Inspiration for my grandmother When I was born 15 years ago, my parents gave me the name Faith Danielle Gilliard. My middle name isn’t really important, but my first name never fails to serve as a reminder of what God has done for me, my family and especially Mom-Mom. A few months before I was born, my grandmother, Mom-Mom, was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have grown up with a wonderful Christian background, so as soon as word got around, family and friends began praying. We had to have faith that she would be healed. It was a difficult time for everyone. She probably knew she would be so weak from
all the chemotherapy by the time I was born, and that she wouldn’t even be able
to hold me. So, as one more statement of hope, my parents named
me “Faith.” This inspired Mom-Mom was released from chemo seven months later. And guess what? She’s still with us today, happy and healthy as can be. Faith Gilliard |
