ONE DROP DELIVERY KADUNA :
We often rush through life without realizing how fragile time truly is. Watching this newly graduated soldier, standing tall in uniform, salute a photograph of his late mother broke me in the deepest way. In that single gesture, I saw pride, pain, love, and longing all at once.
She wasn’t there to witness his greatest achievement, yet her presence was louder than any applause. That salute wasn’t just a military gesture. it was a message: “I made it, Mama. Everything I am, I owe to you.”
It reminded me that parents don’t just raise us, they build us. With every sacrifice, every late night, every prayer whispered in silence… they pour their souls into our future. And one day, whether we like it or not, all we’ll have left are memories.
So while we still have the chance, let’s love them loudly. Let’s call them more often, hug them a little longer, and say thank you without waiting for a special occasion.
Because success means nothing if the people we’re striving for aren’t there to witness it.
May God bless all parents, those with us and those watching over us from above. ❤
