Lately I heard that my mum was hurt in her leg, my husband called me about her injury early this afternoon and he immediately run to the pharmacy to buy her medicines, yet the attendant didn't not give him because he did not know him nor there were no prescription he could show, he went to another store and finally purchased some.
This week, I finally told my mum @bibeithefarmer, that I and my husband were not just working hard for our family but also for her, and my husband's parents. We did not just dream for us but also for them, to experience a better, lighter life before their sun sets in life.
My mum is nearing 70 years old and everyday, she goes to the farm, walks at least 5 kilometers just to work on the field and wait for harvest to earn money.
My mum is a very independent woman, she works hard even now in her old age, and refuses to call for help even if he is already having a hard time and I realized that it was not just she having pride but she doesn't want to be rejected.
Mum has had a tough and tough life but she was tougher and fiercer, the bravest woman I've ever known, she fights hard for her family and the most loving woman in the earth.
I always liked up to mum, her hard work and dedication are the things I copied, and brought in life, she had been one of my inspirations in everything I do.
So my mum got hurt, perhaps she was chopping cassava when it happened on the farm, the machete went past what she had been trying to chop and went straight to her feet and hurt herself. I was not able tosee her wound not any picture of them but I really hope she was okay, my husband told me she seems hurt when she walks.
I called her tonight, asked if she was okay, she said she is, it was just a small wound, I know her wound hurts but she had to endure the pain to be able to work, and finish the cassava harvest before my nephew and niece go home. It was her cassava that we harvested in new year's day, and I am even very thankful to my daughter for helping us there.
I even feel sorry I had to leave her at the farm just to go to work but I had to do this, I had to work hard to provide her and my kids a better life.
My heart is still breaking for what happened, she is one of the reasons why I wanted financial freedom so bad, I don't need that much but enough to pay debts my father left and to live a comfortable life.
Perhaps I was just adulting but there is a part I me that wanting to be with her, and helping her in everything, making every second count, making things light for her. I wanted her to do whatever she wanted to do since she is in her old age, I want her to enjoy life which she was not able to do because she was busy working to provide for us. She had undergone to much roughness in life and I want her to be just happy and never think where to get food to eat on the next meal.
There is so much more desires in my heart that wantes to give her a better life, and I hope agd will hear them and grant them in a very unexpected way.
