On my birthday, I celebrate the woman who made it all possible
Mummy my love,
Today I celebrate the happiest day of your life, my birth.
The weeks leading up to it were charged with emotions! I simply could not bear the thought or fathom going through the day that inextricaly brought us together, without you. You always rushed to be the first to wish it to me, to share our hopes and dreams for me and shower me with blessings-Last year's still ring through my ears. You were sorely missed today, but i made it a good and joyous one. You were never far from my thoughts but for you I stood strong and content because I know it is how you want it to be.
I know you got me through this day, it had to be you and the almighty responding to my cries for help and strength, and for that and so much more, I thank you once again. It was a first in a series of first instances without you, but I know you will continue to carry me through and will walk with me all the days ahead, urging me to pursue every single one of those dreams you had for me. And so I thank you in advance and I march ahead, confident that you are by my side always, and watching over me, proding, guiding, loving me always. I love you and miss you so much!
Your loving daughter
3 months ago today...
I went through the hardest, most painful experience of my life. One
that I always dreaded but didn't expect so soon. I lost my darling
mother, my mum, sister, confidante, nurturer and best friend. A brave
woman of strength, dignity, discipline, courage, faith, resilience,
joy, class, beauty...she just had a way about her and was a force to
be reckoned with. She passed very suddenly, leaving me shocked,
saddened, raw and missing her oh so terribly. I'm grateful for having
had such a blessing of a mum who left no doubt about how much she
loved me and how far she was willing to go & sacrifice for me. I will
love and eternally be grateful for her. I am all that I am thanks to
her and I thank God for her.
