To lose a child is to lose a piece of yourself.
~Dr Burton Grebin
I was thinking I had a strong heart and mind when someone passes away but yesterday Friday 24th March, 2023 made me know that death of someone who love can break every piece of you leaving a big vacuum not knowing when it could be filled again.
In the month of December 2022 was the first time Bethel visited us in the village and so sad yesterday, my younger brother called that Bethel is no more.
In response to weekend-engagement contest, for week 146
WHAT I NEED TO HEAR.
Honestly, if there be something I need to hear at this moment is that little Bethel is really not dead rather he was sleeping and now he's awake.
I have never felt so frustrated and sad in life as I felt yesterday when the sad news came from my younger brother when he called to tell me that his son is no more.
Bethel one year birthday.
As at yesterday Friday around 4pm the boy was very active and was playing with his friends and around 6:30 pm, the little boy turned yellow according to what the mother narrated and while going to the hospital, the child passed away.
Family history.
Our family is not known for infant death. Hearing this was like the worse news in the history of our family. The father and mother can't hold the pain and it looked like it's a fairytale and obviously the best thing we would want to hear now is the baby is back to life.
All hopes of seeing Bethel again is now gone and he had been laid to rest in a cemetery in the city where they live.
