Baby Josh has the best of the best aunties in the world!!! He is covered with dozenS of gifts from all over the world : from my girls-turned-sisters in the U.S, France, UK, Ethiopia... From my cousins, sisters, aunts-in-law all over the world and in Cameroon (From Ndop to Bangangte, Douala, Maroua, Yaoundé), the gifts have poured in overflow.
My pregnancy and delivery have made me realize and treasure the awesome people I have in my life. It has made me differentiate between "People who are curious" and "People who genuinely care." The curious, most often just want to be "in the know", they want the piece of information, yet wouldn't do anything about it - just content that they are aware. They dig, search or observe just to compare, judge or to simply be indifferent from far. They rarely connect at a deeper level than when they are seen/perceived as connecting with you. Those who care don't give excuses or give formulas to explain why or why not they did or didn't do something. You know them by the fruits of your connection. They most often get out of their way to connect with you at a deeper level : encourage you, visit you, send you messages, inbox you, WhatsApp you, call, offer food, send you gifts, in short ... Real recognizes real. Lol.
Their heart is visible through their actions.

It is a wonderful privilege to count at least five people aside from your blood family, who genuinely care for you like that in one's life. I am glad I can count more than that. Yes, today I treasure them so much. And I hope to be as good a friend and sister as they are to me.
As with every experience in life, we live and we learn. I'm so grateful. So so grateful to God to have given me people on this earth that I can call angels, sisters, brothers beyond blood ties, beyond ethnicity and nationality, beyond social backgrounds, and beyond borders.
How can't I praise Him for such a blessing?
Comment ne pas le louer???
