Why am I shaking in town?
I thought I was okay.
Why do I feel like crying every time my mind switches to her?
She was just smiling.
I mean, I saw her smile on that phone call.
And you know, I hear she was very happy
while joking with her mates about how they’ll receive punishment if they don’t sing for God on Sunday.
She loves God, you know.
I often hear her say how God has moved her, and I see that too….
She was at the scene from the Lord’s house, the church, of course.
She had just received that good news that she shared with me before that heartbreaking call.
That call from Daktari wa Masomo, Dr. Bernard Alaka, forget that he’s called Bernard, ‘Boy’ sounds good on him…
He told me, “Prince, Mum amepata accident. Find a cab, and I’ll send you money to come.”
I was heartbroken.
I was like, “Didn’t she just finish praying to God, and even come here because of prayer?”
You know how sometimes you can question God, not blaming Him though…
I felt mad. I was really angry.
Anyways, I took a cab and went.
Everyone was there, all worried but happy because she was alive.
I went in to see her, and she said, “Baba, Bwana Asifiwe, Umekuja ?”
I saw that from her lips; she was not able to speak.
What I saw wasn’t pleasing, but I felt hope!
And the fact that members of the church were there with me till morning kept me strong.
I didn’t call any family member until morning.
They all came; people came.
And when she saw people she knew, I saw her feeling strong.
I know you’ll be fine, Mom, thanks to all for showing the love…
It’s made the two days that I have not slept completely feel like one minute.
