Hmm.....How heavy and sadly my heart is today be two years I lost my dear mother.Good Mother is a gift from God and great treasure to the life of children and family.The place of mothers in a family cannot be overlooked.Once again mothers are treasure gifts to a family.Mothers are gold to be cherished.
What a bitterness day was November 1,2019 to me?My mother was so much sick right from year 2016.We tried to do a lot of things to keep her alive.We prayed so much for her and also involved medical treatments. It was in the evening that the incident of her departure from the earth happened,It was the time when I was observing my Siwes program as a part 3 Student in one higher institution in Nigeria.I didn't know that that day would be the last day I would see her.
I went to the place where I was observing my Siwes program and coming back home in the afternoon towards the evening time,I saw her sleeping,I greeted her,but she didn't respond very well,but I left her,just not to disturb her. After eating,I went to the place where I was teaching in one particular home. Returning home in the evening to have some rest from the day work,I met the rest of my family holding her. Hmm...That day was a day I can't never forget in my life.
All our efforts to revive her was in vain. We tried to take her to the hospital,I was at her back, holding her, rushing to the hospital,but on getting there the Doctor tried to examine her,but he said to us that she has gone.I didn't believe it,after few time her body began to cold,her teeth were stiffed no together.Her eyes were white,the pupil in her eyes could no where be found again. Even right now I feel like crying.
That incident is coming again to me a fresh. I operated Faith, telling my Dad to let us take her back home and see what God would do,but he didn't listen to me.He arranged to collect the Mortuary card,we took her to the place and the attendant there attended to us.It was already late in the night.We didn't take her to the mortuary immediately after confirming that she was dead,hoping that she might come back to life.The person in mortuary told us to remove her clothes,I was weeping,I didn't want her to stay there. I remembered a scripture that says"We come to the world with nothing and we are leaving with nothing".That scripture ministered seriously to me on that day and I understood the verse very well. My dear readers, there is nothing in this world.I saw a lot of dead souls,I was shocked. The place was smelling badly,I couldn't wait to stand those things I was seeing there on that day. After arranging her to the place(mortuary) we left for home with the BITTERNESS OF HEART. I was expecting her to come back and to say hello to us,but I didn't see her😢😢😢.My family was in a serious bitterness and everyone who heard of her departure were amazing and sorrow in their eyes and hearts
Getting home from mortuary on that day,I couldn't eat,even it was difficult for me to eat meat because of the flesh of men I saw in that place stinking.
My dear readers,I cannot put everything down about the bitterness of mind I really experienced.After the coming of her own family and others we went to the mortuary to carry her corpse after some days and we went to buried her. That was the last day I finally saw my dear mother. I always remember her when I am in a need which I know that she can provide for that needs.
How lovely Mom I had once had. This incident was a BITTERNESS OF THE HEART.
Conclusion:- Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter,life is short,fear the Lord and serve Him. The Lord keeps us and give everyone long life.
