The Diary Game||Travelled to Imo State and Powering up 207 Steem||
Before Power up
After Power up
Good morning ladies and gentlemen.Trust you all are fine.Welcome to my diary game post which has been a good way of helping me to keep record of my daily events.Ordinarily I barely keep record of my daily activities.Thanks to the diary game.
Today I made a short trip to the village for a burial of a family friend who had lost his wife a three year ago and now,he has also joined the journey to the great beyond. Death is a cap that all mortals must wear provided Christ tarries.The burial was also an avenue for me to visit my hometown too.Home is a place where when you go there,you are always welcomed.So today I went to my hometown in IMO state Nigeria.
I woke up and did a few chores,had breakfast and dressed up for the trip.The journey wasn't quite long because Imo state is a sister-state to Abia state where I currently reside.
When the journey started
So we took off at around 8:00 am,got to the park, boarded a bus....and journeyed through the Aba/Owerri road up until Osisioma,Owerrinta and passed the IMO river too.
The Imo river marks the boundary between Abia state and Imo State.There was a terrific accident that happened around the Imo River bridge where a big truck sent two jeep vehicles into the river and this event has caused a lot of traffic along the road and as such the driver of the vehicle that I was in had to ply the alternative route.
After journeying past the IMO river,it means we are closer than we started.Next was getting to Okpala junction and then turning towards the right side of the junction:The journey is getting closer now.
We got to the burial location around 10:00 am,it was a journey of roughly two hours.I met with the members of the bereaved family and sympathized with them before the corpse was taken to the church was the burial mass.
After the burial mass,the body of the deceased was brought to the family compound where other rituals and rites were observed in accordance with the Igbo traditional laws and the interment followed suit.The man was buried in his compound amid tears.Death is really an enemy,I feel for the children of the deceased who were my childhood friends too😭😭😭.
After interment,I entered a bike to my hometown.As a routine, whenever I get to the villa,I will move around the bush paths and small water bodies,it is always a good site for me.I love seeing natural vegetations and water bodies.Thats one of the features that the village is known for.The roads are always free flowing spacious and sandy.Thats also a point of attraction.After moving around these places of natural attraction.I returned home and had a meal and a good rest.
The Sandy and spacious villa road
After resting for some time,I was properly entertained by mum.She entertained me with food and plenty of stories 😀.I ate and continued to rest.Rest is a way of keeping our body in good shape and the stress of the day.
Thank you friends for reading my diary.Lets continue to post original contents on Steemit.

Hi @samuel20
Death is a painful occurrence and devastating to the immediate family, extended family and friends. A trip to be with the mourning ones is very comfortable. Also, your ability to preach the good news of steemit there is very important too.
A good time with mothers is very captivating and encouraging because knowledge and experience are shared via stories.
Thanks for sharing
