While They Are Here
The day I cried......!
I was shaken as I held my mother in my arms into a recovery position...
I realized how much I love and care for her and how much I want her to always be fine and here to enjoy the fruits of her labor...I do not want to lose her..not now and if possible, not ever!🤦
I have been nursing her since Saturday when she took ill... currently undergoing treatment and getting better...but;
For no reason but exhaustion and drowsiness from the bulk of drugs she was currently being treated with; she slumped...more like fell backwards and the thud scared the life off me as I ran to where she was..scared, shocked and crying while I held her up, examining her to be sure she hadn't hit her head or injured herself...
She on the other hand was totally unaware of what had happened...she questioned and looked at me like I was the one that was acting off😅. She claimed to be alright, and just sitting there..haaa!
It was later, she came to...🤦
okay!
I am just glad that my lovely mother is okay and currently recuperating from the fever and cough that had plagued her these past days..
💌This post is not to gain sympathy....naaa!
Just a reminder for us
👉🏾To not hold back our love.....
👉🏾To make sure to care for, and be there for the ones we claim we love.
👉🏾To always create time out of our busy lives for our loved ones and,
👉🏾To not ever neglect our parents most especially the aged ones..they will not always be here.
It's useless to cry or hold big burial ceremonies as it's common in Africa; but for a parent you didn't care for while they were here.
Love and care for them now... don't save it for later.
