Recap..."another doctor announced the birth of a baby girl, another doctor pronounced the death of the newly born baby girl grandma"...same time, same place... God is Awesome & Great, He took life, then gives another life... We understood that when one person dies, another person lives. We were told that when my cousin was about to be pushed to the Labor Room, my late aunty passed out and never regain consciousness. When both of them were struggling with life, (my late aunty grasping for breath while her unborn grandchild was also grasping for life as her umbilical cord was choking her - distress baby); I believe God or angels must have asked which one of them would live?... and I believe my late aunty must have willingly gave her life to her grand-daughter..that exchanging or transfer of soul from grandma to granddaughter is really Amazing Grace.
Pictures taken...(malam ke 2 ngenyaie niang aunty). Let the pictures speaks for itself.

Yes, she will definitely be missed by her lovely daughters, son, grandchildren and all her relatives & friends....on the other hand, we as family, relatives are happy with the birth of late aunty's youngest grandchildren; congratulations to Florence (late aunty's eldest child) and hubby on the birth of baby Faith. This is what we call "happiness & sadness"...Facts of Life!Rest in peace my dear aunty....in Jesus name. Amen.
