Her husband has gone to work in the next state. He was contacted,his wife had gone into labour, he rushed down to the hospital hoping to be there in time to witness another successful delivery(sighs).

She was delivered of a baby boy, the midwife said “this boy will be very stubborn “. She later noticed the lifeless body beside them, Yes she died. She died fighting for her dear life, she fought with all her strength but death was more powerful. Death took away a priceless jewel, a woman of virtue, courage, strength. She was loved by all and sundry. She died leaving her two sons to the cold hands of the world, she left her husband heartbroken and her children motherless. Everyone who knew her grieved over her untimely death. The baby boy grew up and not a day passes without him thinking of his mom, not a day passes without him going to her grave to cry. He asks himself questions no one can answer. Her husband was saddled with the responsibility to take care of the two boys, he tried he really did,yes the two boys survived hardships, they grew up to become wonderful guys. There’s nothing more painful than the death of a mother, so if you’re reading this and your mom is still alive, you’re damn lucky.
