IF ONLY THIS PIECE COULD BRING YOU BACK
If I was a given a big box full of treasures and people and I was asked to pick a single thing be it one the treasures or human, I will definitely pick my dad, honestly since the year 2020 that we lost him Life hasn’t really been easy, everyday its just been real life struggles and God coming through for my family and I. Before the week he died, I had been feeling this certain kind of cold breeze, I felt that strange cold for days after my birthday, I thought maybe I was sick of Malaria and fever but that wasn’t the case, it was because something really terrible and unusual wanted to happen.
Exactly one week after birthday, on that fateful night in the year 2020 October 6th, we were all in the sitting room having a nice family time when my brother got a strange call, he got up and went outside to answer the call, he came inside but he wasn’t even comfortable anymore, calls kept coming into his phone, he would go outside just to answer the calls, he couldn’t tell us what was going on, my brothers wife kept asking him what was going on, but he kept snubbing her, then suddenly he bursted into tears, hot tears! then and there I knew something bad had happened, I never seen my brother in such a devastating state before, he couldn’t bear the news so he told us what had gone wrong, immediately my whole word came crashing, and till date my dad left a huge in my heart that no one could ever fill.
He was my first love, I loved him with every fiber in me, he was such a good man, everybody around him could testify of his goodness, he had his funny days and his anger days, he would call me “my second wife” and anytime he was ready to go out my younger sister and I would stand at the door to collect our daily bread from him, Lol.
That man was ready to provide everything for my siblings and I, I remember when he travelled abroad, my sister and I told him to get us clothes and shoes, he said why not, but this man legitly came back with clothes that was way smaller, shoes of small sizes and we couldn’t wear them, I was so vexed and was like why wouldn’t you know our sizes although we told him the sizes to buy.
I believe if he was still alive things would have been alot more different, by now I would have gone for my masters degree and even be done with it, and now that I have a legit skill that pays, I wouldn’t even be struggling to get the equipments that would make things easy for me. And when it comes to my mum, I’m very sure she would still love him to be by her side even if he did her bad at some point before leaving eternally.
