Hi family, it's been a while here. I remember I told you about my father's demise and you could probably notice I have not been active on this platform since then. The truth is that his place has been left void in my heart and the pain couldn't just go away as I thought. I cried whenever I remembered him and it has been roller coaster of emotions.
After my wedding, my father had been so anticipated to see my babies and pampered them the best way. About few days to his demise, we spoke on phone and he assured me that I would get a better job. He told me he had been praying and fasting for me. He also told my husband and I not to delay conception and child bearing because of the economy situation. He assured me that everything would be fine in no time. His words just used to provide the needed succour at every point in time.
Oh, my father was a lover of children and could do anything in his capacity to make us happy and feel protected. How I wish my children met him and saw how kind of a person he was. He even called my father-in-law days to his departure, he told him to always watch over us and guide us. We never knew papa was already going. My father was not part of the parents that would insist their daughter must bring in the richest man to marry. He believed in the word 'process', which made me feel at easy when I wanted to get married. He made things so easy and encouraged my husband and I, a lot. He believed so much in our future that we had no reason to doubt ourselves.
How I wish he was alive to see the greatness he saw from afar." If wishes were horses, they say, beggars will ride". We are only humans, we could only wish for the best. We don't know what tomorrow holds. If I had known he would go that early, I guess I would have cared better for him than I did. Even if it took engaging in hard labour to just give him the best care in the world. But I never knew it would end like this.
It's more 40 days now and the pain still feel fresh, I couldn't write nor post but I know I need to be strong. If not for anyone but for my mother. So, I now call her everytime to see to her welfare and console her where need be. Even though death is inevitable, the death of a loved one can be so heartbreaking and wrenching but we are believing God to grant us fortitude to bear the loss and console the family and friends left behind.
So, I look forward to bouncing back to my real self. I believe I will come out stronger and overcome every difficulty and painof the moment in Jesus name. This is also to show concern for those that have lost any of their loved ones. God sees you and He will console you and show you help from above in Jesus name. I pray for the rest of the people here who still have their parents, you will not lose them untimely in Jesus name. They will live long to eat the fruit of their labour as the Lord liveth. Amen.
Thanks for reading.
