Its a throwback
I remembered when I was told I may never be a Mother. And I kept it a secret for many months. It was as a result of what went through between me and that doctor(a story,I just decided not to tell because the bile taste ,refused to go away)

I later told my mum. I knew deep down,she was broken but she couldn't say it . After 10 Years of Childlessness,she had me and my 4brothers and to be told ,her only daughter might not be able to conceived ever. This was in 2002 before my final exams in the

university. Fast forward to 2003/04 during my service in Niger state. I was alone in my room ,a song was playing ,I remembered it was A song to Mama by Boyz to men,and I started crying. I remember what the doctor told me ,the day I was told I had

Hbp. Sorry my dear(the second reason I hated that word). I remembered I stood up,and touched the wall with my 2 hands and said in all honesty , God,I have decided that I want to get married,and I will have 5 kids,a boy and 4 girls . I was some weeks off

before,I got that test ,that was positive ,and in less than 8years,God granted my wishes. Now,what I am trying to relate here is the Power of Prayers. I knew I have lived with guilt,pains, anxiety, for more than 30 decades and counting but one thing I have

Learnt over the past years,God answers prayers. He knows when to show up. You see the prayers of Mothers,it is more powerful than any other. Don't get me wrong .I am not saying your prayers can never work but When a Mother or would be Mothers starts to say a

Prayer,The earth shakes. Look at our Mother Mary,Look at Saint Monica(Mother of Saint Augustine),Whom we remembered today ,and other powerful women. You would agree with me. Mothers doesn't stop thinking ,they can't just stop thinking. See when we were adults

they never stop carrying us in their hearts. Why would you neglect your mum now she needed you to pray for her just like she did back then. So many sacrifices made . I remembered telling my cartel,that I have made many sacrifices to keep those smiles on

Their faces and they never forget and I pray it will be like that all through our lives. As long as we live.
Never forget the prayers of your mum. Honour all Mothers today. Say a prayer,send them gifts,love them,be with them. We totally deserved that
