My mum will turned 55 - Nov 10...its been God all the way...it is when you a have an SS patient close yo you that you will understand exactly what it is....we have had good, bad and ugly times but she is always strong...HBSS is not a small matter.. RIP Tosyn

I can't rule out a case of suicide, if she knew in her own words "she'd live short and well."

Sickle cell anemia ain't d end and if she got to 37 and decided to quit, I can understand...

But I have seen people with it live above 50yrs and healthy.

The pains associated with crisis periods can be excruciating and insane.

People with SCA are usually strong and resilient. The torture they go through make the ones who pull through and live longer

successful persons.

Please singles, don't ever marry out of pity or emotions.

Until we criminalize marriage between two AS or between AS and SS, talents like this beautiful soul would continue to be cut short.

If you go ahead and marry each other, it's not Love, it's selfishness.

Rip.

So touching.

If her parents didn't marry, would you have known Tosin Bucknor?

Tosin seems to have committed suicide. The sudden death from sickle cell complications sounded off to o me all along... Poor, poor soul�

I doubt it's a suicide case. Although it can't be totally ruled out.
From the perspective of one living with the disorder, firsthand, I perfectly understand the emotional trauma involved.
Nevertheless, there are some people who are actually gifted to sense their death before they die.
Or, she could have written a simple poem with death as a muse.

Living with sickle cell is no joke.
That she was 37 doesn't make her immune to the pain of crisis.
There's something actually frustrating about having to handle a life long disorder.
That you know some people who have lived till 50s doesn't mean that there aren't those who died before their 1st birthday on earth.
One size doesn't fit all.

Like she stated in her poem, what matters is finding purpose, chasing your dreams. Because like I say "the fact of life is that the quality of life is more important than the quantity (years) of life"

A bright future, a bundle of talent, a lovely lady,gentle girl....her candle burnt out before her time.

RIP.

Some young people are still making this terrible mistake today of getting married with AS + AS genotype, all in the name of love.

If you truly know the meaning of love then you know that the love for your offsprings is the most important LOVE, do not kill them before their time.

AS + AS is death warrant for your offsprings if you cant afford the bone marrow transplant.

If i live my life according to their pace

What's my price in life's meaningless race?

Too much odds stacked against this fierce soul

So each hour, all I do is attain my goals

... I love this piece...

Beautiful piece.! Even if it's a poem intentionally written for the sole purpose of a moment she knows will eventually come.


Sadly, all that is left of her are memories.

Stop making SCD looks like a death sentence, though it may be tough but is not a straight death like that, when it's appropriate time to transit this earth, you will, with or without any disease or disorder.



Coming from a SCD patient.

She couldn't figure out the purpose and meaning in life
lacemose:
1. "What's my price in life's meaningless race?"
2. "Spent alot of days searching for purpose"

So, she made do with what she thought was the answer, or at least what made sense to her:
lacemose:

1. "So each hour, all I do is attain my goals"
2. "Then I put my thoughts into poetry and prose."

"I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6)

RIP Area Boss!

My only pain is she never posted it on Nairaland. Anyway, it still made it here and frontpage at the end of the day -- although due to a regrettable circumstance.
