My mum have been both a Mother and a Father to I and my siblings since we lost our Father years ago, it was not an easy journey for a house wife who was managing a small shop to pass time, to take up the responsibility of her late husband business and also cater for seven children. It was not a joyful experience but she was able to do it that's why she is forever my mentor.
Thanks to 
She likes dressing up and looking good but she is not the type that crave after fashion, I took after her in many ways, in looks, and in character but I didn't take her height, I wonder why😪. When we were little and till now she tells us story on how they lived before and after the war and also moon light stories which were very interesting,she also taught us some songs that were sang then. Every minute with her was a memorable time, right till this time, I'm her gossip partner. The only thing distracting me now from our daily gossip is my search for income. She gave me so many advice that even when I was away in school, her words kept me going. These are some of her advice:
Everything you seek is in the bible
Today's new is tomorrow's old, meaning that new things certainly gets old and a different one will be available
Be contented with want you have
Beware of men because there are many wolves in sheep clothing
Give to people that are in need
Don't give something to someone that you know you can't accept if the table is turned round
Don't chase after men
Speak up in the midst of your mate
Cleanliness is next to Godliness
Always be at peace with your love once, for family matters a lot
Don't allow your anger to stay till the next day whenever you are upset
Always include vegetables in your diet,for they are good for the body
Don't talk or interfere whenever your elders are discussing unless you are asked to or invited into the discussion
Always learn to forgive even when someone does something wrong to you and be nice to them.
Be humble, not minding if you have everything you ever desire.
Whatever you know you can't do around your family, don't do it outside
Don't keep whatsoever that doesn't belong to you
Mind the friends you keep, don't keep unhealthy friends
These are some of the advice she gave to me, there is always an advice every time she is around. I would love to invite
