I have missed many people in this life, both for good and for bad reasons, but in this prompt, I would love to write about my lovely father in-law.
The very first time my husband brought me to meet his parents, his father showed me unconditional love. He personally cooked for me and promised me everything good if I agree to marry his son. To be honest, one of the reasons I married my husband was because of his father. I told myself that if the father could be this loving and caring then his son would definitely make a good husband too.
Unfortunately, four years after our marriage, my father in-law died from stroke and kidney failure. Before his death, his wife and other children refused to take care of him when he became sick. They saw him as a burden and could not take good care of him, even his wife he lived and laboured for that led him to be struck by stroke hmmmmm. My husband and I took him into our home, and he stayed with us until he passed away.
At that time, I had not given birth to my own children. My father in-law would cry with me whenever I was sad, and sometimes he would even refuse to eat because I was unhappy. We did not have a DVD player then, but he encouraged my husband to buy one for me so I could watch movies that would keep me happy and help me forget my worries.
Many nights when my husband had not returned from work, my father in-law would call me to sit with him and he would began telling me stories. So many things I know today about my husband's family, he told me all, even things that my husband himself did not know. I truly miss those nights.
I missed the fact that he wished so much to carry my children before his death. I missed the times we cried together because my father in-law can cry for Africa, and I am another version of him, so we were a match😥😥😥.
I also missed the way he would ask me to bring my food and eat in his presence just so he could be sure that I had eaten well. 😭😭😭
Three years after his death, I gave birth to my first son, who looks so much like him. He walks like him carries his stature, and many of his features. Sometimes when I look at my son, it feels like a part of my father in-law is still here with us.
I missed him so much, the love and care he showed me will remain unforgettable.
