It's often said that a mother owns the home. If you haven't heard of it, it's okay, I just typed according to the influence of my mind.
My foundation as a child was built on the Yoruba cultural aspect of greetings, where when waking up in the morning, greeting in our dialect is a must till date.
Aside from these cultural aspects, my mom is a specialist in her religious beliefs.
Looking for a woman who could fast for 6 months without meal? Talk about my mother.
I would say her religious belief is even more stronger than her traditional. I remembered the period of my grandma’s burial, the family were to perform some ritual as per tradition after the corpse is laid to rest, my mom strictly refused to partake because of her belief.
In her opinion, things like rituals is against her religion and it would surprise you to know that her refusal affected everyone's refusal in my family including my dad, no one dared attend the ritual part of the burial simply because my mom refused.
Even though sometimes we feel that she goes extreme in her way of thinking because of what she strongly believes in, we at the same time find ourselves fortunate to have a mom like her.
And that's because, when that woman goes on her knees to pray concerning your matter, there's always positive results that follows and so we don't joke with her in that aspect.
By the way, I wasn't exaggerating when I said my mom goes for 6 months fast at a stretch and I believe that's a major concern for my family and i. She sees it as a challenge and increases the length every year. Honestly, we're afraid that she might just wake up one morning and chose to fast for a whole year😪 and there's absolutely nothing we could do about that than to talk and talk and at the end make provisions for the fruits needed.
