It was really a memory of pains and suffering, it all started when she lost her husband few years back and had to raise her children all by herself, she saw hell on earth, she went through thick and thin to be able to send the kids to school. The whole matter became worst when her first child Rhema was involved in a ghastly motor accident, he had gone to hawk and ended up loosing his legs and many things in the process. It was indeed a situation that left everyone in the family with agony and suffering. Imelda almost lost her sanity during this process. The process of looking for money to eat, became a double struggle, she started looking for money to pay for hospital bills, from hospital bills to money for wheel chair to money for physiotherapy sections. She saw hell on earth.

It only graduated from frying pan to fire when Rhema went into shock. His sisters had to add hawking to their syllables. Imelda taught the Children at home since she could no longer afford to pay their school fee, she used her knowledge as a teacher to train them at home. Using her pupils text book from school.
The only time she had to pay for school fee was when any of them was about to write his or her graduating class exams.
The kids all got used to the custom of eating a square meal per a day, they would hawk at day and attend school at night.
The light at the end of the tunnel started, when Rhema's physiotherapy yielded fruit, and getting up to his fit, he gradually started looking for work, With his good grades as a graduate of accounting he was able to secure a job as an internal auditing assistant in a supermarket. His siblings gradually resumed school, his mother added a little strafe to her teaching job and gradually, the time of suffering became a story she told to persons who came to her for help as an encouragement. Her joy knew no bound when one after the ,other, they all graduated from school.
First was, Reel getting admission to study business administration, it was like a film and before the world could blink an eye again, her four kids had all graduated with good scores from the university.
Jael got married and Reel also got married.

The last person to get married was Ray as the last son and child of the family, his siblings decided to make it memorable by adding a thanks giving to the occasion. Mrs. Imelda Johnson used the period to appreciate God and when they got home. She used her story to admonish and encourage her grand kids, son in law's and daughters in laws. This was how her sufferings ended for good.
