"Thank you, God, for giving me another chance to live, for making me see my kids again.

"Though my new baby car got destroyed completely, but God saved me.

"I know that He will stop all these storms in my life that didn’t take my life away now and give me back my real laughter soon.

"I know He will sure surprise me and bless me more soon. I will forever be grateful to God for saving me"
