It's Inay birthday….
I am not always close to my mother as we did not sometimes agree on most things, but still I am grateful to her for all she’s done for us. It was not easy taking care of five kids, it was not easy going through the phases of life with each of us but she did it.
There were times when we are all studying, all five of us, two in university and three in secondary school and money is not enough, this was also the time that Itay has stopped working for over a year, she did all the earnings doing small time businesses. I remember them preparing the special ice candy late into the night. These ice candies were then delivered to some schools in the morning who have agreed to sell them. I know it was not easy to prepare those because it looks to me like the ice cream preparation and she’s doing it manually and hundreds of it because we have quite a number of schools to deliver it to. I remember we have a big freezer to contain them and lots of ice boxes for deliveries. She persists until Itay went back to work again.
For all the hardships that life has dished her, she remains strong. I really commend her spirit in the way she keeps on going through the different challenges that life has given her. One prime example was when we lose nearly everything due to one business that went kaput, she almost went over the edge with it but still she overcomes that. With the help of a spiritual group, she finds the way and the faith to overcome the loss and the strength to go on. Until now she’s still with the group and acts as their mother.
She’s not that young anymore and along the way she lost her beautiful façade, but now she found more and has become beautiful inside. She has the faith and the belief in God who has given her strength and this surpasses everything that was superficial before.
So Inay, happy 59th birthday, God bless always and remember that we all love you…..
