Tribute to my precious diamond

When I started blogging, I dedicated my blog to a precious child who stole my heart. Today, it is with great sadness that I dedicate my birthday to her. I lost my diamond and to be honest, my heart is real heavy.

On Saturday 18th August 2012, Magda Holana Iteka passed on. They say August is a dark month in Kenya, this time I surely agree. My smiling angel battled severe malaria and finally rested. I could wail and scream and yell at the unfairness of it all, but I have calmed down enough to see that it won't do much good.





So I choose to see the brighter side of things. That through this little one, I learnt patience, resilience and generosity beyond measure. I was blessed to meet wonderful people and forge lifetime friendships that truly enrich my life. I touched a child's heart and got thousands of blessings in return.

I want her family to know that Holana was a diamond, not a rough piece, but truly a work of art. I know right this moment she is looking down on them smiling and saying, "I am at peace, so will you be in time"

My precious precious child, I will celebrate you as you deserve to be celebrated. And I do ask that all those who cared for you as I did, may you all join me in doing the same.

FOR SURELY, IT IS NOT EVERY DAY AN ANGEL GETS TO LIVE IN OUR MIDST!
