Hello everyone! How are you doing? I hope you enjoy your the new year celebrations. As tradition demands, Christmas and new year is the time where people decided to go home and spend quality time with their families, they shared beautiful experiences they had over time, a lot of people has already travelled home, the city almost remained empty, I didn't feel like travelling during this period but my parents and siblings couldn't let me to rest so I had to think of going to meet them. It's always fun whenever we're all together, bond, love and happiness is what kept ringing in my mind.
My elder brother and sister with their families has arrived the village and everyone was waiting for my arrival on the Christmas but I turned them down because I couldn't make it that day. My mum kept calling until she became sick there I knew that it was serious and necessary, I started packing in my things on Friday then arrived the village in the night but to my greatest surprise, my mom that was sick was the first person to took my things off the bus I boarded. "But Mum you were sick!" "Yeah! I'm okay when I had your voice" I couldn't make laugh 😜
I was served my favorite local meal which I ate to my satisfaction but something that burned the food in my tommy happen when my mom asked me, "Ini-obong, when are you getting married?" I was shocked because I didn't expect such question since I'm just done with my university education few months ago. To me, the next thing after first degree is to get a well paid job, spent time and money my parents especially my mum before thinking of getting married, I think mum is too fast to think of such a delegate assignment 😂
"But Mum! Are you serious with what you just said? Guys I can see all amount of seriousness in mum's face but I'm not ready neither ever think of that, so what should I do now? She laughed out loud at me and said, "gave birth to you when I was 21 years old but here you are not even thinking about marriage " "I'm not forcing you to get married but I want to start thinking about raising your own family at early stage of your life. Think of growing with your children and making your wife to be a part of your success story rather than having everything and bringing her in, only to make her feels like a slave in her marriage"
The last advice sunk into my brain which makes me to think otherwise, "but mum I don't have any woman in my mind, and I'm not financially stable, how would this be possible?" She said, "Marriage is not about money but having the right knowledge. Start planning, have budget for it and you will execute it in no time" WOW! 😲 Thank you Mum, i couldn't enjoy the rest of the gists when my siblings and their families later joined us, I was and I'm still thinking of my mum's word to me.
