Thanks for asking those lovely questions. It shows how much you care. Well, the experience was a terrible one. It happened in the year 2008. Hmmm, very bad. Anyway, read my story below.
The year mentioned above brought tears and agony to my soul and spirit. Devastation was "my mother" while anxiety became "my father" causing me to have an elder brother known as "boredom"
At the mid of the year 2008, my Dad felt so sick and was admitted into various hospitals. But prior to his ailment, Mom for years have been on sick bed. From one ailment to another and dad was always there for her.
Looking back at the scene, it was as if mum will soon kick off the bucket. But God kept on sustaining her life. But, unfortunately, Dad fell sick, his case became worse and worst. I stopped schooling in order to care for him.
Imagine waking up in the morning as a student and realize that school is not for me now. More to that, beside me is my sick father lying helplessly and same time, i flashed back home, the only thing that flashed into your memory is the condition of my sick mother. Ohh, I felt bored. There was no one to play with and even if there is, the appetite is not there. No individual to share my feelings with.
The issue hindered me from taking my WAEC(secondary school final exam)at the appropriate time. Worse yet, in all my endeavors, Dad, kicked off the bucket on the 14th day of May 2008. What a black Wednesday!!!
As Dad has died, what about mom? what's her fate? will she make it? how will I even cope with the death of my father? I asked myself lots of questions.
The truth is that am the lastborn of the family and the only one at home. Dad is dead, I missed my exams and yet, mother is seriously sick. Feelings of boredom rised and increased to 100%. The only thing I know how to do best then was to "cry".
Feelings of boredom is natural especially in the face of disaster, be it illhealth, loss of job, loss of expectations or even death of a loved one. But, from my experience, I have learn to hold and control myself and feelings because, what gonna be, gonna be, and nothing you can do to change it.
Right now, the good news is that mom is still alive as am writing this post. God helped her to overcome the ailment and gradually, the bored feeling disappeared into thin air. Though the experience turned my life upsidedown, yet, am reversing it. It's just a matter of time, I'll gonna bounce back to my foot.
Thanks for reading my article base on true life story.
