This is my first post in the hive ninja community. I recently joined this community. I worked on uptrend few years ago and made many Nigerian friends there. I know Nigerians are actually very helpful, loving, and compassionate. I would like to be a part of this community by posting my initially and first post related to the weekly prompt given by hive ninja.
Week 34 Prompt
The year has still pretty much just begun, but there are already some things we wish we could undo, redo or at least witness again. If there's a single day in the past month and a half that you would like to go back to, what day is that and why?
I was miserable for a whole month because of the day that immediately came to me when I saw this prompt; Since January is my birthday month, I knew that January held great significance in my personal life as well as marking the start of the year. This knowledge made me quite joyful as January and the new year approached.
January 23 is my birthday
I was thrilled and ecstatic when I began making plans to do it on my birthday at the beginning of January. As long as you don't get something, you want to get that thing and you are curious. As soon as you acquire something, the curiosity and excitement of that thing fades away from you. I actually did this on my birthday. At the beginning of January I was very happy and excited but as the days went by my excitement and happiness decreased and on my birthday I was completely lost and helpless. On January 22, 2020, a significant incident occurred in my home that nobody had anticipated.
My sister, who was out of the house for her job, had been missing for almost eight hours, and everyone was worried when suddenly my father's phone ringed. When he looked at the phone, my sister's number was showing above. Everyone in the house breathed a sigh of relief. My father picked up the phone and started listening to the call, but his shocked expression shocked the whole house once again.
After the phone call, my father took my brother out of the house. Despite asking mom, they left the house without saying anything because nobody had idea where they were heading. I was alone at home with my mother. My mother was already in a bad mood because her daughter was missing from home for eight hours. The way my father left the house was definitely a warning sign for us.
After I had been taking care of my mother for three hours straight, my father called to tell me that you should also attend to this hospital since we are all there. I was scared after hearing this and I was scared if something happened to my sister, I told this to my mother. So mom without saying anything signaled me to walk.
When we reached the hospital, we breathed a sigh of relief to find that she was okay, she had fainted due to weakness and pressure. All of us in the family were eagerly waiting for the doctor to come out. The doctor came out and gave us another shock. My mother sat holding her head because it was night and it was impossible to do so....
The doctor had told us that my sister is very weak and is in dire need of blood. We had to arrange blood now to save my sister. If you belong to a middle class family then you will surely know our pain. It was impossible for us to arrange blood overnight. Despite continuous efforts and efforts throughout the night, we could not get blood.
23rd January
I know that my birthday is not more important than my sister's but birthday is a day in which every person wants to make it an unforgettable day and I also wanted to do the same but in a positive way, was not in the negative way. My family and I were so worried about my sister that no one remembered my birthday even though I didn't remember my own birthday. Around 11 am we got blood my sister got blood and she stayed in hospital for two days continuously after 23rd January 2020.
I was happy that at last we saved my sister, but as soon as I remembered that today is my birthday, which was very important to me, I became very sad. Seeing my condition, my mother checked my feelings.
She saw the strange expression on my face and told me that your birthday will come off again. Thank God that your sister is safe. I don't blame my sister for wasting my whole day even though I was happy that my sister was ready to go home safe. But there's still no festivity My entire day was squandered, and I felt really depressed because no one in my family had sent me well wishes.
I want to relive my birthday so that I can do everything I planned for my birthday.
