In the middle of the night, big daddy came and woke us all up for prayers. We prayed for mama and for the family. After the prayers at about 2am we all went back to sleep
****************************************

Grinn, grin, ggrin, my phone rings, time check, its 6a.m in
the morning, with heavy eyes I picked up the phone
*caller: hello
*me: hello who is this
*caller: tee bawo ni ( tee how are u)
*me: Mo wa pa, e jo ta lo n soro ( am fine, please who is speaking)
*caller: boda e Shakiru ni ( its me ur uncle Shakiru)
*me: Alhaji e kaa ro ( Alhaji good morning)
*Shakiru: shey o shi wa ni Ilorin ni abi o ti de eko ( are u still in Ilorin or are u back in Lagos)
*me: am in Lagos sir
*Shakiru: well e ma bo ni Ajiran ooo ( well, b coming to Ajiran)
* me : shey ko is sir ( hope no problem sir)
Shakiru: Ko si, sha maa bo (no problem, just be coming)
* me: Boda mi, ki lon shele ( uncle wots happening)
*shakiru: anti mi ti ku oooo ( my sister is dead)
*me: ok sir......... Dropped call
Got up from the bed, check the seating room, no one
was there, got outside, saw daddy bathing for Abimbola with his Elder brother with him. Big Daddy ( dad's elder brother) has been with us for 3 nights now for prayers and vigil. I called dad
*me: Daddy e wa ( daddy please come)
* Dad: ki lo shele ( wots up)
* me: let's go into the room...... Walked them into the
room
*me: Dad, alhaji shakiru just called me now, he said
Mama has given up the ghost.
*Dad: when
*me: early dis morning
Next thing I saw was dad crying profusely, with his
brother consoling him. I went outside, bathed Abimbola
and then picked my fone and called my
friends................................................................................

And so Mama died, after all the struggle and pain, she eventually didn't make it, she struggled, fought hard, but she was always fighting a lost battle. Tos spoke of her last moments and she said,
Mama woke up around 2am and was coughing profusely, the cough was non stop till 4am, she gave her water, woke up my granny and called on everyone around cause the cough was becoming terrifying.
By 4am she was sweating profusely and then still coughing though not has vehemently as before, all the windows in the room was open, and everyone was using a handfan to fan her, but still she won't stop sweating.
At about 5am she signalled to Tos to come closer, she wanted to say somethings, while trying to speak, she gave up the ghost. Tos was right there, she saw it all, she felt the brunt of her suffering, she suffered, she really suffered. She was strong, but this was stronger than her.
For five years she battled on, she suffered long, she was mocked, she was abandoned, neglected and looked down upon. She was tossed around, she saw hell while on heart.

And so my Mum died, not attending my convocation like she said, and so she suffered for nothing, all the pains where for nothing.
***************************************
I remember you mum
You shone like a sun mum
Even when you kept mum
Your silence echoed long

Even in death
You remain a conqueror
You conquer pains
You conquer shame

You fought the good fight
And you left the battle field with you head high
You came, you saw, you suffered and you died
You cross the whole essence of life
You remain a blessing to me

Keep resting in the bosom of the lord
I will always miss you mum
To the best of mum

You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Lord, take this message,
To our dear mother up above;
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
MAY HER SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE.

I got to Ajiran and met association of mourners, immediately the saw me and my brothers, all those I saw gisting from afar started wailing and crying, I greeted them and just went in to see my granny.
Granny was weeping and I tried to console her, to everyone amazement I dint even blink or shed a tear. I met my sister, her eyes were swollen, she witnessed it all so I guess she felt the pain the most, I hugged her and she started sobbing again, I told her to be strong and my two friends with me took her out.

I got to the room where mama was laid, and she still look alive, I sat close to the bed and tried telling her all that happened in school. I was brought back to reality by big bangs on the door, the door was forced open and I was told have been crying and shouting for the past ten minute and it seems I had locked the door from the inside.

Dad also arrived and we made arrangement for the burial, he called his friend, a pastor so as to officiate the program. We sowed the gown, bought the gloves and had a carpenter made a casket quickly.

Mrs Id bathed her body, and I carried her into the coffin myself, I and my friends took the coffin and after prayers had been made, she was eventually laid to rest at about 3pm.
By 8pm we got back home and then broke the news to our neighbours, who couldn't believe our calmness and the happiness on our faces. Not that we were happy, but like they say, she had gone home to rest, so we were happy her pains were over.

That night, I dreamt and saw her peeping through the window, calling my name, I saw her and asked her to come in, she said 'hope I won't scare your friends' I told her its her house that no one would be scared. She came in and I explained all the issues in school to her. Then she said 'tee, I can't do anything to help you, I am dead now' she then disappeared, and I suddenly woke up.


October 21st was suppose to be my convocation, but I was at home having the 8 days prayer for my mum, then I remember her words, that she won't be at my convocation.

Soon I got a call from ife saying.....................

Soon, ife called me and told me we have been posted to the same state, wow, we started together and we are gonna end it together, fate must have had a plan for us I taught.

Fortunately enough ife and I were in the same platoon at the camp, but during this period, she was back on drugs, the ruggedness of camp was taking its toil on her fragile health, but she remained strong.

I made sure she was the first person I snapped a picture with in camp, I also had about 10 other pictures with her.

Camp was over, Ife worked are way to the city's capital while I was pushed to the interior part of the state. I couldn't see her till service was over.

Two years after service, Ife got married and soon enough she had her first child. I was so happy for her and proud of what she's become. Ife now works with MTN nigeria, and she is taking the best care of herself.

****************** THE END**************

Its a case of two ladies, one survives and the other didn't.
We all should take a clue from the survival and not be victim of circumstance like mama.

Every Lady is at risk of brea*st Cancer, early detection is key to survival. Get tested today
