I’m too woke for this 😂😂
Either that or I’m just a wicked person
When my mother became a victim of maternal mortality two days after having me, there was confusion. My sister was just 2 years old and there was me, a new born.
Many of my mom’s friends and some relatives wanted to take me in, but my dad’s concern was that he did not want me to grow apart from my sister.
My aunty (God rest her blessed soul), my dad’s youngest sister chose to be the sacrificial lamb and came to the rescue. She dropped out of school, left the suitor she was to get married to — practically altered the whole trajectory of her life, and moved into our house to take care of us.
She nursed me (and my sister) from infancy, and raised us until we became healthy and strong kids.
My dad finally successfully remarried when I was 7 and my sister, 9. That was when she left our house, and pursued her full degree (she did a couple of diploma programs while with us, and also started a tailoring business that afforded her time and flexibility to tend to us).
This is what siblings that love each other do for each other’s kids. I don’t even want to go into what my dad has done for his siblings’ kids as well, coz I’ll need to write a book for that one.
