Hello my beautiful steemians how are you doing today?
On the 22 of August 2007. Is one of my most saddest day I will forget in a hurry. It started like sickness at eket city where my dad was doing his business just like everyone that left home in search of greener pastures. His business was growing well so many people knows him as a good person who does not like to associate with people that don't add good values in his life.
So one day my mum was surprised when one of my village person call to inform her that her husband is seriously sick. And that he has been taken to different hospitals but to no avail. After some few days later, my dad was brought back to the village by one of his friend. And the worst part of it all is that my dad has spend all his both saving and business capitals on his sickness.
Oh when I see my dad the time he came back from the city he was like a skeleton tears being to drop from my eyes even my mum too because we never knew that it was this serious. My mum staying in the village does not have a enough capital but the little one she has we use it to save my dad in a native way. since he has been taking to the hospital in the city. But to no avail even when we sold everything that my father have yet he still die.
Before the day he died, I was the one that Fred him even ate well to compare the other days we normally force him to eat. I was happy thinking that my father is getting better since he can eat this much.
Hmm early morning on that faithful day when I woke up it was as if my body was incomplete I went inside the room where my dad was laying Dawn I call him dad he refused to answer I went closer and touch him and call him but no response. I went out and call my mum to come see that is like his husband is dead. Hmm behold when my mother came inside she touched my dad's hands his leg, it were so cold the next thing my mum carried rapa and cover him from hair to toes that was when I know that it has finished that my father is dead.
Oh I cried I cried I cried. Every one in the family was sad it was as if the world is coming to an end people came and was consoling us. After some days I begin to wonder what kind of life is this? What did my father did to people or what did he do that he deserves to die. And I begin to ask God why? But no answer.
After some weeks when I realized that no matter how I cry it will bring him back and that death is inevitable I have no option than to console myself and move on in life.
After I lost my father, now when I see someone that lost his or her her love one crying, I laugh in my mind and at the same time pity the person because I know how that person feels. And I try to talk a word of consolation to the person and try to make him or her to know that no amount of cry that will bring the person back to life.
I have not seen anything that is so wicked like death. That is my most saddest day in my life thank you. And thanks @alexanderpeace for this contest.

Hmmm, what a saddest experience though, now let me share mine with you about my Uncle. He was a civil defence officer who live in Calabar. I went there for holidays because he was my name sake. When I was there, he had an injury on his leg. It wasn't serious though as he always run some oil(believing that God will heal him). You know this army and police boot, it's heavy and tight, so he use the injury to go to work which makes the wound to expand.
He told my dad but by dad insisted he should come to the village so that they can arrange a local herbs for him but he didn't listen. Few months later, the wound keep expanding till he can no longer wore his boot to work, but still he didn't want to come to the village. He went to the hospital, their church, using Olive oil to run on it. Hmmm it didn't end well. The person that use to be fat like orobo became a skeleton and at last he could no longer move the leg.
That's when he decided to come to the village. Maybe he thought the church and the Olive oil is not useful again. He was brought to the village and my father arranged for immediate local herbs and medicine for him but it was too late. That's faithful day, I try it hard to forget because it was like a dream to me.
When I woke I went to greet him and I also told him about the bicycle I bought recently. Since I was preparing for school, I told him when I come about I will gist him about it. He smiled and say no problem.
So throughout the day I was happy even when in school. As soon as the school closes, I rush home immediately to meet him. But as soon as I reach the compound they were people gathering around with some loud noice. I saw everyone crying but I couldn't wait to ask why they're crying because I was already preparing to have a moment with my namesake my uncle. When I enter the room he was covered with blanket. I was like: are you not feeling heat uncle with blanket? No response. Maybe he's sleeping, I went closer then removed the blanket from his face. He wasnbot breathing. That was my face seeing a someone dead. I couldn't cry.
I didn't feel anything at that moment but later on, the memory of him keep on popping on my head. The person I can't forget. Death is the greatest enemy for mankind. But you know what, I have hope that one day you'll meet our love one again. So my dear, I cannot say you stop crying because you need to when want to, it's not a bad thing to cry. But remember that our lovely creator have a better Future for all of us including our love one who have died.
Take care buddy.

I can understand the pain of losing a loved one. It's unfortunate that after all the stress saving your father he still died. I know you are strong now, I'm very sorry for the loss.
May we live longer and enjoy the fruits of our labour. Best wishes to you dear!
