Still can't get over how everyone who went to attend the funeral sent back things for my little boy.
He is so blessed.
What lovely people.Bless them father.
Give them peace and rest and strength to get through this tough time
I miss my grandmother.
This grieving process is taking longer than I thought.
I guess mostly because this deep lump in my throat about where her soul has gone won't go away
I can only hope that she had an encounter with God before closing her eyes for the last time and move on and focus on the rest of the family who need God.
I miss both my grandmothers today.
How they had blessed my lives.
How simple their lives were
My nena was brought into this world under bad circumstances.
She was born out of wedlock. She was shoved away by her mother.
She has 23 half brothers and sisters here and there. Yikes
And my aji got married when she was 12years old.
She had dad when she was 16
They both had no education at all and bought were married to prominent men in their society.
Both stood quietly behind their husbands. Gentle spirited. Industrious. Forever fending for or taking of their families or somebody else's
Both never sat idle. Both never could keep still both from totally different backgrounds yet so much in common
Its got to be something about that generation.
A generation that is no more.
A generation of women that were quiet yet powerful.
That knew that they were called to submit to their husbands and raise their kids right
That never stopped caring, that was full of love and kept giving and giving and giving
Like the proverbs 31 woman I find this generation of woman virtuous.
Content, powerful in a humble way
I will miss you both dearly. I pray that I can be like you.
The legacy that you both have left me.
That I can carry on in your footprints
To be the wife that Jitoko needs me to be
To be the mother that Jaydon needs me to be
To be the daughter that mum and dad need me to be
To be virtuous, industrious, full of wisdom and blessed
