When a single mother with terminal cancer asked a nurse sheād met in the oncology ward to raise her son, neither could have imagined the miracles God had in store.
God Gave Me You tells the true story of how these two incredible mothers met, the immediate bond they formed, and the ups and downs of joining families as oneās earthly life ebbed away. The miracle of these two families coming together demonstrates that family isnāt always bloodāsometimes itās made up of the people God gives you if you have a willing heart.
Oncology nurse Tricia Seaman and her family had their hearts set on adopting a son. They were months into the grueling process when Tricia met a terminally ill cancer patient on her regular rounds. Curiously, the two shared the same name. Trish Somers was that patientāa single mom whose world revolved around her eight-year-old son, Wesley. As the young mother poured out her fears and emotions during her post-operative care, Tricia sensed theirs would be like no other nurse-patient relationship she had experienced in her career.
When the cancer spread, it became clear Trish had only a short time left to live. Thatās when the inconceivable happened: Trish asked her nurseāa woman who had been a complete stranger just days beforeāto raise her beloved son when she passed away.
God Gave Me You will inspire you with a story of courage, trust, and faith that Godās plans are bigger and more amazing then we could hope for on our own. Itās a story youāll turn to again and again when youāre looking for hope and a reason to believe in miracles.
