Went to see a old customer yesterday at her office, she just got a new job as a branch manager in a financial outfit, i popped in just to give her a surprise and at the same time to congratulate her on her new job.
I was thankful that she was willing to spend some time with me, but jokingly she said that i was the respite from her busy duties, because to her i was always the joker.Not been able to catch up with her for quite a while now, and indeed it was sort of a reunion for the both of us.
She is in her late forties, a divorcee, husband left her about 10 over years ago, raised two children up single handerly, went through a major medical condition 2 years ago, thank god she didnt succumb to the illness.
When i was there looking at her, deep inside my heart, i was just thinking what was it really like being a woman? You fell in love with your sweetheart, you carried the babies in your womb for 9 months, albeit facing all the uncertainties and risks, he left you after so many years, you were suddenly lost, and the guys you meet now, you are not too sure if they are after your body or your money.
I guess no man can really understand what it is really like being a woman, unless we get f**ked by the man, get inpregnated by their sperm, carrying the womb for nine months, and suddenly we say,"F**k, why my ovulation suddenly stops, and it scares the hell out of me.", going through the morning sickness, the loss of apetite, the upset of the tummy, the funny movements of the womb, the cautious way of sleeping as not to disturb the womb, the sudden bleeding of the different color blood, the difficulty of walking when the tummy is balloning and for that nine months we are being traumatised with the concern if the baby will come out all right,and and not forgetting the labor pain that sometimes could last like there is no tomorrow and in the delivery room, we would be so scared if we could make it or if the baby could make it, may be then we will know what it is really like being a woman..
To you BeBe, i salute you, you have gone through hell and now you can taste heaven.

I must say being a woman is really hard. I can see that from my mother. She's the greatest person I have ever met in my life. :) I salute her for all the sacrifice and love she has gave us.
ReplyDeleteJust cared for you bro. have a nice day. ;)
ReplyDeleteit's tough to be a single woman..being a woman is actually quite pity, see a man can get marry again but a woman, will NOT.
