I have always been religious.

As a child, instead of growing up on fairy tales, Mum taught me the stories from the Bible.

My favourite stories were about Abraham, Jacob, Queen Esther and King David.

The story about Daniel and his faithfulness to God event in the midst of great adversity strengthened me.

Chanukah and Passover have always been my favourites.

Celebrating the miracle of the holy oil at Chanukah.

Passover and how God saved his people.

I might not know many fairy tales but I was taught the greatest stories of all that shaped my faith and made me stronger.

When I had my accident, I would read the story of Queen Esther over and over.

I learnt the stories of the great miracle workers, the great sages (saints) and every story of hope that came from the Bible and Tradition helped shape the person whom I became.
