We learn lessons everyday.

I rented a house for a widow and her 3 children, she should be in her early 30s and actually got her children in school.

I drove into their community one afternoon to drop food items for an old woman because she was sick, driving out, I decided to check up on her.

It was in the afternoon, got there the children were yet to return home. I was struggling to raise money for her to start a business so she wouldn’t be staying home.

Getting there, because I had called and she said she was home and having headache, I knocked and she said come in.

Getting inside, she was changing and I was surprised she was asking me to come in.

I said ” oh I’m sorry, didn’t know you were changing when you said I should come in” I quickly turned and went out.

She insisted I should come in and said when you are done. She finished, asked me to come in and I did.

Imagine Aunty “why were you looking away, Am I not sexy enough?

Like I could barely believe what I was hearing. I am the reason you have a roof over your head with your children, I am the reason your children are in school and you choose to disrespect me that way?

As I got up to leave, she held me.

In her words, “you think I don’t know? my friend said she saw you on Facebook that you have lots of followers who give you money. All you can rent for us is a room?

I stood almost crying. I remembered I didn’t even have money that period when someone told me about this woman’s case.

I practically borrowed money to get that place for her and her children and I paid that money 3weeks later.

Well, that was the last day she saw me.

I haven’t allowed those children to be thrown out of school, Kerian Agom still goes to pay their fees every term but I don’t even have the courage to see them.

They are innocent of their mother’s attitude so they shouldn’t be punished.

Kindness is not easy, especially in Nigeria.
That was my last day to visit any widow alone without taking a female staff along.

God Never Forgets!
