Today my sister in Love ,my brothers wife was going home to celebrate her father's birthday. An event we have been planning for a few days. It was meant to be a suprise and a suprise we pulled.The smile on that man's face was worth every single effort.

We arrived in style,with his grandchildren leading the way. They presented him witha bouquet of money. Yes we kept the CBK guidelines. In the village where I am currently, this is still new and his friends could not stop talking about it. Yes his friends were there , attention to detail is our middle name.

Oh I love love,happiness and family in its different forms. We have ate and drank. We have danced and my heart is full.

To loving people when they can feel the love. To showing up when it matters. To saying I love you when our loved ones can still say it back.

To family 🥂🥂To Love🥂🥂

My mother has so many rules for life,the most important being show up for those you love. For most people it is a requirement for her it is a rule. She has taught us by example how to show up and what to do when you cannot physically be there.

I am who I am because I come from abundance of love and grace. Today I write about one of her friends who became family and has been there for most of our major milestones. Her parents then became our bonus grandparents. Her dad,a man who lived close to ten years without teeth rested last year. That man loved and cherished us as a family. We used to take him to his medical appointments or to visit his people. Every time he needed to go somewhere, however was available would drive him there.

On the day before he rested he was in so much pain,but he didn't complain once. I always admired his tenacity and love for his people,that man lived.

The last few months I have been away from home and as soon as I got here I went straight to see his wife. An amazing Grandma and great grandma. A woman full of life who comes from the generation of absolute kindness. She was so happy to see me and kept asking if we needed anything. Oh to be home,to be loved and to be seen.

She has the most hilarious nicknames and they get funnier Everytime I see her.

She still speaks so highly of her late husband. I as a hopeless romantic,I hope to love someone and be loved that much. So much that forever wouldn't be enough.

Love is beautiful people.
