Merciful Lord, turn toward us and listen to our prayers: open the gates of paradise to your servant, Bishop Augustine Akubeze, and help us who remain to comfort one another with faith, until we all meet in Christ forever. Amen.
My older brother missed my graduation.
No call. No message. Nothing.
Everyone kept asking, “Where is he?” and I just kept smiling, as if it didn’t matter, but it did.
That night, I muted his contact.
Three days later, there was a knock on our door.
He stood there tired, unshaven, holding a small wrapped box.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I couldn’t leave the site. If I didn’t finish that job, they wouldn’t pay me and I needed the money for this.”
Inside the box was a simple wristwatch.
“I wanted you to have something that reminds you. Your time is just starting.”
I didn’t know whether to cry or feel guilty.
Sometimes, people don’t show up the way we expect them to.
But it doesn’t mean they didn’t care.
@TheOnlyKemi Funny thing is that even if you used your plate, they will not return it. I can't use my plate to serve him food and still use it.
Please next time call me to bring my plate, I will bring as long as it's food 😂
