A Mother’s Love and Her Daughter’s Strength
My name is Margaret, I am Yewande’s mum. My daughter was born 27 weeks old. Eleven weeks premature. The hospital did not discover immediately that there was anything wrong with her. The first thing that I noticed was that her legs were stiff after six weeks when we left the hospital. The Neonatal consultant called […]
Day 21 ( 03.08.17) Thursday
At the beginning of Nimmy’s program at Peto, we were told that the Institute was going to merge with a University; it was no longer going to be on its own. The Government instituted a law that no college should stand alone. Either a college expands to become a University or it merges with a […]
Thank you
Starting this journal only came as an idea after a few days in Budapest. I really didn’t have it all planned out but I took it one day at a time, jotting down and taking notes of things that were happening around me. The content of this journal has been written from my perspective, and […]
What next?
Currently, I have a lot on my plate. Each day I learn to prioritize; I am still learning. Yes, family comes first but there are days I lock myself in a room to get my job done or to have a ‘me’ time. Writing a home exercise plan for Nimmy and following up to ensure […]
Looking back…..
Looking back at my summer break cum Nimmy’s therapy sessions in Budapest, I learnt a lot about life. The good, the bad and the ugly. I realized that human beings were human beings everywhere; though our culture, race and colour may be different. I realized that as human beings we are limited in our perspective […]

Life sometimes gives us the opportunity to learn from our mistakes. Going to the airport this morning I made sure I had enough money to wrap three bags and more. On getting to the airport, there was a concierge company available (men who would help you carry your luggage to the collection center) at the […]

There are times in life you discover that you don’t value what you have until you lose it. Budapest has the best transportation network I have ever seen. Several years back, you wouldn’t see so much traffic in Dubai but in recent times, the traffic has become gangster. The transportation system relies heavily on taxis. […]

(Early hours of the morning after we got to […]

Yesterday afternoon after paying 7,200 forints for our transfer car to the airport, I was asked to pay an additional 3,300 forints (to change from a car […]
Day 30 (12.08.17) Saturday
I woke up with my mind made up. I was going to buy the pashmina shawls from the souvenir market. I had bought some from Mr. Henry earlier and he gave me discounts. I was relying on the fact that he would still give me the same discount this time around. However, I still didn’t […]
Day 29 (11.08.17) Friday
Today I woke up very happy; last day at Peto. Hurray! I was tired and ready to go back home. three days ago one of my favorite mums in the group had approached me that she wanted to leave the next day because her kids at home were really missing her. I asked her if […]
