Enjoy your labour

In this week of September 2016, I had the unfortunate honour of packing up my sister’s stuff after her demise. My sister, Olufikayo Atinuke Keazor (Nee Famuyiwa), died of breast cancer on Wednesday 14 September of that year. She was 39. She lived in Dubai, so I had to make important and fast decisions about her and her belongings and help bring her body back to Nigeria. As I went through her possessions, I was sure of one thing—she had lived a good full life. She enjoyed her labour.
