Tomorrow Will Surely Come

I received a telephone call from a childhood friend of mine yesterday, it was a welcome call because she really understood what I was going through. She listened and understood that my uniqueness as a twin meant that my grieving process would be different. I really do appreciate her for taking time out to empathise with me.

I am happy that it is a bank holiday today in the United Kingdom, there is the Notting Hill Carnival in London, I have never been to one before but heard a lot about it. A bank holiday for me these days means quietness and being alone, that is what I can cope with at the moment, but tomorrow comes, tomorrow Tuesday means I have to face the world! This means travel to Hertfordshire where my office is based and sort out some urgent issues.

However, I am looking forward to my mother's birthday on Wednesday, it would be a welcome distraction, a celebration in fact and I am thinking of what to buy her. She is staying at Kent at the moment. I am thinking now: What would Folashade have bought her?

I wish I could announce today that am a better place, I can't but I know tomorrow will surely come. I leave you with these chorus from you tube 'God will make a Way":

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness
He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today

  1. Sometimes I find myself thinking, 'If Aunty Shade was here...' or 'Aunty Shade would have done it this way....' Still miss her, but it is well. Death is not the end....not for us.
