Hey there!

It’s been a while.😊

How have you been and how are you dealing with the economic pinch? Abi e nor reach your side despite the increase in electricity tariffs and fuel price?😁

Honestly,at this point,I am just thankful to be alive and healthy. My family is fine and for that,we are thankful.

Today has been some type of day. I lost someone or should I say my mum lost someone quite close to her. Her uncle,that is,I lost my grand uncle.😔

My dad called me earlier in the day to break the news. I cried!Oh I cried. It was already some kind of day as I woke up really just burdened and I was struggling to get some work done.

However,as soon as I got the news,I just lost out on the struggle to have a useful day. You see,my grand uncle is like the closest thing my mum has to her close family. He is her mother’s younger brother. I didn’t know her mum as she had already passed before I was born. Her dad also passed when I was really quite young,maybe 7 to 8 years.

He was such a warm and pleasant person. Everytime he sees any of us(my siblings and I). He is usually so happy and excited.

I feel so sad for my mum as he has been the father figure in her life since her dad passed and knowing my mum,she would have cried so much. He is not a young man by any means,he should be in his 90s,still…

I pray for strength for his family. I pray that the Lord comforts and consoles them. Losing a loved one is never easy,no matter how old they are,no one really wants their loved one to go despite knowing that death is inevitable. We will all die someday.😊

My grand uncle was a remarkable man. He has been a constant in our lives,even when he does not see you,he will always ask about each of us,one after the other. He cared about my mum and looked out for her in so many ways. May God rest his kind soul.

Death is something we should all think about to remind ourselves of our mortality. People will always remember the kind words,deeds and how you made them feel. Remember to be kind always.😊

Have a good night and remember to be kind to yourself too.
