Greeting my fellow friends and wonderful steemains, it's been a while. I'm writing this with a heavy heart to let you know about how the remains of my late grandma (FUBI JUEL )was buried in her husband compound UMUMANWA COMMUNITY
My grandma late madam fubi was born into the family of Duruemerue Anyanwu in Ozrir Inyishi in Ikeduru L.G.A Imo State Nigeria on 12th July 1900 And died January 2020. She was the third child of the family.
My grandma late madam fubi Juel got married to her husband in 1914 and was blessed with 9 beautiful children including my mum, 49 grandchildren including me, 50 great-grandchildren, and others too numerous to mention.
morning activities before mama was laid to rest
I woke up very early by 5:30 a.m. to complete what we started on Friday night, to get food ready for both our distance visitors and nearby ones with my elder sister and my brother's wife along with other helping hands, before mine grandma will arrive from the mortuary, we prepare jollof rice with fufu and soup for our guests and I also had plans of attending the burial talk
This is I and my mum and dad heading to the venue where they lay the body of my grandma.
By 12:00 the cops arrived and the funeral discuss began, everyone was so attentive to the talk as the speaker kept talking
the crops lying in state.
At this point I started imagining how I won't see my grandma who always welcome us with food in her hands each time we go visiting, and she gives nice encouragement to always take things easy in life no matter what, I also remembered her last statements when I visited her last before we head about her depasture, she said I should never leave Jehovah rather I should always remain faithful to him, that it pays to do so. but now just imagine she is lying in state about to be buried
The truth of the matter is that my Grandma is truly gone and my happiness is that she knows what Resurrection mean, because she believed so much in it. that death does not end it all .and she awaits when Almighty God will call and she will answer according to his promise, so we the living should take it to heart and live a life worthy of emulation and such that will help him or her to be in good relationship with our creator.
After mama was buried everyone was entertained and appreciated for coming around and I even took pictures of long-time relative from my grandma's place that came to the burial
I'm glad I was able to tell all how my day went at the funeral of my dear grandma late madam fubi Juel, I know I was supposed to write this that same day ,but due to poor network I was unable to, but still I was able to comment in people posts .I appreciate u all for your care and concern I have missed you guys a lot ,and I'm grateful to be back to keep steeming higher🚀🚀🚀
