I
did not want to post this but may be it is helpful especially to the
lovely friends of ChiChi as I seem not to be coping with the queries
about Chi's birthday tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your calls and text messages regarding ChiChi, The Amazing Girl's birthday tomorrow, 23rd May and the support you have been pledging to the family.
For now, we are keeping the day tight to the family - as a remembrance moment, this also applies to the first anniversary/commemoration of her passing on the 28th of May, which is this coming Saturday.

But, to mark her birthday tomorrow ,please feel free to toast to the
following wherever you are as a way to honour her life and advance her
legacy of breast cancer awareness creation accross Namibia and beyond.
You can therefore toast to:
1. The glass of juice or water, cup of tea
2.Some Green salad ( as part of healthy eating) - but she actually loved the traditional potato salad, macaroni cheese, marathon chicken, especially - when it comes to the chewing of bones, not necessarily meat, a bit of braaivleis and yeah ( lol).
3. A brief chat on how to prevent breast cancer cancer
4. A firm decision to go for mammogram or related test
5. A visit to a breast cancer or general cancer warrior
6. Pledging support to cancer warriors or their loved ones
7. Acquiring a flower - even from the garden, you do not need to buy it as the idea is not to spent money really.
8. Bake a muffin - or a cake if you can - but do not stress over it
9. Making a pledge to study hard especially the youth
10. Caring for your community - especially the needy
11. Taking part in issues affecting your community, youth and country
12. Or just a good loud laughter - close to that of ChiChi...
Actually a ChiChi-Laugh is easier and cheaper to imitate - that way, I am sure you have thought about the Amazing Girl and the principles she stood for.
And I am sure there are other ways you can mark her birthday by doing something that is good and changing the life of the next person. Just remember, breast cancer and other cancers are real and continue to take the lives of our loved ones. Today it is my family, and tomorrow it can be the next family, therefore, we have to take off where ChiChi left the struggle against breast cancer, especially its prevention where possible. And to support the cancer warriors at all times.
Happy Birthday ChiChi, The Amazing Girl.
