She had impacted immersely to friends, relatives and love ones that their paths crossed in a positive ways. I am delighted to join in this contest @steemalive community. In this contest, we have been asked to appreciate our mothers via our contest entry. Please read through as I will help you to know her very well and understand very well why she remains the best mum ever.

MY BEST MUM EVER

my Mum in her prime.

This is my mum, Mrs Kalu Erinma. She is from Ndi Awa, Ohumola community in Igbere that is in Bende Local Government Area, Abia State, Nigeria. She hailed from a very large polygamous, rich and royal family with a host of relatives. She got married to Mr Kalu Egwuonwu from the same village, Igbere. Their marriage was blessed with three kids, two boys and a girl.

MY MUM'S PROFESSION
Bible book of Proverbs chap 31:18 says that

She sees that her trading is profitable; Her lamp does not go out at night.

And verse 14 also says that

she is like the ship of a merchant. Bringing her food in from afar.

These two bible verses summarized the handwork of my mother and how she engaged in them faithfully. Although married to a rich man, she loathed to be called a house wife. When she is still bearing her kids, she engaged in provision store at 28 Obuda street off Faulk road, Aba where her store was a customer's choice in all household goods. Also, She engaged in confectioneries business to supplement whatever her husband give to her. These two early jobs was a bit stress free to enable her to cater for her kids, home and husband's needs.
However, when the kids are teenagers. She was a bit relieved from them. She started buying her food/goods from afar, Oron in Akwa Ibom State and sells in her shop at Ariara international market in Aba. She bought crayfish and several dry fish in bulk and sells to middlemen/consumers.

When her husband died at 1993, she was left to cater for her kids and she did that with joy. Everything changed for her and her kids, from silver spoon to the use of original hands. She did not give up but changed to a simple lifestyle. She still bought her food/goods from afar as the scripture above rightly said. But the goods changed to garri, a common stample food for Nigerians, She gotten it from hinterlands and village and sell in the semi-local market. She make a huge fortune in all her business transactions. She wins all her business challanges because she thinks it over at nights as that bible verses and execute it carefully in all her transactions.

MY MUM'S SACRIFICES
Bible book of proverbs chap 31:17 said that

She prepares herself for hard work, And she strengthens her arm.

My Mother is a very hardworking woman. She prefer to labor for her gains than to be idle. My father died when we, her kids are very little, I being the senior was merely seven years ago. When we can't contribute anythings to overall of family expenditures but we did not lack anything because my mother strengthen her arm.
Moreover, there was no help from anyone, she was tempted severly to leave us in foster homes and remarriage before those good for nothing could help her. Remember her was at her prime(see the picture above), she defied all their promises and stick to us and train us to now. I have never felt like I was trained by a single parent. She disciplines, educate and provide for us with God's blessing of her trading business.

MY MUM'S QUALITIES

My mum extend her palm to the lowly ones and open her hands to the poor. She is very generous and kind.

My mum is a God fearing woman. She don't play with matters relating God and his worship. She prays frevently and read her bible frequently. She made sure to bring us all up in a godly way.

She is a diligent, skillful and hard working woman. She had never be idle, doing nothing. No! She hates laziness. Whenever you have anything to discuss with her, better go to her shop.

CONCLUSION
Like what bible book of proverbs chap 31:29 said that

there are many capable women. But, you-you surpass them all.

Honestly there are many capable women including all the sweet mothers of all the steemians. But to me, My mother is the best mum ever.
