Still in the process of healing...
Someday, I hope I will be able to say that I have fully recovered from my fears...
However, the fight to regain grounds have been challenging and a bit terrifying
Life they say is full of ups and downs, I have been through the rough times and the rosy times but you know, no matter what life throws at you, be strong enough to face it and when your strength can not sustain you again, run to your Creator and rely on HIS cross
Let me give you a brief story of what I have been through and probably still battling it
My life was all rosy and fun from the beginning, no burden, no sorrow but joy and happiness
Ten years ago, the story changed when my family was robbed in our former apartment, they made away with my dad's new car and a huge some of money some of which were his own and projects fund, the police couldn't recover our properties for us till today, my dad had to refund the money for the project despite the incident that occurred, we sold some of our properties like my mom's old car and landed properties
After then we had to move from our rented apartment that same year as our landlord had just increased the rent twice the initial payment and with all that we have been through, we took a wise decision rather than pay such a huge amount of money for rent that would expire in another twelve months, we channeled the money into completing our uncompleted building to fit for living atleast
And since then we have been trying to get balance financially and maybe emotionally
The robbery incident caused a lot of damage to the family, my mom became hypertensive after the incident, my warrior sister whom doesn't/ have never experienced sickle cell crisis before in her life started having crisis, on the quest for a green pasture, my siblings were all far away from each other and once in a blue moon phone calls was all that keep the family together except for Christmas / festive period
And ever since the incident that happened to my mum last year and then losing another friend, I became so scared of life
Because, we really don't know what the next seconds or minutes have for us
Above all, I wish that my family can be happy again and forget all the challenges that life as thrown at us and I trust God on this
Someday, maybe I will be able to say, we have completely healed from our trials but still, I am very much grateful to God for sparing our lives 😊
Thank you for taking out time to read my story and thank you #lifestory for the mention to participate in this contest🙂
