My mom is a strong believer in God, and claims that she and I surviving my birth is proof enough. Her body rejected me at 28 weeks because our blood has different rh factors. She went into eclamptic seizures and I had to be surgically removed. We both almost died. I was an incredibly sickly child. At one point, my mom was as looking into signing me up for Make a Wish, because so many people, my mom included, thought I was just going to die. I was that unhealthy. My left lung has permanent scar tissue from having pneumonia so much when I was younger. You can still see it clearly on x-rays. My lungs weren't fully developed until I was 19. Doctors were tracking their development to make sure I wouldn't need any extra care as an adult.

Now I'm an adult who is relatively healthy considering all of the debilitating ailments I have, most likely a direct result of being born early. My mom says it's a miracle and a blessing from God that I survived and am as successful as I am. I don't think it's any of that shit. I think it's modern medicine and my desire to succeed to spite people who've wronged me. God ain't got shit on antibiotics and spite.

If god did miracles and all that jazz to make you survive, couldn't he just... Not make you premature?

Oh wait. I remember. God works in mysterious ways
