2锔忊儯 Do you know someone dear to your heart who passed away unexpectedly? In case he/she can read your letter from heaven, what do you want to tell him/her? You can express your feelings, emotions, and everything else you've been holding inside that remained unspoken before he/she passed away.
Hello mum, it's your second daughter here again馃槂 how are you doing over there? Are the angels treating you well? Do you all get to wear crowns with lovely golds as the Bible says? Ohh I can imagine you in one of those, you鈥檇 look stunning in them.
Sorry I haven鈥檛 been writing frequently to you, I remember I last wrote to you in March and it feels like ages already but where鈥檚 the fun in it if I constantly write to you daily or weekly as there wouldn鈥檛 be much to talk about.
So here鈥檚 a little update on the things you鈥檝e missed out on all these years.
Your kids are all grown now, and they are way taller and bigger than you, do not fret as we are all doing well. Miebaka鈥檚 voice is now too deep for a 19-year-old. Dad refused to remarry, apparently, he can鈥檛 get over your hotness hehehehe馃槀 your sister and brother are doing so well and they鈥檝e been super supportive, especially Aunt Charlotte your sister馃槂
I have so many things to say but I think saying them might hurt you more as you did miss out on a lot of things but here鈥檚 one amazing thing, you didn鈥檛 get to see us when we were stubborn, trust me we were a handful and your husband had to deal with all of that single-handedly.
You did leave us unexpectedly, one minute you were there with your big stomach heading to the hospital and the next minute you were no more. There was no time to ask for forgiveness for all the troubles I had caused you, there was no time to smile at you for the last time and no time to say goodbye.
Back then I had a lot to say to you but I wasn鈥檛 given the opportunity to do so. I might as well just state them all in this letter so you get to know them.
To start with I want to apologize for all those times I had questioned if you were my mother because of the way you had punished me whenever I did silly things, Lol so sorry it was just me being a child馃槂 if given the opportunity again I would gladly serve those punishments, grinning from ear to ear馃槂
As a child you were my first mentor, I loved the smart and brave lady that you were, and I loved how you spoke in gatherings with so much confidence that we couldn鈥檛 help but announce you were our mother to anyone who cared to listen.
At such a young age you inspired me to be the best.
I wasn鈥檛 opportune to tell you all of this because you left unexpectedly. I never got to tell you that I love your handwriting, till today your handwriting is the most beautiful handwriting I have ever seen. At some point, I did try to write like you but mehn it didn鈥檛 just work as your writing is unique.
I never got to tell you that I loved how dedicated you were to the things of God, I loved how you had so much faith in God and how you were prayerful. My little self could not tell you all of these back then as I only watched and smiled from a distance. If I knew you were going to leave so soon maybe I would have been able to tell you all of these.
This letter is supposed to be a short one as I don鈥檛 want to bore you with so many things and I also don鈥檛 want to exhaust everything in this letter as I need to write a third letter very soon.
So Mamacita continue to rest wherever you are, don鈥檛 beat yourself too much for leaving as we are all fine.
Goodbye my dearest mother
Your lovely Daughter
