Just like season comes and season goes so do people change over time anyways change is the only constant thing in life the great philosopher said.
On so many occasions I have trusted individuals I thought they would come to my rescue not because I begged them for it but that they gave me the assurance when I was just on my own.
You know the most painful/ annoying thing about promises is when you never ask for a favor and they offer it to you only for them to disappoint at the dieing minute this was my case with Mr Benjamin ( my uncle). Mr Benjamin is that one person amongst my uncles who I so much love and held high in the faces of others. Like when others speak ill about him trust me to be his defendant and these I was doing not because he had promised me anything but that I just love his personality.
Prior to when I was about to graduate from senior high school that day him and my dad spoke at lent on the phone and as usual uncles girl wanted to also say hello so my dad gave me the phone to greet him.
Before ending the call that was how my uncle Benjamin asked me my previous class grade of which I told him and he congratulated me for doing well and then he told me to inform him when I am about to sit for my senior highschool final exam (WAEC) promising he was gonna pay for it, guys you need to see how I held the praises of my uncle high.
When it was time for him to fulfill his promise, do you guys know I called to inform that it's time for the registration and he told me his at work and I should call later and the later that I called he was still busy. The second day I called again and he gave me his word. Two weeks passed no response from him so I had to call back again but I never got any response from him. To cut a long story short my dad was the one who finally paid for my fees. Even though I felt bad I still wanted to believe something was not right that's why he failed.
I wrote my exam and passed well waiting for admission to further but it was delayed. During my stay at home this same uncle apologized and told me not to worry that he was going to make it up to me when I finally got my admission giving me another hope which is making me look up to him for the second time.
Like for every single year he knows I didn't get the admission he would call and reassure me of his promises not until I finally got the admission. After sharing the good news with him, he stopped picking my calls and as a student I indeed need money for different stuff but it is what it is. I stopped looking up to him and kept on living my life forgetting I have an uncle by the side and so because of his faded promises I had to stop looking up to him till date.

Although his manner of approach towards the situation was not okay, we shouldn't blame him too. Maybe something came up. Yes, just Maybe. And he didn't know how to open up to you or your dad
I don't think so cause other of my cousins complained about his empty promises so it's definitely in his nature to promise and still fail.
