TOUCHING STORY. From Bimbo,a parent! He started getting fever and endless disease attacks at the age of 4 I wondered what was wrong with him I took him to the clinic But they would treat this and rise another one My son is bewitched i thought One day the Nurse told me to carry out blood test I told her its of No use coz am safe so my son is safe too When she insisted i said its ok and the blood sample was taken Results came,not feared I approached and checked only to find my son is H.I.V Positive....... I and My husband were also tested but we were found H.I.V Negative how could it have happened We could ask ourselves Young as 4 years and a boy where could he have got it from? I started to do all i can so as to raise a healthy boy though H.I.V positive I and my husband decided never to tell Ricky about his status coz he was still young Years passed Ricky was growing stronger,i could see his back as he goes to school His bent shoulders mid-sized waist and then i would imagine those days when he will grow thin and i would cry What used to hurt me most was that i was not aware where my Innocent child got the Virus from One day Ricky came home crying and He asked me Mum is true am going to die??? I looked at him and asked him Who lied to you? Ricky: Children were laughing at me at school that i have AIDS and that am going to die soon I looked at him,he was 11 years now but still looking healthy and strong Then told him: My son you will grow more and more years,youre not dying soon Then he looked at me and smiled and went back to play I smiled back at him and as he turned away tears started dropping from ma eyes Two months later in the News They reported a Nurse who confessed that she was H.I.V positive and she transmitted the disease to young children who were once taken to her clinic through blood transfusion coz she didnt want to die alone I then remembered taking there Ricky when he was 2 years old Thats when i knew where my son got the virus from The following day,he became sad and said nothing to me I never wanted him to be sad so i had to ask him in order to relieve him He then asked me: Mum is it true i have AIDS?? I kept quiet and took time to explain everything to him,i told him how to live positively with AIDS My explanation seemed enough coz he was relieved but from then he lived under guilt When he was 13 years he came and told me that at school no one plays with him or sit with him or share anything with him that because other children said he would infect them with AIDS When he told me,i went into my room and cried As a parent,the worst thing experienced is seeing your child discriminated from others He started growing some complications at the age of 15 Endless fever rose again Medicines that he was using became less important The only thing that would make him better is calling his pastor talking with him The pastor would give him a word of comfort and then pray Thats when psychologically he would feel somehow relive After two years of on n off in the Hospital,going home,back to the hospital and alike My son called me in his room in the Hospital and said: Mum cry for me no more Worry no more I got this disease not because of ur fault neither my fault But it was work of the devil God knows am innocent and i know when i get to heaven There will be no more pain ill be rejoicing Dont let ur pain be a road block to heaven Always forgive and pray I enjoyed all the time with you and ill always love you Mum If am to return to this world again I will come through u I kept looking him in his eyes Tears coming endlessly my palm in his hair and i watched him losing voice as he said the last words I bowed down and and faced to the wall as i didnt want to see Ricky die Doctors soon came and prepared his body. Sharing this story with you though it brings me back to cold feelings and painful memories But i feel people should know that getting Virus is not the worst thing They should not envy and kill innocent people as they did to my son 2ndly People with AIDS should not be discriminated but should also be treated as others with love Thats why i request you to share this story. Pls #Nigerianwoman fan Share this on youR profile for others to read.
