The emotional goodbye

Greetings!

A warm afternoon to my hive family from this part of the world. Parenthood is something that should not be taking for granted. Why do I have to say this, this is because looking after a baby from the cradle to adulthood is not an easy task, most especially to a baby girl who needs to be guided and monitored to become a virtuos woman.

Seriously to me, taking care of a girl child is not just a task but an Arduous task that must not be joked with. I could remember when I was growing up as a young girl. In those days my parents, most especially my mum used to monitor me here and there, this her act used to get me angry, but with time, I realized it's needed. What of my siblings , my elder brother would not even let me breathe, talkless of acting anyhow. But all glory to God this day. This is not actually where I'm going but just to let's know how it feels to be a parent not ordinary parents but good parents.
Going by what used to happen and what I have witnessed so far in life. Many atimes, you see people both the parents and even the couples crying on the wedding day, then I used to be like why are they crying when they are supposed to be celebrating getting married or giving their children hands in marriage. But it was later that I got to know the reason behind the tears rolling down their cheeks most especially the bride and the bride's mother.

I got to know this when I was getting married last year December, during my traditional wedding last year December, i was emotional when i was asked to go to my parent for their fatherly and motherly blessings and to say my goodbye to them, bidding them farewell that I was moving to my new home.

So, when it was my mum turn to pray for me, she got emotional and she couldn't control the tears rolling down her cheek, I too couldn't control myself, as I got emotional as well and bursted into tear, with tear rolling down my cheek. It was then I realized that its not a child play to just leave your parent that has been taking care of you since you came to the world, on the same spot, I thought of how my parent used to pamper and take care of me, I also, thought of how they used to chastise me whenever I did something wrong. What of the love and affection, everything coupled together made me cried and I was very sure the same was applicable to them. It was not easy at all. So, I got to know the reason behind the cry on my wedding.

But, thank God I got married to a lovely husband that would not let me miss my parents. He's more than a husband to me and he's been taking care of me as my parents would. I love him so much. So, back to the write, the emotion on the wedding day is real.

Thanks for reading.
