| 释义 | A touching story of a lamenting Bishop Fidelis Oga Orgah's niece (Roseline Ene Orgah) Mom had come earlier to pick me from school that day with an excuse only adults understood. She wasn't in her usually lively mood which gave me the impression that something was wrong and I couldn't figure out what it was. Unlike the jolly mother and daughter that chatted all the way home after a pretty stressful day at school and work, Mom was unpleasantly silent till we got home. She started parking up some of my clothes and hers into a bag. I was confused. So many questions running through my young mind. Are we leaving the house? What about my school? Ain't through with my exams and were already traveling home for Xmas. Questions I dare not ask my Mom because she was quite in a bad mood. On our way to otukpo, Mom had cried in a way I had never seen her do before. Silently trying to hold her tears that flowed like running waters. A lady sitting close to her noticing her teary eyes and the wet handkerchief in her hand asked what the matter was and she said she had lost her husband's brother in Idoma language. I still couldn't assimilate what was said because I was so young that I didn't know what death actually meant. which of my uncle could it be? I got myself busy with that question in my heart for a while but I still couldn't figure out who it was because I believed all my uncles were very strong and can take care of themselves so they can't die yet, but who was my Mom talking about? Without getting answers to my questions I had calmed myself down and decided I would ask my cousin Grace Orgah once we get to the family house I knew she would tell me everything I need to know. On getting to our family house everywhere was already filled with mourners and we could hardly get space to move to our room. I was confused, before I could ask my mom what I should do next, she was already wailing in tears to join Granny who was still suffering a shock from the news of the death of her beloved son Fide (Lt. Bishop fidelis Oga Orgah). How could it be? we had only been to the hospital to visit him about a week ago and he wasn't looking weak and he had no injury on him for I believed people only die by auto crash or other forms of road accident. I was in primary 3 when I experienced what it meant to lose a loved one before I knew the meaning of death. It's 7th December again and 18years gone. You're no more but your memories live on. Pray to God for us as you continue to rest in the Lord's bosom. Amen |
