Message from Princess Makiah
Hello! Family & Friends, I want to put in your hearts that I am all right. I am better than all right. I have no more painful and sleepless nights. I know that you all miss me; if I were you, I would miss me too. Not boasting or bragging or thinking that I am all that. However, then again, I am all that. I have made it here and my heart now beats so clean and clear. You all missed the party that the angels gave for me; there was a lot of rejoicing. I told my friends about all of you. They said that they could not wait to meet you. Well you all know what this requires, it did not require much from me, see I was only three and this alone qualified me. I have seen the nail prints in Jesus’ hands; He held mine and said that, He was ready for me, even though it may be hard for you all to understand. It looks and sounds so good up here. The streets are gold and we are wearing the most beautiful robes. Believe me I am walking these streets; you all know how I loved to walk – Auntie Monica. I did not talk much there, but here I am speaking so that they all could hear.
I would love for all of you, to hear this. Go ahead and cry as much as you like. Because, I am so far away, above the sky. I know that you cannot write me letters just speak to me; I will hear every word so soft and sweet. I will always be with you, so please do not allow emptiness to take the place of me. Now, I have to get ready to go, see I am still the star of the show. I am brand new – I have a brand new life, I even have a new heart. So please keep me in yours and I will keep you in mine. Hey! Mom, Shavontay, I think of you everyday. I love and miss you; you did so much for me. You always spoke and read to me. You polished me with your love and when you visited me when I was in the hospital; you polished my nails with the soft pink nail polish that I loved. Hey! Nana, Alcina I send my love to you. I remember you giving me Big-Red chewing gum you played with me and I had lots of fun. Hey! Uncle, Shaquille, thank you for watching me, when my mom a Nana, had things to do and places to be. Thank you for rocking and holding me, the day Jesus called me, that 5th day in May 2009. You did not mind holding my cold body. For a 17 year old, your gentle touch warmed me so much and was so great to be-hold. Hey! Jayla, my baby sista, I love ya and Happy Birthday to ya. For the rest of my family, you all can still visit me, just by speaking to me.
I Love All,
Princess Makiah by Alcina Washington 10/7/2009
