Death, a sad reality or truth of every human being.

DEATH, is the end of every living things that is existing. Death doesn't have respect or pity for old and young people, little children or even infants. And not to talk about animals and plants because it also die.

When I heard about the dead of my grandmother I was shocked because I knew she will die one day but not this way I expected too soon, I thought so. She has been sick for a very long time now, my uncles and aunties have been taking her from one hospital to another, they have been taking care of her at her condition of illness for about 6 years if I could remembered. She passed away at the age of 84 years. What a glorious exist indeed.

My parents called me and told me about her burial arrangements and a day has been fixed. During the burial service in the church, the pastors and other clergymen who knew her for a long time testified about her good deeds abd her hospitality.

So many people came to the burial and a lot of testimonies has been said by a lot of people who have stayed and worked with her from different places. But what I learned from the testimonies about her was her being an hospitality personified and a careful giver. While growing up I knew my grandma was a good careful giver. She used to buy me a lot of things and give me food to eat. At times seriously I don't like eating her food much because she is an old woman and the food is not good to me taste.

But grandma will make me to sit down close to her and watch me eating that food by fire by force. She doesn't spend the money people used to give her or even my parents normal give her. Sometimes she will give me some small amount of money to buy things and asked me not to tell my parents especially my father that she gave me money. I will collect the money joyfully and gladly. Indeed this life is not forever.

Whatever one have or is doing in this world is just for a moment. I saw how my parents, uncles and aunties and other relation cried and talked so much about grandma. Indeed she has left a good legacy for her children and grandchildren to emulate. When they were doing the last burial benediction, I was looking at the casket and was thinking about life in different ways and I came to understand some things.

My grandma burial benediction has shown me that truly no matter what you have or accumulated in this life, all the money or wealth, mansions, assets, qualifications and all those things people valued and respect because of what you have. All those things will mean nothing to you if one is dead. Those things will not save you from the hand of death if the day come for you. But the amazing part that gives me joy was the good things she did for her children and people that came across her part while she was still alive.

Grandma is dead and gone forever, never to be seen her again. But her good deeds and reputations will always remain in the heart of people and those people will cherished it and valued it.

Moral lessons!
