MAY 25

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

 Above is 2nd Corinthians Chapter 4 verses 16 to 18

 ________________________________________________________________
I have been trying hard to study and find comfort in God's word. Activities are taking over. We are relocating. I'm getting back to work so I know my healing is going to be overshadowed by activities. I don't want that.

 I want to be confronted with my loss until I am no longer utterly distraught when I am made to remember.

 My family has enjoyed immense support from family and friends especially church folks. 

 So far, here are the things I have noted: I am not alone; God is right here being my friend in a trying time. I will not be able to get over my Modebare, I will only learn to live without her. I can't put a timeline on my recovery or that of Irebami, I am prepared that no day would go by without remembering her.

 On no account should I negect BamBam or Tunde or other members of our family.
This is not going to be easy but I'd prefer to do it right. 

 nb: I had the Berry Bear in my arms all night. Same way Mode-B would snuggle in my arms whenever I was nearby when she slept.  I miss my sweet sugar coconut. I miss her tiny sweet voice. My ever willing muse.

 One day at a time, Bolanle. One day at a time!

MAY 26

PROVERBS 15: 13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed. ___________________________________________________________________ So let's just say there's some amount of sorrow lodged in my heart. Is my spirit crushed? Oh yes it is! Is it permanently crushed? Definitely not. ____________________________________________________________________ “You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”  ―  Anne Lamott

My mind has been focused on how not to think about you this whole week my love. By this I mean how not to be sad on your 5th birthday. I had thought having another child would make it better, Larondo mi, so so wrong. I'm thankful for your brother but I wish you were here trying to get his attention and love him just like BamBam is doing. I wish you didn't leave us my love. You would have been five today, you would have been a superstar at school. Showing off your clothes and cake. By now you would have been able to tell me what cartoon character you wanted on your cake. Oh my Apeke, I am still so sorry after almost 3 years that I couldn't save you, I couldn't be super mummy.  Irebami still speaks of you as though you only died last month. You have a brother now, we named him Obafemi, he doesn't look like you not even a bit. I've been studying his features just to see if you are in there at all, no you are not my special girl, you are irreplaceable, I...

MAY 21

  I know it's not a dream but I wish I would wake up and heave a sigh of relief that this nightmare is not real.  My sweet little one, my darling Modebare. I have loved you since the first day I set my eyes on you. You actually made it impossible to not love you. My sweet girl.  I have promised to not question God Again but I look forward to seeing you again and you will tell me all about it. Why you had to leave so young with a part of me. I have died over and over with every tear that dropped from my eyes.  My darling, how I grieve at your death. The dreams I had built of you all shattered!  The memories we made together are priceless my darling. Your sister is distraught and confused at the same time. She is wondering why she cannot be an angel too and thinks its unfair you get to skip school. She misses you so much.  We have to give her another sister or brother not because we can replace you but because we want you to come back and share our ...
