If my grandma were alive today,she would av been 85yrs old.and if she were alive today,I would av been telling her all these but because she isn't m penning it down.
I loved everything about my grandmother,the way she talks,works,tells us stories(about her and all)and everything.
She called me Fiyinfoluwa and my sisters,Oluwatoke and Oluwaseye.
Among all my names Fiyinfoluwas is the one I like and cherish the most.And till she died,she called us all that special name.
I was going to ask her to give me a list of names I can give to my children but I kept on postponing it nd saying I will ask her later,therez still time and all hut now shez gone,just like that,without any warning.
The last time I saw it was in the hospital,mum told me she was at a hospital in sagamu so I just came from school to see her nd when I got there,she couldn't recognize me.
I haven't talked to anyone about this since but this pained me more than anything,I held her hands and called her,she looked at me and dhe kept murmuring stuffz that I didn't understand,I couldn't bear it anymore I just had to cry.And to Dr and Mrs kunle Aina-Badejo,thank you for being there that day,they knew I needed to cry and they held my hands while I did so,I really appreciate it especially his wife.
When I was very young as young as 1-3yrs I lived with her,every morning and night before we prayed we would recite a psalm and she got me to know most psalms at that tender age.
When I had those skin problems,she was more than there for me,she will carefully wash my legs and do the dressings then get me into bed.
When I was still plaiting my hair then,and she called the hairdresser to come nd plait my hair for me,she will sit down there with her and tell her to plait my hair gently,she never left to do something else cos I had a sensitive scalp and I still do.
Mama,I remember all these but I never said thank you,I always felt there was still more time to talk,but alas,the time has gone.
I could talk to her about anything(till today there are some things I can't talk to my parents about/ask them)but not her,I will ask and she will tell me.she had 9 children and there was a day I asked her Y she had so much children dat doesn't she feel pain when she delivers her children's just laughed and said no,that she even goes to her hospital on her date of delivery and she goes back home that same day.
Shez a wonder woman,that puts her children first before anything,always there for everyone and I am so happy to say this,the first time I cooked,she was the one I cooked for!This is my joy and m so proud of myself even tho the rice was overcooked.
Mama,I love you and continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty God.I have to stop here cos I can't go on.
