28/12/2025
Once upon a time, this day was honoured simply as the day you were born
a day to spoil you, celebrate you, and call you our mom.
Today, it is a day to remember your value,
as a person, a woman, a mother, and a grandmother.
You lived a life shaped by responsibility, loss, and relentless duty, yet you met it with dedication, commitment, loyalty, and an unwavering consistency of love in all the ways that mattered. Despite your own struggles, you transcended what life handed you to give us the best you could , fighting fiercely to keep us safe, to create a sense of home, and to hold stability together while moving from pillar to post.
It was tough. It cost you deeply.
But your determination never wavered.
You showed up, again and again, with courage, discipline, and love, even when joy was scarce and the path was chaotic. That devotion became my foundation. It taught me discernment, endurance, and the meaning of standing firm for those you love.
This Year has been one of shedding releasing inherited weight while honouring the strength that shaped me.
As I move forward into the , I carry your lessons, love, and memories with me allowing them to shape my own evolution.
I strive to be a better person, a better woman, a sister, a mother and, God willing, one day an embodied woman of ancestral legacy for my dynasty.
Beyond survival, you embodied creativity and presence. You loved the beach, music, and dance — reminders that the body is meant to move, feel, and rejoice. You expressed love through incredible cooking, baking, and pastry, through your classic sense of style, your skillful hands with hair, and your quiet devotion to growing herbs and fruit. These were not small joys; they were acts of care, beauty, and aliveness. I inherited these loves too, living threads of you within me, teaching me that even through pain, life can be met with presence and purpose, loving creatively, with wholesome commitment, and leaving me memories that continue to remind me to live more fully.
Thank you, Mom, for loving us the way you knew how — and for never giving up on us.
Your love lives on... softened, conscious, and still guiding me forward.
I love always in all ways through eternity 💛
