The mother that cares

Greetings!

A very thank you to my mum who brought us up with good manners and show us the way we should go. Though, it's so rough and tough for her to cater and care for us most especially while we were younger, but one thing I would not forget about her was her love for us her children. Though she's no more, but her legacy lives on.

To talk about her means to talk about a virtuos woman, who would do everything within her ambit to see and attend to her children's need without given excuses or being deterred by anything. I could remember one of her so many influences and contributions to my life. Then, I was on the verge of dropping out of the university and this was because of our financial incapacity back then. So, as a result of this, my mum was not happy and she was depressed and frustrated. So many people were even given her series of advice to withdraw me from the school, but she would not listen to them, not only that, some, having seen her determination towards making us her children great, advised her to go immoral for our sake by her having affair with men,but my mum would always turned a deaf hear to all these impasses. I even overheard one of her friend saying, "we have advised her to toll our path, but she used to claim to be morally upright, that's her own cup.of tea ooo."

So, instead of her to be distracted by all the pieces of advice given to her, my mum was so resilient to going the right path of honour to making us great, so, she instead, apply for a cleaner job in one of the schools in our neighborhood and right from her salary, she was able to settle the bill before her, including my own school fee and that's how I was able to finish my academic pursuit with good grade in the university.

Not only that, maybe because of her high moral standard, which she's overtime set for herself,the same thing can be seen in us her children, despite her unalloyed love and support for us, my mum being a disciplined mother would not in any way tolerate nonsense from us. No wonder she would always come against me and correct me in love whenever there's a moral breach in anything I do, there was once a time I had disagreement that resulted into raising of voice with a friend of mine, so, when this got to my mum notice, she's angry with me and come against every form of my acts that day, she said If i should continue in that way, i may not be able to reach my goal as I will only be constituting nuisance on the street, she asked me to desist from such act, though I have my side of the story to tell, but she would not listen nor take side with me on such issue. She asked me.to go and apologize to that friend of mine which at first, I was not willing to go, but later, i took off my ego and I went straight to him and apologized.

So, the impact of my mum on the journey of my life cannot be overemphasized and to be candid, she's really helped me to become whom I am today, without her love and guidance, maybe I would have been something else, but I thank God I have her as a mother. She's indeed a mother to behold. I love you mum.

Thanks for reading.
