Mom's eyeglasses are broken
Oh, my poor mom broke her glasses and they cannot be fixed anymore. Early today, I saw her without her glasses and asked her where it was, and saw this.
A few months back, I took a loan when my nephew asked me for money so she could buy new eyeglasses. I immediately borrowed money from my co-worker and gave it to them before they change their minds.
After a day, my sister gladly informed me that Vani, my nephew will be accompanying my mother to the city teh next Monday and I was very excited with the news.
But when Monday came, nothing happened, instead, my mother planted cassava on her farm and when I asked her when will she go, she told me that she doesn't have time yet. The wet season is reaching its peak so she must plant crops and not waste any time.
Prior to planting, the nylon on her eyeglasses broke and she did not even call me to fix it thus the shoe's glue spread on to the glasses themselves affecting her vision. but she endured it.
Earlier today, I asked her to go to teh city and buy new eyeglasses but she admitted she used the money for planting cassava and did not tell me about it. she was a little ashamed of keeping the secret but what can I do? I was hurt but can I blame her?
I feel so sorry for her but I only have a little in my wallet, not enough to buy her a new one and I can't possibly have another loan because I was not even finished paying the last one yet. Oh, dear. I asked my mother if my nephew had money but she said he had no money at the moment.
For now, I feel like a terrible daughter for not giving her needs, It was the least that I can do to help and make her happy but I had only very little If only I can borrow money somewhere else but I am afraid there will be huge interest on the loan. As much as possible, I don't want to go to the loan sharks and get buried with debts.
Oh, money why are you so elusive? Please come to me so I could buy what my mother needs. I wanted to buy her needs now that she is still alive and will have no regrets when she dies. My heart is aching.
I needed help but I don't know where to find one.
Same sis. Sometimes I also feel guilty and sorry for not giving my mom's needs as I am also broke.
