My dearest Jaden, Today is October 13, 2025. You would have turned 13—such a big milestone. This year, thinking of you has been hard, maybe it's because I came to Langa'ta after intentionally staying away or maybe 13 is so significant. I find myself wishing you had stayed and never left. It's unbelievable that time has gone so fast, yet love and memories remain. I look at your siblings; gorgeous, courageous& resilient, growing too fast into amazing people and I miss you. For the past few days, I have been lingering on Psalms 127:1-3 NIV "Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him . Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court." I am thankful for you. I carry you in my heart. I love you. Happy 13th birthday. Always Mummy.
