Netizan narrates his observations after the death of his father

No matter how useless a man is, once he dies the household of the family strength changes. It might not be financially rather emotionally and physically.

Here are my reasons

My dad is a man who drinks alot to the extend we the children are embarrassed for him because we can’t go to functions he goes to… because as he goes, he comes back in a different way.

So we do everything possible to avoid where he is at, but on some occasions we cant..depends on how close the celebrant is. Then we bore it in mind that that day we might get to hear something that offends us.. the shame and embarrassment and might retaliate or ignore.

Being one of the senior men alive, they always come to pay homage everytime despite being the way he is..to settle dispute and to also pray for them.. and also tell them about history how we related and mention names of our forefathers, tracing back their Roots step by step..he knows all..because his father also told him. so they respect him for that as an elderly man even though dry gin is his best friend. all they can do was to talk and laugh behind his back. When he’s sober they dare not make jest of him.
I repeat they dare not.

But now he’s been dead about 4years ago and I tell you we that normally get the first invitation of marriage ceremony or any functions happening in the extended family no longer gets invited.

Nobody has come in to ask hwfar from us the children since he was buried. They see us as not important since the elderly man is no more.

Our family house that used to trooped in by different new faces almost every week don’t see it no more

I am not talking about money here, I am good… But even if I don’t have…my elder brother who is a graduate the back bone is there…but I am just stating the obvious fact…

THAT everybody has use no matter how useless you perceive them to be and one day you might get to realise that.

The thing is that during those period we don’t even take it as anything. Instead we the children gets angry whenever they comes to inform him for a function because we know that week we will not sleep at night…but as it has its advantages so those it has it disadvantages.
