OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- On Saturday the mother of Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old Oakland girl on life support, released a letter about her daughter.
The letter is titled, "An Open Letter From A Mother To The World Nailah Winkfield." It reads:
"I am a mother. She is my daughter. I am alive. Despite what they say, she is alive. I can touch her, she is warm. She responds to my touch. I can love her - I can feel her love. When she was in my belly I fell in love with her. Her heartbeat for the beginning of her life was my heartbeat until God, through a miracle, sparked her heart into existence. Given time I know he will spark her brain awake.
