I always sit at front veranda thinking about how human life is a struggle and how we always win without even knowing it.This drives me to how we won those battles we dont even recognise.
This begins from the word sperm ,many are released and they swim towards an oocyte which is floating in one of the uterine wall. Well, only one sperm that is you will have a chance to fertilize that egg. 23 chromosomes from the sperm pair with the 23 chromosomes in the egg forming a 46 chromosomes cell who is you the zygote .The zygote divides and develops into a blastocyst with an inner mass of cells and a protective outer ring. By week 4,the embryo has a distinct head and tail and a beating heart. The embryo is attached to the uterus where it gets all the nutrients supplied by the umblical cord. God is holding your life, daddy going to work coming back to find a moody mummy and at that time she wants raw mangoes, in the middle of the night she wants bread and milk , it gets weird when she requests for bread and beans,have seen a pregnant woman eat that.Grandma brings fresh fruits for mummy just to keep you healthy. Around week 36,the process of labour begins.Imagine it happened at night, calling the driver at 3:00am , or maybe walking to the hospital at that time the piercing pain mummy feels which daddy feels at heart. In the first stage dilation , hormones stimulate downward of the uterine walls. This is when mummy starts feeling the brutally sweet pain which she will surely thank God for. Daddy and everybody are praying for your one life . You are in there trying to find your way out, fighting for your precious life.The word “push” sounds like pain itself but mummy knows I need to save a life. At some point I believe it is visiting death to bring a life. You have fought battles in your mothers womb ,battles that are hard to win but you become a victor. Then the small battles in the world make you feel like giving up. Do you even know that you drank your excrete to keep alive.
Before you think about it remember the tears and magical smile on your mothers face when she first looked at you. She didn’t know whether to smile or cry when she saw tiny like a cute little lizard . The time your father congragulated your mum after the struggle and only God could see the endless joy in his heart , the foutain of happiness and the river of hope that grew wider after looking at you. The dry tears in his eyes when you first called him daddy. The hope the entire community has in you. The prayers made for you in every corner of the house,every side of the road for u to pick a star and light your world.
And before you think of robing one of the most precious gift ,before you utter those poisonous words ,before you think about destroying a life, before you think about it, remember many people have struggled for that one life to live,many lives depend on it. Before you think about it call Jesus.
Before you think about it…we all matter.
