To Auntie Retain

God has once again gained another angel today. It finally has hit that you are no longer here and it is very unfortunate you left in the state you were in. I know that you are resting well now and have reunited once again with our Father and Uncle Wayne. I’m only relieved that you no longer have to suffer and that you are in the best place to ever exist; however, it is still hard to accept that I won’t be able to see you here anymore. I believe our family and everyone who had known you are feeling the same way at the moment.

You had not only been an aunt but a huge role model in my life. From a young age, you have taught me that when we are faced with pain and suffering, we have a choice to either blame or just surrender. You taught me that surrender leads to healing and wholeness, while blame will only lead us to anger and bitterness and division. This mindset that you have has influenced my life in so many ways possible and I believe my view on life had changed since then. Although there are times where I just fall into the path of blame, I try to remind myself of this exact teaching and I am very grateful for that.

Both you and Uncle Wayne had not only been such an influential part in my life, but I believe in all the younger generation in our family. Most of my best childhood memories were at your guy’s place along with the rest of the family. The joy and love you guys just spread to everyone around you, is one thing that we all down here will forever miss.

I just want to say now that you have fought well, not just against this sickness but everything in life in general. This reminds me of our conversation that we had about a month ago. It was the first time I had heard about any of the struggles that you had went through. I still remember just being in shock and admiration of how much you loved your kids and the things you were willing to go through for them. It was my first time having such a conversation with you and it still sticks to me till this very day. I am now in regrets that I didn’t have more talks like this with you while I still had the chance to; nevertheless, grateful that I ever even had the chance to.

All I can say now, is that you can finally rest now and be in the hands of our Father once again. You are now at home, where you had always been excited to return to. I hope you and Uncle Wayne can continue to spread the joy and love you embodied to everyone down here, especially on Anya and Billy, who really needs it at the moment. However, don’t worry too much because I, along with the rest of our family, will be there to support them throughout the rough time. Just send us the strength we need and continue looking out for us all :)

To my beautiful and strong joyful aunty, thank you so much for all the lessons and just for being there for me. I only wish you full happiness and plenty of dancing sessions while you are up there in Heaven :). Thank you for everything. I love you and I miss you. Until we see each other again soon, take care and see you later:)

Love you always,
your Chitemwele.
