*crying*

I beg non cry naw.
Tell us about mama.

GRANDMA Whenever we drive to the village, Grandma had two
things waiting for us upon
arrival:  a sack full of fruits,  and a big pot of thick melon soup.

We called it Grandma’s Stone
Soup because it had everything
in it:  bits of meat, fish, cray fish, onions and some stuffs we don't even know about. etc

Sometimes we even drive to the village just to eat grandma's food.

Awww, that's sweet.

Grandma, she was the loveliest woman in the world. I loved her so much,we were friends, real friends. Even with the cultural and age difference.

Momo was a big business woman, she had two shops in Ilorin , one selling bags of rice, beans, garri e.t.c and the other selling pack of frozen turkey, chicken, fish e.t.c. I remember in those days,anytime I go to her shop, she will give me 500 naira food money during lunch hour to go and eat  and I could get rice, beans and meat for just 10 naira in those days lol

I have so many good memories of my momo, she was so protective of me - especially if i follow her to the village, and she was a very good cook but I remember she use to put "iru" -  i think it is called melon seed in almost all her food , stew, jollof rice, soup o . She made the best kunu as well and her favorite snacks to eat were "asala" , kolanut and waara (cheese - sort off).

She has a space in my heart forever, her  picture is the centrepiece in my home

Paternal Grandma: am indifferent to her. I have more bad memories of her than good. But I still love her. May she live longer.
Maternal Grandma: I only  remember seeing her like 5 times in my whole 20-something life. But she is cool, just like my mom. I love her too. Many more years to you.
My mum: May God continue to rest her soul. It's 2 months now that she went to be with the Lord. I miss her every moment. She is never tired of cooking for me, even at this age. She always pray for me. She is my gossip partner. I can go on and on,  She the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you mum.

Awwwwww. Mine have gone to be with the Lord too.
I always miss them more during the holidays which is why I started this thread. RIP Mom and Grandma. I miss you both soooooooooo much.

Amen to that.

@ Ink_Nerd; I know what you mean. It is a very touchy subject.
Thank God for strength.
I always advise friends to cherish their parents and loved ones while they still have the chance.
