CONVERSATION WITH MY MOTHER

(The story of Vivo)

It was about two decades ago when Vivo had these heart-to-heart conversation with his mother, Helen.

Helen: Son, I want to tell you something that I think you should know.

Vivo: Okay mom, you can tell me. What is it all about?

Hellen: I want you to know that between you and your brother, I was pregnant and the baby was going to be a girl. But I had a miscarriage due to some accident. (Vivo and his brother are fifteen years apart, in terms of birth dates)

Vivo: What? Really mom. That's so sad.

Hellen: Yes son, it was so traumatic. _ I also want to tell you that when you were a lad, you had a serious problem with diarrhea. It was so bad that we all thought you would not make it. But look at you now, you are still here, alive and strong. God is good.

Vivo asked a few follow-up questions and went silent after that conversation; thinking about all that his mother had told him.

Going back to the conversation he had with his mom, about twenty years ago, Vivo realize that satan had desired his life. But the Lord protected him, for He knew him before he was born. He knew that Vivo was born for times such as this and for a devine purpose. Vivo had only one sibling in his life, his brother, who also died about three years back. Today Vivo has no mother, no father and no sibling but he has people that cares for him. That miscarried child, satan thought that it was Vivo, hence he killed her; realising that he missed his target, he thought that that severe diarrhea, would finish Vivo off while he was still young. But God......
