My Dear Mother
Iye Stella baby like i foundly call you.
When you couldn't move a distance and tears became a slow breath that moves your steps, tears watered my eyes in pains.
When smells of delicacies
meant nothing in your mouth and every drop of spices became a struggle to swallow, i wept in secret
and prayed the Good Lord
to restore your days.
When the Doctors communicated their verdict
that all we needed was divine intervention, how i wish i could breathe life into you, but how it pleases your Maker to grant you eternal Rest.
Rest from the pains of this world mummy and be free from the troubles of this life. Your home is Glory.
Ha God my mama, my mother was an inspiring soul, always there for all who came to her with their troubles. Her home was open to everyone, and her hospitality made them feel important. She was the most loving, humble, compassionate, understanding, family-orientated woman and one of the most beautiful souls one could ever meet.
Mummy you were a precious gift from God, so much beauty, grace, love and patience you possessed. You touched my heart in so many ways. Even on dark days, your strength and smile made me realize i had an angel beside me. I do not know how i will do life without you. I am going to miss you soo much mum. We love you and will forever miss you, keep Resting in PEACE my IYENOGIE.
