Greetings to my hive family.
This life is a journey and this journey is a journey of destiny that cannot be thread in isolation. This is because the journey of life is full of ups and downs which can make one to be depressed and frustrated doing it alone. So, that why we in the process of travelling or walking through a path of life must have a companion that can put us through when facing challenges of life. We also need people that set and direct our path to the right direction. Life they say will not give us what we want or deserve, but we must not relent on our oars but face it squarely. Facing life squarely cannot be done in isolation but with the help of some people that God has designated to help and put us through. I strongly believe no life can be lived in isolation. Right from the inception of the word till today, companionship has always been in existence. Even before the creation of the world and that was why God said, " let's create man in our own image." On another occasion, God said " it's not good for a man to be alone, let's find him a help meet" all these are pointers that no one can live in isolation.
To the prompt of week on the clean planet, the journey of my life has not been a smooth one to the extent I would have love it to be, but I thank God for those people that in one way or other have contributed to my coming to this world and even my existence on earth. The connection between my mum and I while growing has really helped in putting my mum in the best position to be my guiding angel in life. My mum has always been my strength and pillar. She was my support system before her death and there's nothing I can't share with her, she knew me in and out and the tie between both of us was always cordial and its even more than a mum and son tie . My mum was my best friend and we always move together. So there's nothing about me that's strange to her. My mum Mrs AKINTADE R.A , a qualified teacher will always stand for me even when it's not so convenient for me. No wonder she told me she would always be there for me, but death would not allow me to enjoy all she has for me. There's nothing I can't share with her and whenever I shared my pain with her back then, she's always on her toe to find solution to the problem. The bond between both of us stems from the fact that I was her first fruit and it took her 7 years to conceive me and another 7 years before my younger brother was conceived, so, she sees me as a replica and everybody around her knows I was her favorite. She would go to any length to see me through my; academics, wellbeing, moral just name it. So, her footprints even after her death can be seen and felt in my life till today. So I miss her so much for her prompt intervention into any matters that comes my way. She lives on in my memory.
Hmmm! Immediately after her death, everything went awful and it's like the world is over. This is because I have no other person and nobody to share my burden with again, even though, people promised me to always be there for me, but all were found wanting. Where would i start from ? was the question that was all over me , but I gathered myself knowing fully well I have no other person to come to my aid in the time of trouble again except God. So I started doing those things I couldn't do before, those things my mum would considered not good for his favorite son to do, I engaged myself in all those manual and energy required job, I that because of my mum was lazy now garnered that energy again.
So, as luck would have it and smile at me, I entered into the university with the help of God, and right there at the university when I was in my final year second semester, I met a lady , someone i cherished so much, someone that looks like my mum. Immediately I met her, my mind connected to her and my spirit was telling me i will have something to do with her, we later became best of friend, Sharing our burden with each other without drawing or keeping any secret from ourselves. The many pieces of advice of this young lady and the solution that comes after drew me to her even more that I later asked her out and ask for her hand in marriage after the long relationship that took us to the same place to have our one year mandatory national youth service. So, this lady has been my favorite person filling the big void and vacuum that my late mum has left. Seeing both of us , you would think we were born of the same parent but it's not. Just that she has been destined to be my soul mate and this can be seeing with all the mysteries that happened in our coming together. The lady in question is now my wife and we got married last year. So, she's someone that I cannot joke with in my life and whenever I'm down and facing challenges of life, she will always notice through my look and she will always want to hear from me so as to make me happy with her word of wisdom that brings solution to my plight and put smile on my face.
So, these two people I have mention are my two favorite persons, they have both played their different significant and important roles in my life, thay at their different particular stage of my life made my life so meaningful and through their pieces of advice, i have been able to gather myself together and smile again. In fact, they are my guiding Angels and God's sent to me in every stage and junction in my life journey. When one left, another came to continue from where the other left. Both are women. I love them so much. Women are great and I will never take them for granted for they have play their roles in my life. And more so, these two taught me cleanliness which I have always upheld in my day to day living. They also taught me how to be diligent and self dependent. So, having good companions save lives
