LEAVE BUT DONT GO

-

 


Recently, I was out with my mum and all the time we had a chat she was always making reference to my being away.


When she realised I would be away for some time she becomes home sick and a bit weary.


Below is a conversation between my mum & I


Mum...when are you coming back? 


Me... Haba mummy, I haven't even gone. 


Mum.. I just want to know when you would be coming back that's all. 


Me... I will call to inform you. 


Mum... Please just be this and that, she buttressed. 


Me... Mummy, what is that? Don't you want me to go or what.?


Mum.. No, I  have never said so, just that..


Me.. Am waiting spell it out.


Mum.. I know you will be fine and all that but just can't wait for you to return. 


Me.. Wait oooo mummy, is it that if I marry now, you would still behave like am a baby ehen. 


Mum.. No matter how big you have become, you are still my baby. 


Me.. Mummy, am not a baby o


Mum... You are not, but am going to miss you. 


Me.. Me too, I will but please stop being too emotional, so if I marry tomorrow, you will just relocate ehen. 


Mum.. 😂 😂 😂 🤣 🤣 She started laughing so hard, no I will not o, I have my husband to take care of. 


Mum.. I was just going to miss you.


Me.. I smiled


Recently, heard from a friend whose sister got married, meanwhile the bride's parent were in the east and the bride and groom resides in Lagos.


It happened that the bride price was paid in the east with the consent of the couple, while the couple in Lagos went ahead for their court wedding.


Meanwhile, after the court wedding the bride's mother called her daugther and told her not to leave their house untill she and the bride's father returned to Lagos.


She told her daugther this because she wanted to be the one to help her pack her belongings and officially send her to her husband's place.


When I asked my friend why the mum acted as such, she told me, she felt that the mum was just too emotional about the fact that her little baby of yesterday is now a woman and would be living under the roof of a man, who isn't her father but her husband.


She narrated how, they explained to the mum that the young lady is dully and fully married, traditionally and binded by law too, while she wants to be in her husband's house and prepare for the church wedding, the mum came back to Lagos on time to fulfil her heart desires of packing and sending her daugther to her new home.


Okies, back to me, mummy would call me a million times to check on me, gist me on virtually all that happened around her and ask to know if I have eaten or not.


Even when she knows you are very fine and doing well, she is always ready to give in her all to protect her baby girl.


I am not a mummy's girl o, but you can't break the bond that exists between us, untill the world ends and restarts, I love you mum.

It's the right of a man to find the woman and it's the right of the woman to chose the man and that is why when a man finds a woman he asks for her hand in marriage and if she chose him amongst all others she can easily say yes having considering why he is different with the right values to stick to him for life.  To the woman : *Do you know this man.  *Is he someone you can submit to.  *What are the values that makes you stick to him.  *What are his visions and mission in life. . *Dose he have the capacity and sustainability to keep and take care of you and a family.  *Is he a man of integrity and a man of respect, who projects peace and can protect you.  *Does he submit to higher authority and godly authority. *Does he have mentors who supports his vision in life To the man: *Do you know this woman.  *Is she someone you can love.  *Does she project the image of your future.  *Is she someone you can be proud of to present any time.  *Is she submissive to your person.  *Do you

Just almost when i got to the food stuff sellers shop, she also arrived, carrying Agege bread on her head, looking so hagged and hungry. How much is this rice, it looks so fine, the food seller replied her, its 400 per derica, while I was waiting to be attended to, she continued give me one derica, I don't eat rice with stones, I won't be able to eat it, she told the food seller, she buttressed again,  I can't eat rubbish because I don't have money, I left with my items while I pondered on the scene that just played out, the bread seller looks so unkept, probably from the hawking and again very hungry, even though she might not be able to afford the perfect life, but she deserves to eat the best, even if thats not what life has given to her. Many a time, we feel we are better than others because we are in a good position, we feel they don't deserve to get the best things in life, we feel they can't pass the road we have crossed, we feel they don't and can

If you understand that life comes in phases, you wont be bothered by what happens around you so keenly So many things are enough to make you feel less a person, when you allow them take hold of you. There are catalyst who propels you to go out of your way to see that things are done or better still satisfy people and contents, yet we also have pressures who forces you to do things out of your will power to satisfy personal self or a greedy community. Be intensional about everything you do, don't allow sentiments of any sort becloud your thoughts. Be accountable for your actions, take responsibilities for them and make sure you avoid every form of explanation to anyone, they are absolutely distractions. Never apologise for your feelings because you were intensional about it, rather make feasible ammends in the situation where you hurt any one. Always remember that life comes with various choices, many will intimidate us, yet a few will give us opportunities to be better of, yet its
