My Zakhumi you were supposed to be my second born
I fell in love with you the first day pregnancy test confirmed you were growing inside my tummy
It was in 2009 and you were supposed to be with us in June 2010
I remember how active you were, always kicking and dancing like a soccer player
Me and Ovayo were looking forward to seeing you, loving and cherishing you
I will never forget the night you stopped breathing nor responding
Somewhere, somehow I knew something was wrong but I didn’t want to believe it
I was already 8 months pregnant
Zakhumi we were very close but you decided to give up
You know what at first I was angry at you and blaming God for taking you away from me
I was confused and disappointed
I know you are happy in heaven
Ovayo still asks a lot about you and what happened to you
There’s just one important thing you need to know
We still love you and we will never forget you
I never went for counseling after losing you because I thought I was fine up until I was pregnant again
I was so scared I didn’t even want my family and friends to know about it.
I prayed each and every day asking God to protect this one
I didn’t want to lose her too.
I am delighted to tell you that you have another sister, Alunamida
Baby girl your mom is a strong woman today because of all these troubles and tribulations
I am glad I had to go through all of them because they brought me close to the man above, God
I have stopped fighting my battles he does that for me
We miss you.
Uzohlala usengqondweni yam,uyinyama yenyama yam
Igazi legazi lam, UThixo Ovayo uthandile ukuba ungawuhlali lomhlab'umagad'ahlabayo
Kugqithile sana lwam ngoku siyadumisa sithi ewe uthando lwenkosi Alunamida
