It's been long since I wrote to you. I know you are well in the Heavenly Kingdom of our Creator. Just wanted to let you know that you will forever remain in my heart until that day when we shall reunite and become one big family again. How awesome it will be! How I miss you my baby, I surely do. I always walk down memory lane with you on my side, laughing and joking together. I have not been to see you lately my sweet angel, I had a fractured patella and was down for 5 weeks and I am sure you were with me watching over your sweet Mom. Chikwa is fine, she too misses you a lot.

My Sweet Mpundu..... you are forever in my "Mom" heart
The Broken Chain
If I could take you down memory lane dear ones, we once gathered round the table just like the disciples. No chair was left unsettled. Each one had his own idea and would impact knowledge in the others. We were a chain that could not be broken.
I remember the noise, the smiles, the laughter. Each one wanted to be heard and had his own perspective on life. When a problem rose, an ear to listen was there and could be attended to. United we stood and happily we lived.
Today I woke up, with tears in my eyes I asked myself why?????? And then I realized that we are the broken chain. Death came in and cut our chain. All that is left of us, are the pieces that we try to mend everyday but with no success. We try to sit around the table hoping you are going to feel pity on us and share the tables with us once more but you never come. There is a wailing noise of anguish that we hear and we pack our problems hoping that you are going to help us solve. We are now hopeless.
Days may pass, years may come and go but we still feel your scent and memories of you are so vivid. We would give anything just to see you once again. We always hope for a miracle to happen dear ones. Your life is in the Lord now. And we are going to leave everything into his hands. We are going to be dependent on him and to him be the glory. We thank him for the wonderful years that he allowed us to be with you in this world. We can not take back what has been robbed from us but we shall live to cherish the memories.
But for now we remain the broken chain.
Forever in tears

Letter to Mpundu on 2/1/2008
My sweet Nana,
It's yet another new year without you my baby. I cry and miss you every single day. I always look up to the sky searching for you but to no avail, My baby the gap you left in my heart is still very... extemely ...painful and I wander alone down memory lane with you besides me talking and laughing or Dropping you off at school etc. brings a stream of tears. I wear a mask most times just to move on but its not easy, not easy at all my love. You are forever missed and forever you will remain in heart until rapture, when we shall reunite in His Glory.
I am always thankful to God for having given me an opportunity to give you life and in His own wisdom & at His own time God had to call you and you answered and peacefully you went. Your passing into celestial glory is still vivid. I remember calling your name, you tried to open your eyes but failed. I am so heartbroken my baby but God is full of mercy. I have soldiered on with a lot pain and kept your memory alive. I know You are peace in His Kingdom where you live together with our beloved ones who have gone before and after you. I always give glory, honor and continue exalting God for your life.
Continue resting in the arms of the Lord my dear Mpundu. Forever missed and forever in my heart.
Your forever in tears mom, Judy

My darling Mpundu,
It will soon be your birthday on the 26th and you are no older. I pray that you will enjoy your Heavenly birthday with all the angels whose moms I have come to know after you crossed over. I will forever keep you in my "Mom" heart and there you shall live to walk with me throughout my life until we meet in the Heavenly Kingdom of God Almighty. I miss you my baby, I surely do. You must have been at hand to receive your first cousin Priscilla on 13th June, It has not been easy for us losing you people.
Keep watching over us with Brenda, Priscilla, Willie, Your aunties, Rachel, Lillian, Rabecca, Agatha and Uncle James, of course not forgetting your super Daddy. Tell them that they are forever etched in our hearts and memories. Tell Priscilla that her Children are well. Little TITA is with me. Please forgive me, I have not visited you in a long time due to circumstances beyond my control, Priscilla's illness and crossing over played a part too but I promise I will come and see you on 21st July.
Rest in eternal peace my baby, I loved you and in death I still love.
