Like any other good mother, Karen did whatever she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, get prepared for a new baby when she found out that another baby was on the way．They that the new baby was going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his in Mommy’s tummy．
Finally, Michael’s little sister was born．But she was in condition．The baby was sent to St．Mary’s Hospital．Days went by．The doctor told the parents “There is very hope．Be prepared for the worst．”
Michael kept asking his parents to let see his sister．“I want to sing to her,” he said． Two weeks passed． It looked as if the worst situation would come before the week was over．Michael kept requesting about singing to his sister, but kids were allowed in ICU ．However, Karen made up her mind that she would take Michael to see his sister who was sick．
She him in an oversized scrub* suit and went into ICU．The head nurse shouted, “Get that kid out of here now! No children are allowed．” Karen said “firmly ”“He is not leaving he sings to his sister!” Michael was sent his sister’s bed． He began to sing．In the pure- hearted of a three-year-old, Michael sang: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine；you make me happy when skies are gray．” ,the baby girl responded． The pulse rate* became calm．
Michael kept on , “You never know, dear, how much I love you．Please don’t take my sunshine away．”The breathing became smooth．
Michael kept on singing, “The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my ．” Michael’s little sister relaxed．
Michael kept on singing, “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine．Please don’t take my sunshine away．”
The next day—the very next day—the little girl was enough to go home!
The doctors just thought it a miracle．Karen it a miracle of love!
