My son, the angel
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
Agnes says:
After losing my only son (Prince Shem) who died on 10th May 2010 at the age of six months, I thought that life wouldn’t continue, because at that time I could not understand the purpose for of living. I longed to commit suicide, and involved myself in drugs and drinking so that I could be relieved of the incredible sadness. Even though I suffered a great deal of emotional frustration and anxiety during my pregnancy, as my child was the result of my then boyfriend raping me, my son’s birth turned that darkness to REAL LIGHT.
My son was my pride and joy, my everything! After a great deal of heartache involving my Son’s father, who left me for another woman, my son’s father started to visit us, which really filled my heart with love. Unfortunately, a great deal of pain and sadness was about to be brought into my life, and a drastic change in my life occurred. I was at work, just like any other day, and I received a call from my brother who told me to come to the hospital immediately. When I arrived, I found my son lying there, dead. I was beside myself, and all I could do was scream, “Why God? Why?!” Later I found out that while my son was being fed porridge, the food went down his throat in the wrong direction, causing his airway to be blocked.
It has been hard but through verses such as Psalm 27:10, I have been strong, knowing that the creator is the taker, he was only my gift for a short time. And God has a reason for taking him away. I always believe He needed more angels and my son was one of the best.
Never question God. He always has a reason.

I spent 20 odd years on and off the streets, in numerous addictions, and a continual victim of domestic violence, co-dependency, and in sexual immorality. Through it all I always heard from others about how strong I must be to survive all the things I have survived. Two years ago I was broken in every sense of the word. I rededicated my life to Christ and Thanks to Him, I have overcome all that afflicted my being.
