“Happy Birthday my beautiful Angel 😇
Today you would’ve turned 25
Our first 1st of November without you.
I write this with a huge lump in my throat and tears soaking my pillow knowing we will never see you again in the physical That fact alone aches my heart. My chest tightens and my womb hurts just thinking about it.
I haven’t slept since yesterday, anticipating this day. The day I gave birth to you. Today 25 years ago is a day I will never forget. And you my dear 1st born child, I will never forget you.
Today is bitter sweet as we unveil your stone and celebrate your birthday. A life worth celebrating 🍾 ✨️
Asiphelenga 😢,” Manaa said.
