Millie Smith and Lewis Cann were ecstatic when they learned they were having a baby. Millie believed she was pregnant with twins because her family already had a large number of twins. It turned out that her mother’s intuition was true The ultrasound confirmed her pregnancy with twins, but the physicians knew from the start that one of the infants had a limited chance of survival.

The parents learned that their daughter, born prematurely at thirty weeks, had anencephaly. This is a severe disorder in which the fetal neurological system, including the brain and spinal cord, fails to develop normally, resulting in death…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The parents were informed that their joyous child had only a few minutes or hours left to live.

Before they parted ways, her parents named her Skye. They wanted to name her before saying their goodbyes.

Millie expressed how vital it was for Skye to have a name before she was born. She knew Skye’s existence would be cut short, lasting only a few seconds or minutes, therefore she wanted to make sure she was given a name during that limited time.

She explained that the name “Skye” indicated a place where they imagined their baby would always remain, a reminder that they could look up at the sky and think of her.

Skye left us while she was in our arms. It was the saddest moment we’d ever had. I’ve never experienced such profound sadness before. I am delighted she battled so hard to stay with us as long as she could.

Skye’s life lasted only three hours, yet her parents appreciated her beauty and her presence in their lives.

Following her d3ath, the couple received assistance from a special midwife and were granted entrance to the “Daisy Room.” This chamber allows parents to spend time with their baby before and after their d3ath, bringing comfort during this sad time.

Nobody mentioned the girl after she went. Millie was angry because she assumed her kid had been utterly forgotten.

The bereaved mother recalls how the staff were initially aware of Skye’s plight, but everyone ultimately stopped talking about it. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Millie had just given birth to a baby called Callie, who was still in the NICU. While Millie was speaking with another mother who had recently given birth to twins, this mother unknowingly expressed how fortunate Millie was not to have twins, completely oblivious to Millie’s anguish and loss.

The other parents were not aware of Skye’s position. The innocent statement was made in jest. They were unaware that I had already had two children. Millie was extremely moved by the comment, running out of the room in tears. The parents were perplexed as to why she reacted in that manner. Millie could not bring herself to convey the issue to them. A simple sticker may have eliminated the misunderstanding.

Millie devised a means to indicate that one or more infants were lost in a group of multiples by placing a sticker on the incubator.

She added that she chose butterflies to represent the infants who passed away and that the color purple is appropriate for both boys and girls.

The Skye High Foundation, which grew from her original efforts, now supports the purple butterfly campaign. It has successfully brought this approach to a number of hospitals across many countries.

The purple butterfly collection includes a variety of gifts and accessories.

Millie stated that, while she cannot completely prevent this occurrence, organizing extra support groups and applying measures such as stickers will significantly help the issue. She agreed that the situation is extremely difficult for anyone to face.

Callie, her second daughter, is seven years old.

How The People of Ara-Ekiti Committed Mass Suicide To Avoid Enslavement in 1855

Published

on

By

The mass suicide was initiated by the leader of Ara town, Alara Elejofi, who (with the help of his first son) destroyed his properties, killed his family and himself. Many other households in the town replicated this act, and when the Ibadan army arrived with their wide array of weaponry, they turned back at the gory sight of dead bodies that littered the town…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Earlier, the people of Ara had rebelled against their former Alara (ruler) because of his bad governance and the grevious offences he had committed against his townspeople. He was exiled. It was during his exile that Chief Elejofi took over the rulership of the town.

The exiled Alara was not willing to let go of his throne and thus sought help from Ibadan. His request was granted because Ibadan, which as at then was gradually filling the vacuum created by the fall of Oyo, was hungry for towns to shove under its administration. The Ibadan army had just returned from an expedition in Ijebu-Ere and with their help, the deposed Alara returned to Ara and was fearfully accepted.

Shortly after Ibadan restored the deposed Alara of Ara, its army attacked Ikoro, another town in Ekiti, because they prevented Ibadan army from foraging on their crops, and also because there were rumours that Ikoro was planning to attack the Ibadan army.

During the attack on Ikoro, some other towns in Ekiti, including Ara-Ekiti, tried to defended Ikoro. The restored Alara prevented his townspeople from joining the fight against Ibadan, hence another unrest ensued in the town. Ibadan eventually defeated Ikoro and went ahead to punish the towns that helped Ikoro during the war, including Ara. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

During this period, Chief Elejofi had again taken over the rulership of Ara and held on to it for some months before it eventually crumbled due to starvation, and to avoid being enslaved by Ibadan, the people of Ara-Ekiti committed an unprecedented mass suicide. This incident is quite similar to the mass suicide of Igbo slaves off the U.S. coast in 1803.

The town of Ara was left deserted for many years before some of its exiled descendants returned home. Ara suicide remains one of the most disturbing chapters in the history of Ekiti and the entire Yoruba land.
