I was called to come to Accident and Emergency unit to check the Blood Glucose (Sugar) of a patient. I entered there and got really weak on sighting the patient. An old woman that looks 95, looking so thin and pale, she can neither stand nor sit, she kept crying, every part of her body hurts. Just when I was about to puncture her thumb, news came that she's been transferred to a federal medical centre, they carried her like a year old child and left.
She's a diabetic patient, no one cared for her, the last daughter took her and opted for herbal medicine. When she got worse, she was brought home, they stopped the herbal medicine, started with her old drugs again after 6months, not knowing these drugs have expired. They now brought her to the hospital after 5months when she collapsed twice, couldn't work or sit. The daughter said she has done so much for them, they don't wanna lose her, Such Blasphemy!!! I felt like attacking her. Damn!!!!
That was a woman at 72 looked 95. Suffered to the extent that hospitals kept referring her to bigger hospitals. It was like, she was brought to die in a hospital so her funeral poster and oration will look good. Sadly, some youths do similar things to their mothers and grand mothers.
Last week, everyone celebrated their mothers, some posted pictures with their mum, quite awesome. How many of us have mothers who their lives reflect the happiness in these pictures? Some will only celebrate them and snap pictures on mother's day, some don't even call week to week, some are not even bothered when they complain about their health, if you lose that woman, you'll regret why you never cared.
Have you being to a mother's burial?? Some people you see that cry so much are not just heartbroken cos she died, they're crying out of regret, things they should've done for mummy, things they could actually afford to do for her. As troublesome as some of them may be, they are irreplaceable. You don't ignore and disregard your mum and start forming shit when you're losing her, you're not Mad!!
May you never have children and grandchildren that would abandon you, May your mothers never cry because of you, May the Universe protect our Mothers from evil, may it grant rest to our departed Mothers, May it give us the will to live the good legacies of our mothers. Living or Gone, they're absolute Magnificent.
