Today, during a casual conversation, an elderly lady shared something that deeply moved me. She told me that her husband had recently passed away, but they had decided together not to have a funeral. The reason? Their family always had an excuse not to visit or even call. So, they chose not to "burden" their busy lives by making them attend a funeral.
But what truly shocked me was when she revealed that she hadn’t even notified the family of his passing. I asked how they would react when they eventually found out, and after a brief pause, she firmly said:
"If they didn’t care enough to see or speak to him while he was here, I refuse to let them see or speak about him now that he’s gone."
She explained that her husband was an excellent cook and always invited them to dinner. But the response was always the same: "I’m busy," or worse, complete silence. Holidays, birthdays, anniversaries… always ignored.
After much prayer, she made a bold decision: she sold their home and belongings, moved to a small apartment in the city, and started anew.
Then, she looked me in the eyes and said something I will never forget:
"Darling, when you realize you are no longer important to someone – even family – you have to make yourself the most important thing."
At that moment, my heart broke, but I also realized I had just met the most courageous person I have ever known.
Please,I want to say it again. If IVF was involved in the process,don’t cut it out of the testimony. It’s still God’s glory🤲🏽. It CS was involved in the process of childbirth, it’s all part of the testimony. You cannot boost God’s ego, neither can you deflate his worth.
I feel some type of way when I travel by myself and many people assume it’s with a guy.
This post isn’t to convince you otherwise but understand that women do travel alone AND in groups and we have the best time.
Not every time travel with man, there’s more to life than that.
Body dey 🌶 me!
Don't move funny, I don't care if we are following each other.
I will block you and you can pls do same. It is your right...
There is no need to keep pretending that we are on the same page!
I am too old for BS!!
Funny how when the topic is "female submission" some of us suddenly remember we are "Christians" - but when the topic changes to "male promiscuity", we suddenly take refuge in "African culture and traditions".
Do not hide under love & loyalty and watch your friends make mistakes while cheering them on and saying words like, “do you, the world will adjust,” or “I support you regardless.”
You’re not loyal, you’re a witch and a dishonest friend.
Love them, be loyal and still be honest.
This is vile @renoomokri. I have seen a lot of bad things on this space but you have plumbed the depths of indecency and shamelessness with this one. I have a policy of never joining any dragging but I have made an exception for you. That is how shameful your tweet was. Tueh!
