I had a cousin Haja, she was taking care of her mom and feeding her brothers and sisters when she was still a teenager. In 2006 she started getting sick. Then she asked me to make a pledge with her that if she dies I take care of her family or if I die she take care of my family. We laughed about it. But as fate would have it, she died in 2007 right before I moved out here. I didnt mourn her I just buried it deep and moved on... I was just tired. I actually convinced myself to forget about her but lately I couldnt stop thinking about her and her family because her family lives in Guinea and the Ebola epidemic is bad in Guinea. I was afraid to call her mom, I was afraid that I failed. And somehow today I manned up and called her family... Her mom and everyone in her family is safe and healthy... Just like that another chance has been placed in my palms. Sometimes whats right is right there but we just dont see it... But the good thing about life is shit is never too late :)
