We are fast approaching the end of 2011 and on the verge of 2012, for many this represents an opportunity for renewal, for me it is much more than that. It represents sad memories, thoughts and recollections of my dearest twin's last days on this earth and in her cancer ravaged body. The 14th of January is less than two weeks away, and in a week's time with my brother-in-law we will offer prayers at her grave side.
It is so hard at this time of the year, yet there is cause for optimism and for renewal of course. I feel the diary, the blog is coming together well and soon it will be a publication celebrating Folashade's fruitful life and more besides.
I was speaking to an old friend the other day and he felt there was a gap in publications that help people deal with grief back home in Nigeria. I have thought about a name but should only reveal it when the publication is complete.
Home is quiet now, everyone is out shopping, I can catch a few moments to reflect about where I go from here. I need to review 2011, I think it was a difficult year but am ending on a spiritual high despite the devil's best efforts. I only have God to thank for that.
Thank you God for considering me worthy to enter 2012!
