Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 2 (Week 4)| The Worst day and the best day of your life - A true life story! By @ishayachris

Greetings to all the wonderful members of this amazing community @steemalive, and their friends all over the world. Its a privilege to be among you today, and I don't take relating with you for granted. Today I welcome you all to the last week of season2 engagement challenge, and to my blog where I will be sharing with you the worst and the best day of my life. Relax and read me through as I narrate my story.

Life is more like the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencys. Today the price could be high, and the next day it goes down. So it is with human life, today we can be celebrating and jubilating due to some achievements and experiences, and the next day, we could be mourning and crying due to bad experience or incidents. That's how life is with every living creature because, the race of life is not always smooth. It can be sorrowful today, and tomorrow, it can be full of happiness.

Personally, I have experienced the fall and rise of life. There were days i felt like giving up, and there were days I feeled fulfilled in life. Nevertheless, here i'm strong, gallant, and healthy today because, God never forsake me.

In the course of life, I have had bad days such as dead of family members, exam failure, accidents, abuse, lost of properties, and false accusations. I also had a lot of good and memorable days such as, exam success, graduation, and business success. For the sake of this contest, I will be talking about my beloved kid brother, and I will be starting with my best day.

I experienced my best day in life on April 19, 2013. That day happened to be my happiest day because my kid brother was born on that particular day. Like I always say, I'm from a family of five (5), and I happen to be the only male child of the family. Before my kid brother was born, my parents and I have been praying hard for another male child, but for years, they was no answer to our prayers. Personally I was disturbed because I needed a brother. I needed someone I could play with, someone I could call a brother, someone to grow with, and some I can share my properties with. Before his arrival, I use to feel lonely and bored seeing myself in midst of my sister who will one day get married and leave the family to stick to their husbands. The loneliness was much, nevertheless we never stopped praying.

Finally, on April 19, 2013, the good God answered our prayers by sending Geoffrey. He was handsome and fair in complexion, and anyone that sees him, sees my father because they so much look alike. The whole family celebrated his coming with an open arms. He have been my prayer point, and I was finally happy that I now have brother, a companion, and a friend. That feelings of loneliness suddenly disappeared, and I was overwhelmed with happiness. As a matter of fact, that was my happiest day.
The birth of my kid brother really taught me a lot of life lessons that are still keeping me moving till today. Some of the lessons are:

• Never give up on God. Continue praying and believe that one day, he will grant you your heart desire. We prayed for another male child, and he gave us
• I have also learned that, provided they is life, they is hope to get whatsoever you want. It might be delayed, but it will surely come to past.
• thirdly, I have learned that with prayers, every door can be opened. It might seems hard but prayers conquers it all

Its very unfortunate that what gave me happiness on April 19, 2013 also gave me the worst day of my life. After the blessing of God open the life of my family, we were happy and everyone was filled with the overflow of joy. Unfortunately, things turned around from happiness to bitterness when Geoffrey fell sick. It all started like a joke, and the sickness was strange because, during the day, he normally use to be healthy and strong, but once it's night, no body use to be at peace because Geoffrey's body temperature use to rise, and he would cry throughout the night. He was taken to almost all the hospitals in the state, but no single doctor could explain what was really wrong with him. All test were carried out on him, but all doctors report use to claim that he is healthy. Personally I was worried and disturbed. I was having the feeling of loosing my only brother. My parents spent a lot of resources to save my brother, but all efforts failed. I can still remember vividly that on 23rd June, 2014, Geoffrey was rushed to hospital at midnight when the condition got critical. At dawn, my parents called me and gave me the saddest news of my life. My brother gave up. The gift we prayed for came and after a year, he went back to his creator. He made us happy for only a year before leaving us in bitterness. I remember how I use to play around with him, how I do buy toys for him. I loved him so much but, where is he today? He is gone, and I'm all alone gain. Nevertheless, I have the confidence that I'm still in the plans of God. To cut the story short, 23rd June,2014 was my worst day, because that was the day my beloved kid brother left me.

In the course of my worst experience, I have learned lessons. Below are few.

• not all things that makes us happy will stay forever in our life. Some happiness are short and temporary. The coming of my brother made us happy, but the happiness lasted only for a year.
• when he passed away, I carried all night but, my tears couldn't bring him back. From that I have learned that tears can't bring back a dead person
• I have also learned that despite the sadness I passed through, God still have plans for me, and even though i have no brother, I'm not alone
• I also have learned that life can be up and down, but be strong and courageous when bad days knock at your door.

I have had my bad and good days all around one event which is the death of my brother, but I always say to myself that "its well with my soul because God have a greater plans for my life". I know he will be my friend and companion, and through me the family will get many male children. Remember, one with God is majority. So I'm not alone.
