Adieu Yei: Centenarian!!!!

Written At The Break of Dawn on July 6, 2016

Today I hold & care for a new Baby Girl

We call her a "Preemie" because she arrived too early

She's very new and small and just a few days in age

But we rejoice at her arrival and all the hope that lies ahead

In stark difference, you lived longer than your time

We call you a "Centenarian" because you lived past 100

Strong and vibrant and full of energy

Your memory so sharp

Your heart so pure

Your prayers still fervent

And your laugh so boisterous!

The Mother of Eight (8) Strong Children!

Mother of Wisdom! Mother of Legacy!

We all joked about how you asked us not to pray for long life

You said you were ready to be with Him

To live with Christ forever

In the midst of your personal prayers

God translated you from your knees to His Arms!

"It don happen!"...My Father, exclaimed
My Father, your First Son.

Another heart broken

And yet GOD always seems to make sure that he is right where he needs to be 

He was right there to rush to your side

Yei!

The Love of a Mother is too deep 

Watching my Father bid farewell to His Loving Mother?

It's just too deep!

Adieu Yei! What a life well lived

You are the envy of so many to come

We celebrate you now and always
Your legacy remains with us all
Your Grand children & Great Grandchildren

Sun re!
