Tribute to my big mummy

Ah! Life is not fair, honestly. It’s just not fair. It’s just clicking, it’s just sinking, it’s just dawning on me that you’re actually gone. Damn! I honestly can’t remember the last time I cried this much. Where do I start from? You’re simply the best, You can’t be replaced. If I start writing all the ways you’ve impacted my life, I will not finish writing this tribute. I remember when my mum, my aunties, my siblings, my cousins and I all went to Abuja, you took us all in as your children and that was one of the best holidays I had, you took us to an amusement park and taught us he song “ We are going to wonderland, we are going to wonderland, wonderland, wonderland, wonderland, wonderland, we are going to wonderland” Lmaooo. I remember how you were actively helping me looking for work opportunities all the way from Nigeria, you’re the most selfless person I know, putting others first always, so I’m not going to see your smile again? I’m not going to see you dance? I’m not going to hear you call “Tomee” again??? Damn!

And here come the tears again, I still remember how you’d help me buy provisions for school anytime my dad isn’t around. If there’s one thing I regret and for which I won’t be able to forgive myself, it is not speaking to you this year. I kept on postponing it and I will forever regret not calling you, my heart is heavy, my eyes are teary, my body is weak, even at difficult times you kept on checking up on every one of us

Still even sent me money when I was in school

What a selfless woman you were, your legacy lives on and you will forever be in our hearts, I love you and I miss you my big mummy
