Death is the last chapter of life.
I salute once more. Steemians. Welcome to my diary of today. It has been a sad day.
Dear diary.
MORNING.
After all the gist of last night and the midnight prayer which I answered mostly in my dream as I was already on the bed, I woke up slightly earlier. My father was to go to church for the celebration of St Joseph the carpenter (this feature is celebrated every 1st May.) We did morning devotion and he left . After that I went to the kitchen to make some food for the house.
It was a ghost town due to the crisis which stated some 4years ago. Every major celebration day of the country which may warrant some match pass was turned to a ghost town. I placed beans on the fire and came back to the sitting room and went on Facebook to update the pages I handle.
We heard a very loud nose. Definitely an explosion... No one knew where it came from and no one dared to check. A few minutes on I went up to the road to see how the environment was.
Not even a fly was found on the road.
AFTERNOON
I came back only to discover people gather just around our house. Others crying I had no idea what was going on so I approached and asked. One of our neighbours had died inside his house. A very pathetic story.
The man was an epileptic patient and he owned a small canteen in which he sold some provision. He usually passed every morning to open. No one saw him in the money so some other neighbours knows his door to greet him but did not find any response.
At first they thought he'd left the house early but no one had seen him. So they decided to go through the ceiling to check on him only to find him dead beside his bed. From the way he looked, he'd surely had a crisis at night and no one to help so he sophocated. His corpse was removed and taken to the morgue but was rejected since he had no family member to claim him there. The corpse was later wrapped in a loin cloth and buried.
This made my whole day very sad. Life can be this short? I saw him the previous day in the morning and he was very fine just to wake up to this..
It dawned on me that..ones life can be taken away from him within a second. My God! I was broken.
By evening I took my bath and ate then I did some studies and prepared for church and then I went to bed.
This is how my day went. Thank you for reading through.
I love eating beans so much but I continued reading further and thee death news quenched my hunger for beaans. Life is really short! Your day was just very tragic. Sorry about that! Death isn't a respecter of ages nor status it just comes when it wills and takes who he has to take.
It's really aa pity he had no one to claim his corpse, that's the importance of family.
Thanks for sharing your diary, through this many will be aware of how to live their lives.
