It was your sensitive understanding of my plight and my very painful circumstances that has brought me to this place. A place of hope, a place where the memory of my twin will never die, a place where I can begin to compile my blog into a book that will bless and help many others. I am even grateful for those through rebuke urged me to move 'forward', that itself played its part.
You have all enabled me to build a fitting memorial to my twin's memory and I will never forget you. Folashade is smiling right now and so she should.
My situation and life is transformed forever, there will always be a big space for my twin, but now is the time to proceed to a different level….
A fellow twin just shared this in response to my blog: "Your blog is a perfect example of how we can somehow find the strength to move on with our lives, albeit in a different way without our twin, but also with hope. I believe we must have hope and that our twins would want us to keep that hope to move on with our lives. One of my favourite quotes is 'grief is the price we pay for love' and I feel lucky to have had the love me and Carmel shared even though she is not physically here with me now, that is something that no-one can ever take away from me. Take care Olu xx"
