Emmanuel's Birthday on 8 December

Last year, this day I was busy getting ready for my son's birthday, picked up new clothes, called the other  family members, arranged for cakes, to be cut in his school, took him to the church, and together with my husband  and daughter  we celebrated his birthday, little did we know that this was the last of his birthday.

I recall and I feel sad, yet there is conviction from within that this too shall pass, for he was lent to me by the almighty for seven  years, and I experienced the presence of God, who not only challenged me, but also purified and transformed me - I feel a sense of awe, wonder and amazement, to realize, that God truly was with us - "Emmanuel" a wonderful Gift, I would always cherish in my life. Thank You my little Angel for making a difference in our lives, we will always love you for being our very special and adorable Child.


Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.

To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.

Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.
