Hi all,

My name is Anita and I am Demilade's mum. Where do I start from? How can you tell the story of a child that goes through surgery every 6 months for years either for cardiac or scoliosis, in a small paragraph? I am just a woman thanking God for turning my wailing into dancing. I call her an angel because she has gone through so much with a smile across her face. As you may have read or seen in this website, she has battled and conquered many surgeries including the ones that put her life at risk. She has never been alone from the start of her journey as God has never left her side and He is merciful and ever faithful. He has sent some wonderful and selfless men and women of God, Surgeons, Consultants and Nurses who have made the journey bearable for us till now. Despite the pain and agony, I have never thought of losing hope even though there were many challenges. As a mother, hearing that my child  is being bullied is like a knife stabbing my chest because I know what she has been through in her life. Today I am grateful that those hurtful and horrible events have made her stronger. This message is for all mothers who are going through similar situations to never lose hope as there is light at the end of the tunnel.
