Thank You God, for letting me: Feel You and love You from deep inside of me, Trust completely in Your plan. Teach my children what I have learned. Function without pain. Eat when I am hungry. Drink when I am thirsty. Have company when I am lonely. Have the things I want. Know pleasure. Withstand disappointment. Not have unusual hardship. Make the right choices. May this always be so, not only for me, but for my family and for all people. Please, when we make mistakes, continue to understand and turn these errors into good. May the day come soon, when all of us on Earth can be together with You and all our loved ones from heaven.
