Lovely people

Hey my beautiful baby girl,

Aunty Tolu was really upset not to spend much of the long weekend with you and this email was sent to encourage her.
You are soo loved… please always remember that.

Hey 'Chelle,

Thank you soo much, its an encouragement for us all. I knew Sis was upset yesterday after I told her bout Le Fuzz, but I believe God will honour my daily prayers and bring her heart close to His… and therefore closer to us.

The unbreakable bond that holds us close… is the blood running through the veins in her beautiful lil body!

Cheers again love…
Sam...

Me
It is always fun and a nice surprise to hear your voice on the phone. You're more than a friend you're my best friend. Your more than my best friend your my sister. And your family is like my family.


So when we started talking and you sounded really sad, I was completely affected and thrown off all day.
You all (Sam, Folu, you, mom, dad, Eddie, everybody) have a tremendous light to your spirits. Madison has it too, which is why she is drawn to you all soo much. Its hard now I know, but I know that you know and feel that everything will work out and Maddy will be with her family for good when its all said and done.

Sam and the rest of you are in my prayers. But it won't last forever or even for long. I am sure Maddy will be home where she belongs soon soon soon.

This pic I took last Sunday after leaving rehearsal in Hollywood. The sun was setting and the clouds were purple blue. It was a vanilla sky. It made me smile and appreciate life and all the good things in it.
You would be one of my "I'm grateful for" things. True friendship is rare. In case you don't know you inspire me to be a better me, simply be being you.

Love ya girl
In a bit
Mi.

Daddy


Wow... what a journey!  Just got back from seeing you! Eight hour trip as the train was delayed, but I'd do it again, just to hear your say Daddy again! This was my first time I heard you say it and it still brings a smile to my face.  
 
This weekend, I gave you a bath and tucked you into bed after about 5 stories and a phone call to Grandma and Aunty Tolu and a voicemail to Uncle Bayo!  You just kept saying Daddy, Daddy, Daddy and I just wanted them to hear you say it!  The funny thing is that you waved goodbye to them when we were finishing off the conversation!  One more story... then it was bedtime.  
 
You woke up at about 3am and when I came to grab you, I got one of those hugs that melts me heart.  More milk, another cuddle and you were out like a light, like Daddy like Fuzzy!

After a Weetabix and banana breakfast, we drove over to Newquay Waterworld.  I put your swimming costume the wrong way round!  After a quick change and putting your arm bands on, we were off!  You were soo brave, you love jumping off the edge, into the pool by yourself, climbing up the slide and sliding down and when you had had enough you just walked out off the pool, it was amazing seeing you so ‘grown up’ even before you could talk!
 
Fishcake, a burger for your mum and bream for me at Fistral Blu restaurant, you would only eat if you feed yourself!  Another one of those amazing hugs as we went for a walk, then back home to drop me off at the train station.  

Words can’t explain how much I love you MIFC; you are the biggest part of my heart.
Anyway, its off to bed for me, darling, see you on Good Friday.

Love you always,
Daddy x
