There
was
a
time
I
was
not
feeling
well
at
all.
Mama
took
me
to
the
hospital.
The
doctor
gave
me
an
injection
in
my
left
leg.
Then
Mama
discovered
that
my
right
leg
was
bigger
than
my
left.
She
saw
that
I
could
not
walk
properly.
She
saw
that
I
could
not
walk
properly.
She
looked
at
me
and
said,
MAMA β
emotional: β
God
forbid!
My
child
must
walk
properly
with
both
legs.β
Mama...
You
refused
to
give
up.
Then
Mama
remembered
my
sister.
She
became
emotional...
MAMA β
emotional,
crying: β
What
happened
to
your
sister...
KIGHO!!!!!!!!!!!
Will
not
happen
to
you!
How
can
a
sister
and
brother
have
the
same
problem
with
a
leg?
Before,
you
had
difficulty
walking.
Now
this
injection
has
affected
your
left
leg.
Never!
This
will
not
happen
to
you!
I
will
not
give
up
on
you.
God
will
make
a
way.
You
will
walk
properly
again.
You
will
stand
strong
again.β
Mama...
You
remembered
what
happened
to
Kigho.
You
saw
what
I
was
going
through.
And
you
made
up
your
mind:
The
same
thing
would
not
happen
to
me.
CHILDREN β
softly,
echoing:
Kigho...
Kigho...
God
is
able...

Early
every
morning,
Mama
would
rub
and
massage
both
of
my
legs.
She
would
stretch
them.
Every
morning...
Again
and
again...
She
never
became
tired.
She
kept
believing.
She
kept
praying.
She
kept
working
with
me.
Until
one
day...
Both
legs
became
equal
in
size.
Mama
was
so
happy.
She
looked
at
me
and
thanked
God
for
my
life.
And
now
I
know...
It
was
not
only
a
motherβ
s
strength.
It
was
Godβ
s
grace
working
through
my
mother. β
Her
children
arise
up,
and
call
her
blessed;
her
husband
also,
and
he
praiseth
her.β
Mama...
I
cannot
hear
your
voice
anymore.
I
cannot
see
you
standing
beside
me.
I
cannot
see
you
anymore,
Mama...
Because
you
are
gone.
You
are
no
longer
here
with
me.
Mama...
You
have
passed
away,
but
your
love
is
still
speaking.
I
cannot
feel
your
hands
rubbing
and
massaging
my
legs
anymore.
But
I
remember.
I
remember
your
sacrifice.
I
remember
your
prayers.
I
remember
your
tears.
I
remember
your
love.
I
remember
how
you
refused
to
give
up
on
me.
Mama...
You
may
be
gone
from
my
sight,
but
you
will
never
be
gone
from
my
heart.
The
testimony
you
helped
preserve
is
still
alive.
And
every
time
I
look
at
my
life,
I
remember
you.
CHILDREN β

softly:
Mama...
we
remember...
Mama...

Rest
in
peace,
Mama...
Your
son
will
never
forget
you.
And
I
give
all
the
glory
to
God.
