Dear friends, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our friends and family for all the prayers and sympathies that were shown unto us. It has been a year since our mother fell sick and was diagnosed with cancer and later passed away.
Our friends and family in Sweden, England and Kenya took it upon themselves to be there when we needed them most. Thank you all for your generosity, prayers and sympathy and most of all, for being there.
In her last days, our mother had the pleasure to see your generosity and she was really touched. She thanked all of you and prayed that all of you be blessed. Our mother was a very dedicated Christian, wife, mother, sister and social worker. I thank God for the greatest gift of knowing her and the gift of being her daughter. May God bless her soul and give her eternal peace. Amen.
My dear friends, life itself is a gift and we should learn to accept all that comes our way, both good and bad. This is because in every situation that comes our way, there is a lesson to be learnt. Every person that comes in our lives (whether for a moment or for a life time) has something to contribute to our lives or a purpose or a lesson to teach us. This is the life we have and the friends we have and we should learn to accept each other for what we are and what they have to offer. Accept each other’s good deeds and faults. Instead of thrashing each other, back stabbing, hating etc, we should try to figure out the lessons or messages the various people in our lives have brought unto us.
Along the line, we miss the small gifts brought to us by a husband, wife, daughter, son, boyfriend, girlfriend, brothers, sisters, parents friends and even strangers. Everybody has something to offer to another.
Thank you all for all the gifts that I have received from all of you. On behalf of my family, thank you for being there. Friends in England, thank you for being there for Ann my sister.
Please do not try to analyse the motive of this letter but accept it as a gift, a heartfelt message. God Bless You All.
