Hello peculiar Hivers of #Ladiesofhive. It's been a while I posted here. As such, I'm glad that I could still make it to sharing my memory in this week's topic:
Descriptive best day in your life so far — childhood, holiday, wedding, children, any day you feel made you the happiest.
•A specific time when you found something profoundly affected your way of thinking, changed you, or simply made you happy.
Well, I've had so many best days as far as I can remember but there's always a best of best. That's what I intend to share with you ☺️.
I am a second daughter and fourth child in the family of five. My parents are alive and supportive but the heavy load is on mum. By this I mean, she bears all the responsibilities, most especially anything that has to do with my education and that of my siblings. Mind you- I'm not trying to spite my dad, but I'm telling the truth as it is.
For what's worth, I know it's not my dad's wish for things to be the way it is but it's already late to make it happen otherwise.
Inspite of all this, my dad still stands as my mum's emotional support. I know it and I see it. In as much as mum is the one doing the most. She some how gets the strength from my dad just being there. Also, I have never seen my mum disrespecting my dad regardless of the fact that she fends for the family and that's one of the things I've actually learned from her -- love endures.
It might seem like I kind of derailed from the topic but no-- this is the foundation of everything I'll have to say.
Now, I happened to be in my final year, after I wrote my final exams in the higher institution, when I got terribly ill. Yes! I mean terribly. It was that bad because I had to be administered in the hospital for the first time in my life. Staying in the hospital bed to hear others preparing for convocation 🎓 made me soak my pillow everyday with tears 😭.
My mum was so scared 😳 because she has never seen me in such state of health before. I was more scared for her because she did not deserve to go through such stress. I was diagnosed of intense typhoid. That was the first day I believed that typhoid could kill.
I'd feel like there's an earthquake in my head at the sound of anything.
At some point I had to support my head with wrapper by tying it under my chin and knotting it over my head, because my head became too heavy for my neck.
My family was in fear because it took time before I could respond to treatment. I had to stay in the hospital for more than a week. After that, I was discharged but given a home nurse, who would always come to check on me.
All this well, our convocation had been fixed but I had to zero my mind on the possibility of attending and focus on getting back to my feet.
I mean with how I felt I could not have thought that I'll be able to be back to my normal state in one week time which amounted to the slated date of our convocation.
Amidst all of this, I whispered to God once in a blue moon. The pain of starting a course and not completing it with those you started with was a pain on its own.
God did answer my prayer I must say. I do not know how it happened but I got back earlier to my feet than I expected -- obviously not the way God intended.
I must say miracle do happen because till now I can't relate the story of how the earthquake in my head suddenly disappeared 2 days to our convocation. I was glad to have been alright but it was late to obtain a gown.
What I did not know was that before this time, my mum had already gotten my gown without my knowledge -- cheers to a woman of faith and deed. When she showed the gown to me on the morning of our convocation day, I was so glad 😊. It's like she was telling me nothing can stop your joy
Yes! That's how it was. That moment changed my way of thinking 🤔. It made me understand that there's nothing impossible with God. We just need to have faith, even if it is as small as a mustard seed.
This are the pictures I took that day. My mouth twitches with a glimpse of smile every time I get to look at them.
Thanks for having me 😊
All the pictures here were taken by me
