it was not in pursuit of Geography that they had to go through all spheres of life, enjoying some hating the more and crying in each. They had just thought of a good life ahead and every thing seemed to fall in place. What in life did they ever not see?. They had to be through the mountains valleys and plains to realize that indeed life is so big and enough is hardly enough even when you have enough to tap it all.
Times were that the only reason they went home was to hide fro the big winds of the night and the norm that any sane person is supposed to be home at night, keep off your mind the joy of being at home that for years was unheard off don't call it poverty it indeed was more than that. People still assume a smile even when hungry, even when dying but then for them believe you me that it was just uncouth
to smile. No one would have wished to be associated with them let alone to be seen with them, that's the time i conquer to and with the good book Proverbs chapter 19 and verse 4. The young sibling had to go to school and the rest thank God were in boarding school though without fees at least they could not per take of the sufferance cup around home nor would they be party to the Emotio-physchological trauma being experienced therein. The good book reminds me of '' You shall tell the story of how you overcame'' and for them it shall have all features fit for prose suspense attracting the listeners( band of angels and arch angels) as they make ready the victors crown and hold them closely in their arms leading them to their forever home.
Days after secondary admission and talking of going to school was more of a mockery than it would ever sound real. Tears had become a part of their diet without which no 'meal' would be served. All was not well for them but one thing stood out for them and it shall forever stand, allow me quote it Psalms 18 vs 6 '
'in my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his
temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears"
