Travelling to get my old textbooks, stumbling on the burial program of my late mother
As a student and as a lecturer at the time, I need textbooks that will facilitate my lectures and studies. I have bought some that my lecturers gave us to buy and then I remembered that while I was in school, I spent a lot of money buying both the textbooks recommended in school and other ones in school.
Back then in school, I concentrated in buying textbooks and I ignored taking care of myself. I packed all my textbooks to the village, to my in-laws when we were moving to out to Akwaibom State. Thankfully, they are safe there. During one of my lectures in Financial accounting, the lecturer showed us a textbook that I bought while in school and said that we need it for the study. Since then, I have been planning to travel and get them along with others that I will use for lecturing my students.
I went for it yesterday. Going to my in-laws village took me 5700 naira (57 steem) to and from. I was able to search out all my textbooks that I took home . I had packed them all in a bag. Though rat ate some of them but mostly my notebooks and some past question papers.
Guess what I saw? Hmmmm! I stumbled on my late mother's burial program. That memory returned I felt so bad. I remembered the last time I saw her, how her burial went. Every memory returned. It was easy for me. Remember that I am here last born in the house, she loved and cherished me so much and I loved her too. She was so dear to me. I had to take that program with me anyways. I will discard it but not now. You can see the picture below
