After the trauma of chemo-radiotherapy-mastectomy, I did not think I’d be back at the institute that soon. Lutaaya, my big brother is facing tongue cancer head-on. We’re raising funds to help with treatment, medications, and the daily costs that come with fighting this.
Held, Then, and Still….
“You were my first and I didn’t know what to expect.
When the time came, I checked into hospital. I was in labor for two days. On the third day, the doctor had to pull you out. You were getting weak and tired in the womb.
After I delivered you, you had to be taken to the neonatal intensive care for observation.”
And thus began my life 56 years ago…
Today, I chose to spend my birthday by having lunch with my parents.
I am deeply aware that it is no small gift to still have both of them here, to sit across from them, to listen, to laugh, to remember.
And for a moment, it felt like we were back there again.
Just the three of us.
At the very beginning.
I celebrate them today
For loving me.
For worrying about me.
For praying for me.
For chastising me.
For cherishing me.
For leading me.
For celebrating me.
For being there for me through every single one of my 56 years.
And today… they prayed over me again.
There is something deeply grounding about being reminded where you come from. There is a pricelessness about being held, not just at the beginning of life, but all the way through it.
At 56, I begin here: Held. Grounded. Ready.
