From Ebuka Lancaster- A true life story... That morning,I had left for schl in sound mind;no stress,no worries.My nephew(my sisters son) had been sick for some time& was brought back to stay wit us.His sickness had bin on a thin line b/w getting beta 2day & worsening tomorrow. I told him I was leaving for schl,den I left.Getin 2 schl,everytin abt me changed:stress set in;my head culd take in nth;i felt uncomfortable;everyin was boring,& worse,d lecturers voices were like lyk high pitched sound tending 2 tear d membrane in my ear.It was hell for me.I carried on hoping d day wil come &go.initially,ihad tot it culd b cos i slept few hrs d previous nyt.I got back home only 2 meet my nephew in a real bad shape.He culdnt talk,culdnt eat,& his breathing was heavy & difficult.I managed to take my clothes off &changed.I stood there,my back slightly leaning on a gaint table,hands folded across my little chest.I watched him as his mother,my sister,raised his head frm d bed so he culd take some pap(akamu).she said he had asked her 2 prepare it for him earlier on.He took d 1st spoonful&dat was it;he culdnt take anymore.If it was a fyt,I was strong & ready 4 it.But hu was i going 2 fyt? My opponent was dragging my nephew away & i culdnt even stop it.I stood there, watching helplessly......I watched as lyf went out of him.....D most painful part of it wasnt dat he is gone,but dat he died b4 my very eyes& I culd do nth.I watched as his breath dropped,bit by bit,until it was no more.Dat was d 1st tym I saw some1 take his last breath.Its bin a while nw,but each tym I remember it,tears drops frm my eyes. PLEASE REMEMBER HIM IN UR PRAYERS SO HIS SOUL CULD REST WIT HIS CREATOR.HIS NAME IS EBUKA,MY NEPHEW,MY NAMESAKE.
