bidding farewell

Today my mother was buried and I was not there. I was outside the country studying and it would have cost an eye to be there and be back at studies. Mothers are important because of the bond that usually exists between them and their children. I remembered my mother because she was there for all of us her children. She was always interested in our well being and always praying and working for our success.
Even when we had our disagreements, such are quickly resolved and we become friends again. My only regret was the fact that I could not give her all the treats that I had planned for her.She suffered for us and was always striving for our best. Iya Adua, I know that we will meet again in the land beyond but as they say in my language,
Maa j'okun , ma j'ekolo
Ohun won ba n je l'orun
Ni o ba won je.
Ma ma ba won kole onimo l'orun O
O di gbere, omo Ikoyi Eso.
