2 years gone just like that! I remember that day like it was yesterday.I thank God everyday for how glorious it was.
That morning we prayed together, read the Word, sang hymns of praise and afterwards you had a huge breakfast of cereal, bread, eggs and tea! I then sat down with you for hours talking about everything from your childhood to your father, my granddad, to just about everything you could remember going down memory lane.
We laughed together and you reminded me of who I was and what stock I came from and how I should always hold my head high irrespective of whatever situation I find myself.
I was confident you were pulling through and you then encouraged me to go and have a bath, I did not want to leave you so I stubbornly ignored your plea and remained but you kept insisting that my hot water will get cold as it had been prepared for me already I asked if you wanted to rest to which you responded to in the affirmative and only then did I leave .
Little did I know that will be our last conversation on this earth. I thank God that you passed in peace, no suffering, no pain and absolutely no strive, your last words were Jesus as you called upon Him till your last breath.... Dad misses you terribly but God Has been faithful and kept him strong. There is absolutely know day that passes that he does not mention you and talk about how wonderful a wife you were.
Thank you for being the God fearing Mother you are and raising me the way you did, thank you for that wonderful sense of humour, your ability to bring peace in the midst of a brewing storm, your love for children, your kindness, your beauty , your grace, your compassion and respect for others and that divine wisdom that you always displayed even at the most challenging of situations.
Continue to rest in the perfect peace of the Almighty. I love and miss you very much Mom.
