SUCKER PUNCH- 3 times life has given me a really hard knock: Written by @debaron
INTRODUCTION
Sucker Punch is a challenge which one had gone through or passed through in life. It is a negative experience no one is willing to experience again in life anymore. If you had not experienced a Sucker Punch, I don't think you are actually existing in this cosmos.
Basic Challenge That Has Been Eating Me Up
(1) THe death of one of my elder brother; Ajah's death is a great Sucker Punch to me and my entire family. He was actually a dropped out "primary 3", like the famous former world rich man, "Mark Zuggabak and others", he categorically told my parents he is not furthering his education, our parents should not waste their resources on him, he wants to be a mechanical engineer, before his demised he was a mechanic, specialised on heavy duty vehicles repairs.
My Late Elder Brother
I missed him so much, most stricken was his knowledge, skills, wisdom, I wish he can transfer them to me, but he left with them. We are a family of seven, he was the fourth while I am the sixth. Ajah was diagnosed in 2016 for having hepatitis 'C' at late hour, since then, life wasn't the same for him and the entire family again until his demised on 5th March 2020.
(2) Meanwhile, as we had battled with Ajah, our Dad was already in his eighties "80", on strong medications for Prostrate gland related health issue, his prostrate case had reached cancerous stage already, the family is not financially buoyant enough to do other wise, we had to tax ourselves monthly to assist.
My Late Dad
Baba died on 25 Apri, 2021 of a long protracted illness as a result of multiple comications, ranging from: High BP, Prostrate case, Ulcer, amnesia etc. It was a great lost indeed.
(3)The third Sucker Punch is the health challenge of my mom, the bread winner of the family, a retired Nurse, a disciplined woman; she is presently on medications too, diagnosed with High BP, and Rheumatism. When ever I imagined what she had went through because of us, now is pay back time, but life is challenging, however, I am very much ready to do everything to make her strong again as long as she lives on, because she means so much to me.
My Sick Mummy
The best help I will appreciate is to get good money to take care of my mom, and to assist children of my late brother Ajah.
