You have 250 minutes on earth, who are those you would call?

"Not only is death inevitable; death is necessary for us to inherit the new life we are to enjoy in Christ". 

Max Lucado

Staring at my laptop while having nothing to write about. Everything is just blank and needs some ink to fill it, but no ideas, no imaginations, it's just so empty that I sat on my chair while I rested trying to find something to write. All thanks to the rat, I was able to complete my Kdrama movie even though I wanted to sleep, but the rat was just coming around and jumping on anywhere it sees. I was afraid of it jumping on me while in bed, so I had to take the moment to watch the remaining 8 episodes from 7pm to 4:53am. I finally slept at 5:am and decided I would sleep and wouldn't go to Church. Yes, I only slept for 3hours and I quickly did my chores and took my bath. I ate the remaining spaghetti I cooked yesterday with fried plantain. 

I was still thinking of something. Suddenly, I remembered the challenge post on hive and I decided to write on it. I did one of the options but I will be going for another one which says you are given 250 minutes, which is 4.1hours, who are the three people you would call?

So without wasting time, the first person would be my Dad and it would be like this;

Hello Daddy, how are you? I believe you are doing fine? Dad, I know you made a great mistake in life that you are still blaming yourself and regretting it. I know you wanted Mom to be alive because she was your strength but you kept slapping yourself for allowing death take her away without doing anything but to speak bad about her in the presence of your family. I know your siblings would have acted immediately if they knew she was sick but you decided to be who you were then. This made your children blamed you for everything. Despite everything, I still love you. You always call me "Mercy Child" because I couldn't watch you suffer at your old age. 

Despite everything that happened, I still see you as my father because I know we all make mistakes. Yes, we all do and trying to work on making things better which I see in you. Your first daughter is still very angry with you, but I still stand in the gap to defend you. I know I have always sent you money often so you don't lack anything. I know it would be hard for you at this moment but I am glad I could leave something behind to help you, perhaps start a farming business in your hometown. I will definitely send you more money but it wouldn't be through me but always remember I will always love you as my father, no matter what you have done in the past. 

The next people would be placing a video call to my siblings and would start with my immediate sister first;

Hey, baby girl. The best gift God has given me. I am so proud of you darling for the woman you are becoming. I remember how you used to tease me saying if I am about to die, I should make sure I add you as my next in kin so you can have access to my money and other things. I know you are always sincere and plain with your words. I know you are always happy to have me as a sister. I still have it in mind to make you my next of kin and would tell you something. 

Once I drop this call, make sure you come around, there is a book where I write my passwords to all my accounts. Take all the money, share it and make sure you give Dad the biggest part when you convert it. Let him start a farming business because I just called him now. I can't call you all together to come around because of the limited time I have left. I want you to always stay strong as you have always been. Be the best CEO of your business. Always put God first in everything you do and stay strong as always. 

To my Big Sis;

Hey Big Sis, I always call you “My Princess” and you would laugh at how I pronounced it and you will correct me which I will appreciate. Thank you for everything you have done. I know you have always been smart and hardworking and you always talk about God wherever you go. I remembered when you told me to start paying my tithes and how you proved to me with your testimony how God blesses those who are faithful in their tithes. Yes, you showed me the way and I gladly followed and since then, I have been enjoying the blessings of God till now. 

I know you wanted me to go for my Masters as soon as possible and how you would always tell me to learn things online. I know I haven't worked much in this aspect, but I was able to be a graduate, all thanks to you. You know I told you I have been blogging online but you wanted me to work offline too, just to be financially stable just like you. I have worked and saved enough money for you, even though I know you won´t take them because you are already doing fine. Sis, no matter what Dad has done, can you find a place to forget and embrace him as your father? He is still your father for every mistake he has committed. He was ignorant then but now, he is able to realize his mistakes and he is working to amend his ways. Be happy with him and let God protect you. 

To my two other siblings;

Michael and Tosin, God brought you guys to my path which I will always be grateful for forever. You have always been strong till now and I want you to continue to. Listen to your sisters and be the best in all you do. Do not settle for less and be contented with what you have. Your sister, Titi will send to you from my efforts and utilize it in the best way and remember God is always with you wherever you go. Do not fight each other but unite and love yourself. This is the only way you can make me happy.

Then the last person would be my childhood friend, Ajoke

Ajokky Babe as I used to call you, No, I add this too, T.K. Thank you for everything. Thank you for the advice, love and encouragement. Thank you for being a sister and not only a friend. I wish to see your baby, Nathan but I know he will do fine and be a wonderful child. May you always be happy in your home. I love you so much. 

HOW WILL THE CONVERSATION END?

Sincerely, it would be painful to see your loved ones for the last time before leaving the world. Knowing you have just limited time would hurt, but the memories created would be there forever. Thank God it's just imaginary because I do not pray for such soon. Even at that, I still would tell my siblings of my accounts and wallets so they can have access to it and not die with me. Still, may God keep us alive for years in Jesus name. This is really emotional and I hope my readers won't feel so emotional reading it. Lol

Thanks for reading
