Tuesday is the second working day of the week and usually one of the people's favorite days of the week, because after stressful Monday (as most people will call it) there comes Tuesday that won't be so stressful as Monday.
Few days when I was going through @Chelle18 article titled Depression kills him I had a flashback of an event that occurs years ago, probably when I was still a teen back then, I told her in the comment section that I'm definitely going to write on this too.
This event happen years ago in the formal street that I live, There was this lady that everyone admire in my environment because she was well brought up and she has respect for everyone (both elders and young people), She was a very happy person that you can never see her angry at anyone or being sad, she always encourage people never to give up on life that, there's so much more to life than we see from here, and the people will be motivated with the positive energy that always move around her, I remembered one time when the mother of boy was beating his son for going to play football when he was sent an errand and the lady quick rush there to stop the mother for beating his son, she asked what happened, why are you beating your son like this ma, the mother explain everything to her and she was like, haba madam, I know that you want your son to be a doctor or an engineer, but sometimes in life we just have to let our kids have fun sometimes, maybe he might turn out to a professional football like Jay Jay Okocha ( Jay Jay Okocha was once a professional football star in my country Nigeria and he was also one of the best in the world of football years back, Ronaldinho once called Jay Jay Okocha his mentor), the mother smiled with joy in her heart and started petting the little boy to not cry again, the neighbors around love the way she handled the case and they were all amaze at her, they see her as the most happiest person on planet Earth and nothing can ever make her unhappy in life.
One thing they didn't know is that Even the encourager needs encouragement too, This lady was passing through life and nobody knew about it, not even her family or friends, something occurred in the past that was traumatizing her so deeply, she hardly sleeps at night, the only thing that kept her going was her will to help others, cause she finds happiness in helping as many people as she can, life was tough for her but she didn't make it obvious.
Sometimes in life, we make little injuries sound big in hears of others with knowing they themselves are going through, we normally say, If you know what I've been through ehn, you yourself will know that I'm strong to alive today, last month I saw a comedy skit of men drinking beer and one wasn't drinking, they asked if why are you not drinking, he said he has alot of problem at hand now and drinking can't solve it, one of the men now said that, if you know what we that are drinking now are going through too, you go melo down (you will be surprised) the man that wasn't drinking said, let's put our problems in the table now (they used bags as an icon of their problems) the man that was making it obvious that he as a lot of problems, brought out his bag of problem, to cut the story short, he was the one with the smallest bag there and when they were to collect their problem back, the man was left with the biggest bag, lol.
Days went by and no one has seen or heard from the lady, maybe she traveled overnight, they thought until dead body started smelling in her apartment, they were knocking and nobody answered, they now forced the door open, when the door opened, they saw the lady lying dead with a note on the table (I didn't know what was written in the note) when they read the note, tears started dropping from their eyes, when the new spread around, so many people doubted that it was that nice lady, how can it be her, a lady I saw just last week here, she was so filled with life and love, I can't believe that, may is not her you people saw. No one believes that she will ever take her life, so many people attended her burial and were talking about all the good things she has done, I pray she's happy wherever she is now.
Moral lessons
Always try to check up on your loved ones, never admit that they are fine just because you see them always smiling and laughing, most people we see on the way are going through a whole lot, some has given up already, the only thing stopping them for committing suicide is that suicide is a sin against God. Someone you see today, you can see them no more tomorrow, life is not a promise, we are just living by his grace, a lot of people that died has plans for the future too, but life ran a fast one on them, make every moment count, never heavy or carry malice with someone, when you are opportune to offer help to someone, don't hesitate to do so, the thing the lady was very happy about before she died, is that she helped a lot of people before her death, what will you be remembered for? (According to Mama iyoko), One says we will leave this world behind, spread love, and have a blessed life.
