How I Lost my Baby Girl
Even as I write I carry the heaviness of heart, with a hope of few relief if this is shared to the world.
So Abigail Ajiboye is my God fathers late daughter, who died on the 1st of June, 2024. Due to an heartless decision made by her mother. Abigail's mother had hidden her genotype from her husband, my God father. That was really not my issue until she moved out of the house with the kids, without the knowledge of anybody not even my God father or any of us. 😢😢😢😢This happened few months after we discovered that she had hidden her genotype from us and had lied all through their courtship. Now prior to the time she moved out with the kids Abigail had been seriously sick and her dad had to go out to work in search of money. She left and sent Abigail to okene in kogi state, without her routine drugs or anything to keep her going even with the knowledge of her been a sickler, with severe vaso - occlusive crisis. My baby girl fell sick there, she wasn't taken care of, neither where we even aware that she was ill, until it became severe, she started having complications, swollen legs and body parts, to a point she had to find a way to call her dad and inform him of the situation on ground. Still her mom was not bothered. We had to send transport fair plus fight for her to be returned back to us, after much arguments and disagreement, on the 20th of may, my girl was brought back to Abuja with severe pains. elephantitis, jaundice, plus severe crisis, amidst other complications involved, she couldn't walk. So on the 30th of may, my God father went there and pleaded to her to let him return home with Abigail, so we could see how to help her out of the situation, the response he got from her mother was that, nothing on earth would make her release Abigail to us, rather we should go home, that everything will come to an end and everybody would rest. He still returned there on 31st, to beg her, yet he was sent back with same statement, With pain and heavy disappointment in his heart he returned home and almost lost his life on his way due to thinking from the incident. I had a programe, we had been preparing and anticipating through out that period, so i had to attend a function at our regional head quarters, so I couldn't avoid been their as one of the choristers. At about 5am in the morning after the program everywhere felt different and unease, so I and my church member had to rush home immediately we finished our duty. we got home at about 7:30am in the morning only to be greeted with the sad news that my baby girl had passed on at 5am that morning and had left a message that we should be strong for her. This was how we lost an 18yrs old young girl to sickle cell. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭She was Buried that same day, she had to rest, the smiles on her face till she was laid to rest was hurtening. We cried but you know our tears didn't bring my baby girl back she was gone, at least to rest and have peace of mind without pains, betrayal and rigours.
Am using this story as an out cry to God on behalf of those who are suffering due to negligence, mistake or heartless decisions made by either both or one of the parents, that he in his infinite mercy preserve and keep them. And if possible give us a cure or life lasting management to it cause the pain of loosing three loved ones is honestly heavy for me to bear, talk more of those who may have lost almost the whole family to this.😢😭😢Amen.
