Because of my work, I find it difficult to attend wedding, burial and some functions. But this one, I told myself, you have to try, I know you are tired but you have to. You know whenever you tried to encourage yourself that way, it means you are tired. You needed to rest.
The burial time was 12 noon, but we were told to come out by 10:am considering that the village is far from Uyo city. I nearly miss the it because I had a client who came very early that Saturday morning for massaging. That work requires energy. After that, I checked time, it was 9:45am.
I said to myself, there is no need preparing. One mind asked me to call a friend who is also going to know if they are about to leave. But she told me that bus has not come. I asked her if I will meet up and she said yes. I quickly get prepared and went to the meeting point.
Though tired physically but spiritualy strong. I went and behold, the drivers came by 11:38 am. We left Uyo and move to Ekeya Okobo. Reaching there nothing was happening, I asked, they said they are coming. You can see where sitted in the above picture waiting for their arrival which they later brought the corps back for burial by 2:pm.
The late Mrs Affiong lived for 73 years and letf behind a Son and a daughter with many relatives.
I and my friend whom I called to find out how the movement was going.
The burial was successful and about 18 of us who went as a family was greatful for their generous heart. We left Okobo by 4:25 pm back to Uyo. It is really good to weap with those who wrap.
