Dear Abbie Ntshabele, Some call you Abbie, some Abbian but I call you Angel. I dont even know where to start nor have the guts to write this but let me take this Risk my Angel. I have never met you nor talked to you But it feels like I have known you for years. Firstly, I heard my aunt talking about this young girl who was diagnosed of cancer and I didnt take it seriously into consideration. All of a sudden, my friends started talking about you, the media, Gaborone, then the rest of the nation (Botswana), followed by the World.... Thing is, I kept on wondering who Abbie was and never got an answer. The year 2015 begun and I was approached by a certain lady to join their committee in assisting them to raise funds for your treatment. Still I kept asking myself questions, Who this Abbie girl was... I then agreed to their request, also bearing in mind that I so wanted to find out who Abbie was. Only now Abbie, Only now, I realise that youre just not a small 14 year old girl from Mochudi, but something inside of you that connected me to you, a world shaker, an Angel and most importantly a Fighter. Through your mom and her good friends who went all out to connect you to the World, Woooow!! What a loving Mom you have. Shes special and I know you Smile about it all the time when you hear such. Lately people ask me questions because they see me involved in these fund raising committees and guess what?, I simply tell them, youre my younger sister who lives in the UK (hehehe). I connected with you through the people of this beloved country Abbie and I started praying for you the moment I got involved. When you get up from that bed, you come home and study medicine (for I know youre as brilliant as youre), and advocate for Healthy Life Styles!! I didnt know what to do for you, either to write this communication or sing you a song but then I said to myself, let me apply my small mind to Poetry and this is what I came up with, specially for you my Angelic Sister!! There I try..... Cancer is so limited; For it cannot cripple Love, It cannot shatter Hope, It cannot dissolve Faith, It cannot destroy Peace, It cannot kill Friendship, It cannot suppress Memories, It cannot silence Courage, It cannot invade the Soul, It cannot steal Eternal Life, And it surely cannot conquer the Spirit you have my Angel! Like I said, Im not a poet my angel and please dont laugh at me (LOL). I hope this small message from your new friend of the year 2015 and beyond makes you Smile and have Hope!! See you soon Angel!!
