it's a bird, it's a plane, it's Super Mum!

my brother just left the shores of naija for the states
going to spend a few weeks with my cousins
good things come to those who wait.

for some people it's like "yeah, we go every summer"
but not for all.
we all dont come from families that can do that every summer or xmas or whenever
so, when it does happen it is a big deal

my mum took it as one of those things that only God can do

it was rough, very rough for her bringing us up all alone for 25 years.
i call her "SUPER MUM" cuz she is one of the strongest people i know
it's hard not to what to follows her ways n worship her God
He has been there for her and for her her children from ages past.

i remember back in Uni when a new semester, month end or the begining of a new month arrives and cash for all kinds of things will be needed. like rent for my sister off campus, transportation, feeding, clothing, deck etc.
multiply that by 3. books, school fees, registeration, some stupid hungry lecturer.u know the rest.
she never hesitated to give when asked. if only unnecessary.
we would gather round her and collect our own "salary" from her salary. share the whole damn thing then return to our various institutions.

it was difficult for me to shaft her.
school fees- i never inflated
project time - tried not to ask for outragous sums that was the norm then
tried to control my expenses as much as possible.
i was not stingy though. she made sure u had enough to live above comfy

there are lots more i want to say about Super Mum. if i do it'l turn into a book of some sort.

thanks for EVERYTHING.
even letting your kids go far to find their destinies away from home and you

we luv u momma

luving you is like food to my soul
boys II men
