid to show people who I am. I love my family,All of you. I know that some of you think I am strange. I am just the kind of person who loves to make other people smile if that makes me strange or weird I will deal with it because I love who I am. I always have and I don't plan on changing for people.I recently learned from a friend that no one can make you feel less amazing ...with that said.it is the story of how I overcame my struggles in life that I want to share with whoever wants to read this story. I thank you for reading and may God bless you. My hope is that telling my story helps one person in this world see that life is a gift from God! Then my reason and purpose on this earth will be fulfilled. Much love to you all.. Marcia Belle Bucella ************************************************************** Mommy's body can't hold onto me anymore. She is in labor. How can her body know I am not ready yet? It's time. Forty weeks is over but, I am still very tiny and I haven't turned around yet. It is Okay, mommy, it isn't your fault. God says that it is time. Lets do what he tells us. I am born breech, butt first, not feet first, like most breech babies. In 1964 babies born as small as I am, usually don't live. I only weigh three pounds eleven ounces, even though I am a full term baby I am still considered premature because of my weight. I am so tiny that I am put in an incubator. My left arm doesn't have any blood flowing in it, but the doctors are able to return the blood flow to my arm. They tell mommy they, honestly, don't have any way of knowing how long my arm was without blood. My arm possibly may be damaged. Sadly, they also tell mommy and daddy to expect the worst. I might not survive. Time can only tell. It was a difficult delivery and I am very weak. They say that if I live I might not be able to walk, talk or have any intelligence at all. I am determined from my very first breath. I beat the odds. Miracles do happen! Thank you Mommy,Daddy and God for giving me life!
