A great loss

-

"Dad, why did you leave so soon? I should have told you I love you just one more time." that was the only words Jane could mutter crying profusely.

Jane had wanted to spoil her dad with so many gifts and affection, she just graduated from the university and managed to get a job, when Gracie her cousin sent her the most shocking news ever.

The only man she had ever loved was involved in a ghastly accident on his way back from the states and couldn't get out alive!

The candle was all set as it was his funeral that fateful evening, she was seen in a dark dress and dark eye shades, she read the eulogy and managed to blow the candlelight out as a sign of tribute to her father, the man she has ever loved.

'He would surely be remembered for being an amazing father, uncle, and friend", Gracie said to her looking right into her eyes afterward she hugged Jane.

Jane's heart bled, she should have been there for him in the last moments of his life, and she felt guilty for not finding a way to save him.

Thankfully, her dad left a beautiful flower and card on her bed before traveling like he knew it was going to be his last.

The words in the card comforted her so much and so she found solace in knowing, she meant the world to him even if he was no more.

To forget about the ugly incident, she relocated to another town where she wanted to live a quiet life, she vowed to be there for anyone who needs her support and love.

But those memories never really left, there are still so many things to remind her of her dad, Jane missed her dad so terribly that at times, she just shut everyone out to have a time alone.
Let's say pain changes people.

Do we get over the loss of our loved ones? I think we just learn to live with grief.

The loss of a loved one is a scar, the pain might heal but it never fades away.

A Beautiful Heritage

Pinterest The waist beads are known as "Mgbájí" in the centralized Igbo dialect while another part of the Igbo calls it various names like "Ukwueleke", "Akaraukwu" or "Jigida" This is my beautiful and prominent heritage because I hail from a part of the Igbo land. "Imo state" to be precise. That waist bead is a very beautiful and essential ornament that is made of cowries or very expensive beads using a fishing line or a string to join them together. It is usually worn to beautify a woman's waist, which makes her attractive to the opposite sex and looks more feminine. The waist beads denote royalty, femininity, and fertility in my tribe. My mom told me how this waist bead is an essential part of our culture and a maiden attire on the day of her traditional marriage, known as"Igba Nkwu". No bride ever joked with this waist bead as her attire is never complete without the waist beads. Any man who seeks her hands for marriage...

It was on the 28th of October, 2022 at exactly 12:30 am, Debbie woke up that midnight feeling unhappy.  Source It was her 28th birthday, and unlike other birthdays this one was different, she felt like a loser simply because she felt she wasn't doing enough and today is another reminder that she was getting older, most of her mates were married with kids, and others work in a very big firm and living the lives of their dreams. The Birthday depression is knocking at her door. Debbie couldn't help but lay low in her bed to cry her eyes out, immediately her phone buzzed, it was a message from Jane her friend. "Hey Debbie, I've been trying to reach you since, how are you doing? Michael has proposed, babe we have a wedding to plan, please beep me as soon as you see this." She stared at the message for about 2 minutes, with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Wow, congrats", she managed to reply, she immediately turn off her phone and began to question her God, ...

Source I see "toxicity" in this picture. Have you ever come across Amanita Muscaria which is a toxic mushroom? Toxicity is detrimental to our health. This article is not about Amanita Muscaria, but as you read further you'd understand the need for the comparison. According to the  oxford language dictionary , toxicity means the quality of being very harmful or unpleasant in a pervasive or insidious way. Are humans toxic? Yes!
