Sometime ago, I met a beautiful woman who I fell in love with. She won my heart because of the type of person that she is and her selfless nature. She's a playful loving soul who's incredibly nurturing.

At the time when we met, I was a full-time student and I worked part-time. She at the time worked in a women's shelter in the nonprofit space.

Her organization downsized and ended up letting her go right after when she found out that she had cancer. She had no family to turn to for support.

Initially after hearing the news, I was grief stricken. I wanted to help her but I felt so helpless. Instinctively my mind starting racing thinking of ways to help her. The monies that I earned from my part-time job and the grant that I received from school allowed me to help her pay for her monthly medical coverage plan that was crazily expensive. I could not think about myself at the time because she was in a very desperate situation. I put my needs second.

I ended up leaving school and took up a full-time position to help her. This lasted for about several months. The last thing that I wanted was for her to succumb to cancer. I wanted to help her with her fight and I did.

Do you want to know why I believe in miracles? It's because the cancer ended up in remission, and she is now a survivor. Her faith to overcome that monster of an obstacle helped her to pull through. That experience changed me forever and taught me what humility is all about.
