stood up “Something is not right, Get the car ready, let’s go home” He said while arranging his files “Yes sir” Dave went out of the office immediately…

Mr Robert stood at the front of his mother’s room, Dave and two guards were also with him, After Knocking the door several times without number and there wasn’t any reply from her, Mr Robert told Dave to get him the spare key, Within few minutes Dave came back with the key, Mr Robert opened the door and found his mother sleeping on the bed, he moved closer to the bed and sat on it, He tapped her and said “Mum what kind of sleep is this, I called your number several times without number but you don’t pick it up” *No response* “Mum, Mum” He tapped her over and over again, suddenly he shouted “MUM!

They told him to drink but he told them that he doesn’t want to drink, Not too long

Did he tell you what happened” He asked “I will advise you to let us go home please” Drew replied, Chris stared at him for awhile, looking so confused “Ok let’s go” He said while they all went out of the clubhouse”

Chris arrived at home, But he was surprised to saw his Dad, Aunt and few distance relatives,He was surprised to saw them crying bitterly, His Dad and some few men’s eyes looked so sorrowful, while the women are crying. Chris looked so confused and at the same time worried, Without saying anything to anyone, He walked in straight to his grandmother’s room, He found her on the bed but she was covered with a white sheet, He moved closer to her slowly, He removed the white sheet, He sat next to her and held her face with his two hands “some things are meant to happen, It is written that you will choose that path, and it is written that you will realize your mistakes, Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best, Never let a bad situation bring out the worst in you.

Just relax, Master the day, Then just keep doing that every day” Those are his grandmother’s last
