I was feeling low last week and began wandering what was weighing
me down. Yes my mother, Madam Mathilda Nwannediya Ohuabunwa, who recently
finished her race on the Earth will be laid to rest this week’s Friday, 6th of
April 2018 in
my home town- Arochukwu in Abia State. So it was natural to feel that was my
problem. But I shook that thinking away because since our mother got called
back to The Lord, my siblings and I had maintained an attitude of gratitude.
After what our mother went through to raise 12 children (seven boys from her
womb and five other children from the womb of her mate) and lived to the ripe
age of 90, we felt God had done so well for her and for us. And having come to
that conclusion, we have remained upbeat as we prepared for her interment.

Later, it dawned on me that my mood was caused by the pain that I
have had in my heart even before we heard of the dramatic release of the girls
abducted by Boko Haram from the Science & Technical Secondary School Yobe State
