Good evening to you all
So happy to be among the participants of this week's contest
*Do you have a real-life hero? If so, who would that be and why?"
A hero is someone who has done an extraordinary thing. Someone who is brave, good and are admired for their courage and outstanding achievement. A hero is a single tree which can make a forest. All these qualities are found in my mother, my hero.
The above picture is my mother, a woman with a golden heart, tall, slim and beautiful. The best wife to my Dad and best mom to her children. Married at a very early age because of the death of her parents. Came to my father's family where she was not welcomed. Yet she stayed, fought for her right and that of her children unborn and today, her braveness and courage has given my siblings and I a sense of belonging..
She is called an illiterate yet raised seven graduates, out of which are four Bsc holders, two msc and one Phd. My mum didn't pass through the formal education because of being an orphan but she is very intelligent. I can remember when I was in primary three, my mum taught me how to solve percentage. Yet they called her illiterate. MY dad was always out, so my mum does the assignment from school for both my siblings and I. She never joked with education. I can also remember her telling me, " my daughter, please be serious with your studies, I didn't have opportunity but you do, please utilize it well". A woman that deprived herself of good things just to see us succeed. My aunt once said to my mom, get yourself expensive wrappers such as hollandaise, English wax and George and my hero responded, no, I m training my children. They will get all these when they grow up. Today, she has made us great men and women.
This woman made my dad what he is today. With my dad's kind of behavior, he would have be gone and long forgotten, if not for the wisdom of my mom in handling issues and supporting him. A good friend to my dad in times of need. She is always by his side even when the storm is much. So courageous in her advice to dad. Tried many businesses in order to support her husband. Had a fatal accident that almost cost her life, just to support her husband. She did all these things just to achieve her dreams.
The best mom to her children. The love and care she has shown to us can not be compared. Sometimes, I wonder, why does she care so much, why so much love and protection. Probably, because she didn't see her own mom or she didn't experience love from her parents. She can't bear to see any of us suffer. I'm now an adult, still she worries over me. Even when I try to hide my feelings from her yet she knows when am down with worries. A woman who taught me to do good. Always respecting my decisions and showing me the consequences of it.
When I got married, I thought I won't be remembered by her anymore. To my greatest amazement, She calls every day to put me in order. After marriage, She taught me how to be a strong woman and what married life is all about. I really thank God for such a caring and strong mother I believe that no one could have been the best mother to my siblings and I other than her. Also no one can be the best wife to my dad other than her. Today, I can face any challenges and still remain strong and calm. All because of her. She is indeed my hero.
