Happy birthday dear daughter.

The days have passed by, they have rolled by, another year come. You would have been four today.

Things have changed. I no longer think I'm dreaming. I don't pinch myself trying to wake up anymore. I've come to terms with your passing. I know you are not coming back. I know my Hope is gone, my Nadya is no more.

So, as another birthday of yours comes, I remember you and all that you are. I wish it was all a nightmare and i will wake up sweating due to thee horror I just dreamed of but hugging you tight and thanking God its all a dream. But this nightmare is real, there's no waking up. I remember your calm demeanour, your stern gaze. I remember the way you call me 'mummy'. I remember your voice so well Mode Mi.

I remember the way you introduce your self, "my name is Modebare Akinnini Mode-B Nadya' how i used to laugh whenever you did that. Or how you insist that 'my name is not Layondo my name is Mode-B'. Oh my dear Larondo, what irony it is that you're always going to be a Larondo (my small one). How i miss you so!

I miss you Mo-Mo, i miss calling after you when you run around with those tiny legs... I miss looking at those pretty eyes. I miss your dance, your 'Agere' dance. I miss you laughter. Oh, your hearty laughter. I miss you dearly Apeke Mi, I truly wish that wishes do come true...

So, today, again, I wish you happy birthday Mode, there's no need wishing you any other thing: Cos long life is ❌❌❌ so nothing left.

Again, I'm thankful for the sweet memories I have of you. Having stumbled upon loads of videos of you earlier this week, I'm eternally thankful of the memories.

I love you endlessly my sweet lavender, my beautiful ebony eyes.

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...

  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 ...
