return home after going out to play. two days
of searching for them, their bodies were found
in a Lagoon. Facebook user, Onwuasoanya Fcc
Jones, shared the sad story. Read below
Could there be a worst tragedy than having to
see your grown up children taken away, just
when you are so sure you have got them for
keeps? At 11 and 14 years of age, parents have
started rejoicing and even counting the days on
when to start reaping the fruits of their
investment on their children. But when the
wicked hands of death chose such a time in
their lives to snap them away, then there is
little condolences can do.
When I spoke with these children's mother few
minutes ago, I didn't find the right words to
express my condolences, nor soothing words to
comfort a her for the loss of her children. It
would have been easier if these children were
sick, but for children who returned from school
and went out to play, only to be reported
missing and after two days, their corpses were
recovered from a lagoon, I do not know of a
worst heartbreak.
When I brought the bitter news of the
disappearance of these two angels to our
notice, yesterday, I didn't tell us then, how
closely connected to the case I am. Marvellous
and Godspower were my wife's first cousins.
Theirs is that kind of family, you never get to
know whose child is who, as cousins relate so
closely more than some siblings.
Nda Chioma, their mother is a fine soul, and the
last of my mother-in-law's siblings. Beautiful
like all of them. Young and hardworking, she
had the best dreams for all her children,
including these boys who have now joined God
in Heaven.
We can only imagine the pains of their parents,
but we should never pray to come close to
such experience in this life. This is the kind of
thing that tempt one to question God, but God
knows everything and whatever He allows, he
knows the reasons for sure. I am sure these
boys are in Heaven with their Creator, my
prayer is that God gives the parents, especially
their mother the strength to beat this grievous
loss''.
May their souls rest in peace (Amen)
