Oh gosh,I hate this thread! U guys are gonna make me cry again afta 4yrs,chai! My mum,d woman who meant the whole world and more to me and my siblings. I wish she wld jus come bak to life. Mum taught us a lot,ave her best. I remembad an incidence back in 2002,I had some health challenges and then I was bleeding profusely,and tried to hid it from her. The woman barged into the toilet (gosh I cnt see again,sight blurry from tears) where I was,grabbed me into her arms,looked me straight in d eyes and said"uduak don't die on me" and rshed me into the hospital dat nite. She ddnt sleep thru d nite. Could I hav ever repaid dat woman? Could I? Then came the time while we used to hawk wares,I told her I saw dis guine fowl egg and wld love to eat it,she said d next day evn if its only one item I sold I shd use d mony to buy it,so dat I won't eat it in the dream. Loool! And then again,we ddnt hav mony to pay my waec fees,dat woman followed me to akerele road and sold her gold chain to dos mallams,now tell me now dat I make beads,wldnt I hav bathed her in diamonds and all d precious gems? But dat stupid sickness called cancer ravaged her b4 takin her away finally! Mummy,we quarrelled,had our fight o,but u were d best!I wish u were here now,I promised u a lot but sadly ur no more,u were d bestest!!! 16 Likes

Mine was the baby of the family, Bayowa Esan. Graduated from FUTA. Died of cancer of the blood (leukaemia) three months after finishing NYSC in 2012, May 2 precisely. He never got to resume a job he got with KPMG. He was on oxygen in UCH ibadan for a day and unfortunately, he didn't make it.He passed away right in front of me. Not an interesting thing to witness, considering that my elder brother and I have to go around to start looking for where to buy a coffin to bury him. He was 24 y.o. 4 Likes |

Really sad thread.... Mine is my maternal grandfather. Died 20th nov 2000.....he was very kind nd loving. I remember he ll come all d way from ekiti to ibadan with food stuffs for us. I remember his beautiful gap toothed smile and deep baritone voice. He died from spiritual attack.....i remember visiting him at the hospital and i reminded him of my bufdae. He promised to get me a gift....alas my gift for 21-11-2000 was the call of grandpa's death on 20-11-2000. It remains my worst bufdae ever! Now i celebrate my bufdae with mixed feelings. Adieu granddad....love u forever! |

My Dad Can't forget his early morning prayer and songs as he prepare for work every day and how I'll knee beside him imitating his praying posture then when he comes back from work. Sad thing was I did not even see him when he died till now I still believe he will still come back. He died year 2000 when I was in pry 6. My mom Her advice and encouragement all those period waec was dealing with me not to give up. The most painful thing was I left her at the hospital to go and freshen up when she left. She was really a blessing to us those 12 years. She died 2012. |

I initially refused to open dis thread cos i knew it will be depressing. My first encounter with death was my grandma. What a strong woman. She lost her husband at 35 and trained her 6kids alone. She wasnt educated but all her kids were graduates. She had stroke for 12yrs. I cleaned her up n bathed her. When i gained admission to UniBen, there was no one to care for her. She deid Aug 24, 2003. My dear dad, died 4 yrs ago. It was d most painful cos he took care of us alone. My mom wa separated from him. I cried cos i never got a chance to repay him for all he had done for my siblings n I. RIP dad ![]() |

...my second day after resuming work my sis called telling me mum was in a coma, next day my uncle showed up telling me mum has gone to be with the lord. I ddnt cry, my priority was to make sure that my dad did not collapse. D whole episode hardened me, I realized tjat only ur immediate family can go d xtra lenght for u. As for memories I remember a time I was the best student in my class and walked up stage to pick the prize, my mum as a member of speech and prize commitee was standing by d table, after I shook d dignitary that presented d prize I turned and saw my mum smilling then she stretched her hand proudly and of course I shook her and everybody who knew she was my mum kept on clapping till I got to my seat. Ive really missed her but have moved on. 1 Like |

My mum. She was my best friend. She told me to always make sure that before my kids board their bus, I should hold their hands and pray for them confessing positivity into their lives. We spoke on the phone like a million times a day. The day she died, I was called by my younger sis at about 8a.m telling me that she was rushed to the hospital @ midnight cos she had an asmathic attack. I called her immediately and she could hardly speak to me. I prayed so hard for her, called my pastor too...but she passed on @ noon. felt my world tearing apart. That day was 16th Dec 2013. She was 61yrs. God bless her soul! |

I was eight and Gaddafi was 2. He was always in the habit of running after my school bus. That day, he was hit by a car. My mum was at the balcony and saw it. She ran barefooted to the place. Gadaffi was still struggling to get up even with spilled guts. Mummy picked him up, stuffed d guts back in and tied his tummy with her scarf. She ran all d way to the veterinary hospital amidst loud wailings and I followed closely behind. The veterinary hospital on obasanjo way at abk. I will never forget that day. They did his surgery and he survived. He had a bowl around his neck for months though. I was told it was so he wouldn't lick the sewn part. He died two years after, armed robbers stabbed him to death. ![]() We teased the living day light out of her back then. She was even called Iya gadaffi for a long time. . ![]() But it was a just a rarely seen situation for my mum to cry openly like that....over an animal. That little devil did save me a few times really. That time when animals are better companions than flipping humans. 7 Likes 1 Share |
