BE MORE INTENSIONAL ABOUT LIFE

 Last year was one year I can't forget in a bit ,indeed as sad as I write,it's a year I wish never came by, painful I lost my mum and the world meant nothing to me .


If anyone would tell me that come September 19th 2025 that my mum would be no more from the first day in January, I would say it's a joke or do all in my bit to work against it.


Seeing her wallon in pains and I couldn't help even when I went go stay with her for some months,I recalled the day I was leaving back to base ,I couldn't sleep and so was she too and when it was finally time to let go ,it was the hardest time of our lives as that was the last time I set my eyes on her , though she died a few months after but my life never remained the same.


Some few days before her death we spoke on phone and she asked that we take her back to Lagos and even spoke to her very well, she sounded so much alive in words but her body was weak to stand another week, I personally recorded that conversation like I knew it was my last call hearing her voice.


The day she finally died,we were all at her death bed virtually speaking to her but she couldn't talk to us ,she was hearing but couldn't speak,we only heard how she was breathing and taking her last moments with her family.


I wished I did more,I wished I could change the things I could and went the extra mile but many a time  people who came to console us told us to mourn knowing that she is in a better place and that it's better she rests than being in such pain .


Life comes in phases and everyone has a turn to take no matter the timing and the season,it must come,my mother took her own time and season and answered the call,I couldn't stop it no matter how close we were but one thing was certain she lived a live worthy of emulation and very impactful.


Now ,am living with memories of her and I cherish each word, each thought and what she stands for and never will I forgo what she believes in because that is what shaped me to who I am today.


I pray I find the courage to share how she died and what truly transpired, may God rest her soul and grant her life eternal.


Rest in God's Mercy Irene oyinyechi Oparah,my sweet mother in whom I well pleased, love you mummy.
