The sorrows of a family
I am called Patience all my life I have lived it in peace, joy, sorrow, comfort, and tears. When I was young I always used to pray to God to give me a blessing and my family members always thought that it was a joke but yet I was serious. I used to live with my three brothers and one sister had young brothers called Jeremiah, Timothy, and Benjamin, my sister was called Joy because she always like smiling compared to me. I would always get sick and my mother was always worried about me and my sister. My father’s name is Emanual. My dad had a concubine in a different house and all she could tell him was poison she kept feeding my dad with poisonous words that our mother did not deserve us but was that right of her? She once told me a father to take his children from his mother and what dad did was imaginable he took us away from our mother when I was only 1 year and my sister was only 3 years. We were mistreated and not given the chance to eat, we could only receive one meal a day and when dad was back all she could say was they have eaten the day feather would return home she dressed us up very well so that we could look healthy and clean. One time my mom wanted to take us back home but that day unfortunately ended up having a fight with dad and all dad could say to her was “I don’t want to see your face near my kids ever again. Mom shed tears and what could we do nothing. My stepmother one time got angry with us and heat my sister to the time she could no longer walk I cried and as well was punished. One time my stepmother went for a check-up and she was told that is Nulliparous. She got so depressed and jealous of my mom that the following day she put poison in my elder sister's food and gave her to eat. That day we wondered what is the special occasion and all she told us was "These are your last days to see your elder sister and wish her a farewell. And all of a sudden I saw my sister fall to the ground and all I could do is call her and tell her that I am hungry not knowing what had happened. My dad comes back and finds my sister on the ground with my stepmother crying and asks her what has happened she told him that "I think she had malaria for a while so she is now dead let us return her to her poor mother" My dad agreed and there they returned her my mother bust into tears and told my dad why did you wait for this to happen. Did you want to see my children die then you give them back to me? My mom took my sister to churches and churches and a lot of hospitals but they told her she needed to get money for my sister to have an operation. Unfortunately, she did not have the money to she washed people's clothes at the hospital but it was still not enough. Then she had one of her loved pigs she gave them to dad and told him to sell it and bring back the money to her so that they could cure my older sister. On the evening time for the operation he had used the money for betting and at first, won and then wanted to play more until he was bitten and remained with total nothing at all. He went to mom and told her that he had spent all the money he got. My mom burst into tears and could not imagine what was going to happen to my sister
