Moments like this remind us how quickly things can change and how unimportant material things become in the face of life itself.
We’re not sharing this for sympathy but to remind someone that things can be replaced. Lives cannot.
We’re choosing to remain thankful to God for protection, for perspective, and for the quiet strength to keep going.
If you’re navigating a sudden loss of any kind, we hope this reminds you: we can rebuild. We can begin again and find the strength to keep going.
“One breath, one prayer, one step at a time”, Darey and Deola wrote.

He said, “This could have happened in Lagos, too. I don’t even know how it happened; I’m just laughing.
“At this point, I think I need to give up. Thank God nobody was injured or killed. We are all good.”
