Yes,
tomorrow, the 23rd of May is our Amazing Girl, late ChiChi's birthday.
Below is her birthday cake of last year. We did not have time to eat it.
At her birthday party, organized by her friends at one of the restaurants in the City, she told her lovely friends that the cake must go home, to be eaten one day at home. But, that was not possible as she was not well, her breast cancer battle became fierce and five days after her birthday, on the 28th of May last year, she bid all of good bye.
I hope some of you still remember that she joined the friends for the birthday from her hospital bed (that girl was just amazing), one day after she underwent one major operation - but since she knew what was waiting for her, she had already informed one of the doctors during the consultation and preparations for the operation theater that she would not miss that birthday party with friends - as it was a significant day in her life and truely so she full filled that promise. I am sure she maintained her peace knowing that she had a chance to have the last day with her friends.
From our side, there is nothing key this time - we are just remembering the Amazing Girl as a family - her loud laughter - especially around the house- and mainly in her room when chatting with the two ChiChi-Brothers (Sir Clint and Kev), the Saturday and Sunday treats - by now for example, you would hear her greeting -- good afternoon mommy and daddy...i brought you some goodies.....and then you see her with the boys with some plalstic bags from town, she love bed linen, decors for her room and the bathrooms ...and flowers (I guess some of you remember that she even posted on her face book page that it will be better for her friends and fans to rather give her flowers now, than to take flowers to her grave)-- sweets and related snacks .. and then her TLC channel ....and just the general joy that her presence oozed. - and remember (sssshhhh, I must not say this loud as she - said she will watch over us - watch us from above-- she said we had to lay her to rest close to the parents home - implying that we have to care for her all the time - even when she is resting away from home... therefore, the honourable thing to do is to continue caring for her - at her resting place...
Most of the gifts from the last birthday party are still intact --recently I was reading some of the messages from her friends and looked at those beautiful gifts....nicely arranged in her bedroom as she left them, we just move them for cleaning and put them back... Her room and how she packed her clothes in the wardrobes remain the same...all was left in its place -- as if she knew - and yes she knew although some of us still thought she would bounce back as we remain filled with hope, may be because we walked the breast cancer journey very tight with her and witnessed every low and high moment - and even though it was tough at times, she would always bounce back. And as a firm believer that nothing is permanent, we took it well that one day, and just one day - that day would come - and Chi also knew it, that is why she was at peace even the last moment....
I must still thank you to you all on this page and those not able to read this now - for your unwavering support since then --we have remained so strong and healthy - just because of your love and care...
And now we can in advance in unison say ----
Happy Birthday Amazing Girl.... World Peace - and Remain Strong, Poovii hapo?
To mark her birthday, you can also have a small thing wherever you are, a toast to a cup of tea or coffee, Juice glass or water - will go a long way - or some type of green salad - (healthy eating) what is important is that fact that your mark her birthday in her abstencia, and you know what, those who knew her closely, a loud laugh - is equally essential - that loud Chi-Laugh....
Rest in Peace - Chi, The Amazing Girl...from Oom Ben (Chi's dad as she would call her - as in Uncle Ben), Sir Clint and Kev - the brothers and the author of this post - Menee - her mom) and of course of behalf of her friends and fans and supporters.
