As in Wama, her work schedule in Abeokuta involves Teaching Practice Supervision an brings her all around the city and to other places outside the city. In one of her supervision rounds, she finds herself in an affluent grammar school within city limits. A most unbelievable, unexpected miracle takes place whit almost drives Lily crazy with joy.

She finds her long lost son, her Jimmy at the school. It was terrible. I saw her as an enemy and even stopped eating her food thinking she would poison me. The hostility spread to children, I called them hers. I wanted to show every one that I was still the same man; the police gave up on me. According to Balancille, local leaders advised her to divorce him. I could also not leave them alone with such a father. I resorted to revenge. She says that the ADP decided to do a personal development workshop in Mwogo due to the reports of gender based conflicts in many households.

According to Zeburiya, some of these conflicts originate from the old traditional beliefs that the man has to be tough and feared by the other members of the family. Another reason is the effect of the genocide, where the grief among some husbands due to losing all or some of their family members makes them different and hostile. The workshops, according to Zeburiya, use a crosscutting approach in peace building that teaches people to deal with grief, reconciliation and forgiveness.

I refused but later called him to confirm I would attend, hoping that World Vision would give me money for attending. After the first session, Abraham was encouraged to come with his wife the following day.

Testimonies made me feel the desire to become a better person. I realised it was pride.

I wanted to be feared. According to his elder daughter Alice, 7, Abraham is a changed man. We are no longer scared of him. He is our friend now. Shortly after the training, Abraham sincerely asked for forgiveness from his wife. They even decided to strengthen their marriage by doing a civil marriage. But then she fell from a tree. And in a cause-and-effect that defies explanation, Annabel was healed. That God would use us to share his story is so overwhelming! Concerned that her daughter was continuing to decline and fearful that Annabel could die, Christy Beam refused to accept the diagnoses she received at medical facilities near their Texas home.

Finally, the Beams were referred to nationally renowned pediatric gastroenterologist Dr. When Christy was unable to get an appointment despite months of phone calls and letters, she took a chance—and she flew with Annabel to Boston, to make her case to the doctor personally. Her persistence paid off, and Dr.

Nurko was able to enroll Annabel in a study which showed promise; but because she was prescribed experimental drugs with potentially serious side effects, Dr. Nurko would need to see her every six weeks. Despite the financial strain on the Beam family, the mother and daughter became frequent air travelers, allowing Dr. Nurko to keep careful watch over his young patient.

Not Prepared to Donate?

When Annabel was eight, returned home after yet another hospitalization, she went outside to play. Without warning, the limb on which she was perched cracked and fell. Annabel had no time to catch herself; she plunged thirty feet into the hollowed core of the cottonwood, landing head-down, deep inside the hollow tree, tightly wedged in the base of the gnarled trunk.

She was unconscious, suspended and trapped for five and a half hours before rescue crews finally succeeded in strapping a harness around her body and raising her to safety. She emerged from the tree trunk wet, bruised, and muddy but otherwise quite well. Inexplicably, when Annabel awoke at the hospital, she felt no more pain.

Her distended abdomen had returned to its normal size, and she was able to go to the bathroom. For the first time, after months of uncomfortable tube feedings, she could eat regular food. Her doctors began to wean her off of her medications and eventually, she was released from her pediatric gastroenterologist. In the days following her unexpected recovery, Annabel shared with her parents what had happened during her hours wedged deep within the cottonwood tree.
