Sometimes, you never realize how wonderful and faithful God is to you. Even though, there are challenges ahead you but that hope "Am alive" can not be over emphasized or underrated. Until I stumbled on Today's contest in the Hive Learners community asking us to write about something that we've done in the last 24 hours.
In d early hour of yesterday, a call of my friend came in telling me how his dear wife left him and the newborn to a world of no return😭 Death, they say is inevitable! I cried like never before😭😭 so hurtful and so many questions ran through my head as to why and how did it happen?
Myself going to see my friend
She happens to be in labour since Friday night, that was about 4days before the incident happened,the doctors kept on giving her time to deliver on her own but forgetting she wasn't supposed to pass through that stress because the baby she had before was through Caesarian section (C-section) but they ignored that fact.

After so much effort of delaying,they finally agreed to C-section and the operation was successful, the baby was doing fine and the mother but all of a sudden, the story changed to receiving pants of blood and at the same time oxygen was placed on her.
She took 5pants of blood before she finally gave up. My friend's wife could not make it back home alive. She left her new born, the firstborn and the husband to continue the struggles of life while she left to rest in the Bossom of the Lord😭😭
On getting there to see my friend was horrible,hurtful,pathetic for me. Have you seen a strong man rolling on the floor crying? The case of my male friend was/is sympathetic. I couldn't hold my tears till now because I kept on imagining how bringing forth a child can take another life in return😭 Why did it have to happen this way? Why bringing forth a child should turn this way? Why should a woman pay with her life for bringing another life into this world? Why?why? Why?

We did the burial not quite long today. Finally, she has been laid to rest from all the worries of this world. A rare gem is gone!
As many people were trying to hold my friend from inflicting injury on himself, We could not hold our tears😭 from dropping each minute.

As I carried the new born baby, I thought about how God can be unquestionable attimes, how will this little girl survive without a mother? So painful!
I used the whole of my 24hours to mourn with my friend for the loss of his wife. May her soul continue to rest in the Bossom of the Lord 🙏
If you are alive and healthy, you don't know what God has done for you. Be thankful!
But, we should always remember, Death is inevitable.
May we live to the rightful old age🙏
This tragedy taught me how to be thankful for the daily breathe I get to breathe always.
Thank you for this weekly contest and thanks for stopping by.
