The name Ahania appears in the
mythology English poet William Blake invented as a way to express his spiritual
and political concepts. Ahania, in his
writings, is the goddess of wisdom. Closer
to home, Ahania was all of that. She was
also the mother of my dearest Desiree and her siblings.
Yesterday, Ahania, mother of
Desiree, passed on at a hospital in the city of Dumaguete in the Philippines.
Today, we begin our celebration
of Ahania. Not the Ahania of Blakes’s
mythology. No. Today, we celebrate the Ahania who brought
life and light to Desiree and all of the family.
Desiree and Her Mother, Ahania
I’m sorry no one from outside Bayawan will able to attend. Let Erica and myself know if there is anything we can do.
ReplyDeleteDesiree and her girls were able to travel to be with Desiree's sister an hour or so from where she lives. Thanks for the offer!
