It had been a beautiful weekend Irene had a nice time with
her sister and her kids in Abuja, her sister had been beyond happy to have her
around, and the kids were beyond excited, her sister pleaded with her to stay
and extra day an extra day meant she’ll have to miss work on Monday, she had
already missed Friday Monday would be just too extreme so as much as the offer
to stay in Abuja away from the business of Lagos seemed attractive she had to
go. On getting to the Airport she discovered the only plane left for Abuja had
been fully booked, anyway after plenty explanation, begging and persuasion this
guy finally help her get a ticket and a seat, she’ll be forever grateful to
him.

Grandpa is 80 today, there’s going to be a surprise party
for him this evening, I really do not feel up to a journey, but mom really
wants us to be there, the whole family is going to be there, I had suggested we
left on Saturday but mom just had to attend church. My sister are the slowest
pair and when they are together aint nothing more disastrous in the end I had
to help them with their packing, we got to the airport really late so we missed
our flights but thanks to a friend of dad at the airport we got tickets for
another plane. Long story cut short we’re going to be at grandpa’s.
***********************************************************************************
I’ve got the post ume tomorrow, I don’t know why mom didn’t choose
a later date, it’s not like I’m even going to the school, its every parent’s
choice, discipline, academic excellence and all the rest. It’s a dream come
true I’m finally going to be out of secondary school, I’ll miss my friends very
much, I can’t wait for grads and prom, we have so many plans, dad would have
come with us but he’s busy. I miss him already. Mom is already yelling at me to
come down lemme go before we miss our flight and mom would finally finish me,
she’s been complaining about me being too slow. Plenty teenage problems.

Dannie’s heart has be kinda getting worse, she fainted again
last week, we’ve been referred to US to see a specialist they say she might
need a peacemaker, we’ll leave for Lagos today and make our trip to the US
tomorrow morning. Dannie is so precious we can’t afford to lose her, we miss
her singing and chest dancing to morrire, her food dance and her feet dance. We’re
at the airport now, we hope for a hitch free flight, if things go as planned we’ll
be back in no time with a healthy Dannie.

Mass today was great, father talked today about how good God
was and how things would not always be bad and how they’ll get better. I really
pray for that betterment o, I can’t wait to leave this house and get a decent
place for my family I’m tired of hearing mama tuned pound yam on top my head
every evening, plus the house is even too small for us. Mama chichi has gone
out to plait hair for some children in ikeja, we need to make ends meet. There is
no light and everyone is hungry already I sent Ebuka to buy bread so we’ll eat
the left over beans from last night, its been 15 minutes and Ebuka is not yet
back, I’m sure he has seen some boys playing football and has Joined them, I’ve
warned that boy severally but he doesn’t listen, I’ll send chi chi to look for
him and buy the bread and come home with him, I’ll flog him today. Five minutes
after chi chi leaves I hear a loud sound it sounds just like an airplane,
before I reach the window to check what it is the sound is even louder, I look
out to see I cant see it then I hear shouting, people shouting, before I can
think there is a loud thud, there is pain, pain gives way to darkness, then
gradually darkness gives way to light, there is peace and silence forever.

Service today was the bomb, I have fellowship to attend but
my head is aching, so I’ll just stay home and rest, for Monday’s work, this
heat sef and nepa is not making things any better. I hope they bring the light
soon o, I need to iron my clothes for work tomorrow, I don’t have appetite for
food, I think it’s because last night Kinsley and I had another fight I don’t
know why we’ve been fighting this much of late. While I’m thinking I drift off
to sleep, in my dream I see Kinsley he proposes to me as soon as he slips the
ring onto my finger the pain comes, it sharp and there is noise a deafening
noise and pain, I try to wake up but the pain is too much on me I try to move
but I can’t, its hurts too much but before I can tell, the noise and pain cease
its silence and peace. I leave my Sunday afternoon to the forever kind of
sleep.

These people are our friends, family lonved ones, pastors
e.t.c, we love them, we miss them and we
hope with all our hearts that they are with Jesus today because heaven is so
much better.
I speak of none
else other than our friends and families we lost on 3rd June to the
Dana plane crash. Only yesterday they wer with us and in one fell swoop all was
undone and today there is no more them. My thought and prayers are with
families and individuals who are hurting this very moment, may the great
comforter grant you comfort through this period. To my friend Zuggy who we lost
you’re missed and loved (sorry if you were not told often when you were with
us) we sure do hope you are happy.
Dear people hold on
to HOPE (HOLD ON PAIN ENDS), love and embrace all, let those we love know we
do, embrace your dreams and be open to try, live the right because our mortal
journey is over all too soon. Embrace the creator, we’ll bow in the end only
depends on wher we do it, lets do it while we have life. WALA, RIP Zuggy,
#KIAforever, RIP #DANA153. Your memories live on.
