Lady shares amazing life story as she celebrates her 21st birthday

In related news, Briefly News reported that life is precious and whether things go well or not, there is always something to be grateful for. A Twitter user identified as @cameforth has shared details of how her whole existence has been nothing short of a miracle.

In a post in which she celebrated clocking 21, she stated that when her mum gave birth to her over two decades ago, she was told that she was a still-born as the nurses thought she was dead upon arrival.

However, she was alive and surprised everyone, Briefly.co.za gathered. Many years later, she is a living miracle, proving that the mighty hand of God was upon her from the very beginning.
