Diana marua eulogising her grandma. I had planned to go see my grandma with the kids this coming Sunday. Earlier in the week on Monday evening, I was informed that she was unwell. I got home and packed my bag to go spend the week with her. On Tuesday morning, I prepared, carried my bag set to leave for her place. I switched on my phone, and the first message I received was that "Mum has gone to be with Lord." I couldn't breathe. I screamed my lungs out. I was in shock, I was numb. She was the mother I didn't have. She did all she could for us when we lost our Mum, her daughter. To see you lying in this casket was a blow for me, another heartbreaking moment. This pain, I cannot explain. You died in your sleep peacefully. You left instructions for people to celebrate your life and not mourn. You requested to be buried as soon as possible. You have taught me a lot in this life. How to be strong and move on with life, to let go of hurt and pain, and most importantly, what it means to walk with God. I celebrate you today. You will forever be in my heart. Dance with the Angels. Talk to Mummy and Shosho about us. TELL THEM I WILL FOREVER MAKE ALL OF YOU PROUD, I PROMISE. TILL WE MEET AGAIN, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU 🕊🤍 God, thank you for allowing Shosho to give us the best. Heaven has gained another sweet Angel. It is well with my soul 🙏
