LIFE IS FICKLE

life will not always go as planned sometimes and I think the best mentality to live life is "life is fickle" it's always unpredictable

There's no manual to living life and I doubt if there would ever be one

It's just how it is and how it will always be
Sometimes life happens you get hurt and you learn from it, and other times life just move with a good tide to your end and you just enjoy it
Well, it is life and it's always different to everyone, I think the beautiful thing about this is we all just have one way or the other to live around it and we all appear happy doing it

I guess that's our advantage as humans.No matter what life gives us we keep moving

It was around September last year and we all were looking forward to the festive period.
we all know this festive period is for family yeah including the extended one, everyone being together and having this big smile with an atmosphere full of joy

One of my aunties had just given birth to a baby girl. She was on holiday and traveled down to Akure City from Taraba during her stay she gave birth in Akure City

It was like all was just going as planned, like the universe smiled on us and probably planned the best Christmas ahead for us

you could say we were having our festive period early or it just came early for my extended family because everyone was happy
She could not travel back immediately so she had to wait because her kid was too young to travel that long distance with

Come November my Auntie was supposed to travel with her kid down to Taraba back to her home and when it was mid-November she packed up and they drove her down to the park with a lot of farewells to travel back home

Only for the insecurity in my country to cut the happy story short
They got robbed on their way back and the gunshot shattered the side glasses of the vehicle
she got unconscious immediately and was taken to the hospital, we got a call of the bad news
We could not move down there immediately because it was far, all we could do was pray for her to wake
God did she woke up,we were told before she could be released from the hospital the doctor only needed to make sure she was stable and then run a surgery to make sure no glass residue was in her

Now she's awake we only need to pray for her to be stable and for successful surgery, our thought

Only for us to get another call later in the night that she had given up the ghost

It was a devastating call that I will never forget

That shook the whole family,got everyone depressed and made everyone broken

Yeah, I know sometimes life just happens and you just wonder why some things happen to the wrong ones

It's life all we do is live it

Here we are surviving it
The kid is fine and hearty
Another November just brought back the memory
Some things just happen in life and they become a story that will always have a print in your heart and memory

This is very emotional and you are very strong to share thing. Some say time heals, but really, does it? It is always too hard to lose another human, especially if they are close. The memories just keep coming back and even you just wish you could turn back the hands of time. Thanks for sharing, I hope you and your family heals. May God bless the child or children she left behind.
