It's another Thursday and am here to share another of my beautiful memories here. Now there's something about this community that gives me joy and that's the fact that I can come here and reminisce on some of my beautiful β€οΈβ€οΈ life experiences.
For this I appreciate the administrative team and I say kudos on keeping this community alive.
Back in 2023 January I received a chat message from my cousin sister about needing my measurements for a particular type of dress. I smiled chic to chic because I knew what that meant she had be proposed to and we had a wedding to celebrate π₯³π₯³π₯³.

Fast forward to May 2023 the date was fixed and we had to travel now I had never gone to imo state by address the last time I had gone there was in the company of my church brethren as we went as a group for a burial ceremony. That's another story for another day, back to my cousin's wedding π. So she sent address and how to get to her place from Lagos.
We boarded a bus myself and my mother and off we went to Owerri. The trip was very smooth and by 3pm we had reached our destination and using the address we were able to locate her house. Where she welcomed us. Now the marriage rite had been done at her parents place so the wedding was to take place at her husband's place which was why we all had to travel to Owerri for the wedding.

The event was very colourful and we had all members of my family from my mum's side around it. With my mom's sister's or our family it doesn't matter the event we always show up for each other and support each other. Family to us means everything a d that's how life should be. If there's a need we show up and support if there's a celebration we show up and support every family should have this kind of support system because in actual facts this has kept us strong.
For us it doesn't matter the event or challenge we all show up for each other.
I'm so thankful for the love shared between my mother and her sisters all siblings should share same.
Now am getting emotional but love makes it easy to make sacrifices for the one you care for.. till next Thursday let the love of Christ resurrection keep us together.
