A Letter To My Late Wife, Jane

Posted by: lukwago J in Relationships July 19, 2018

Dear Jane,I still haven’t come to terms with all that has happened, my life has been topsy turvy and things have gradually gone from bad to worse. Ocen won’t let anyone take him to school since you left, he barely eats these days and is mostly on his own. I tried to wear Ajuro her diapers the other day and I made a huge mess out of it, even when your sister came home to help out with cooking, they refused to eat, saying it doesn’t taste like their mother’s food..

Jane, I remember the many times you begged me to at least spend some time with the kids but I always gave you the excuse that I was busy with work. I barely helped you out with chores because, I just felt it’s something a woman should naturaly do without complaining.

For my sake, you had to quit your job just to focus solely on catering for our children even when your bosses offered to increase your salary, you refused, because of your love and respect for me..

You accommodated my siblings and treated them as yours, all of them loved you so much and always flocked around you whenever they came over during the holidays, you were my rock, you held my family down and in one piece.

You barely cared about your appearance just because you never had the chance to take care of yourself, always looking out for the kids, my stomach and my overall happiness, all these i took for granted because i thought it was normal.

When you called to tell me to come help you fix the switch so you could blend tomatoes for dinner, i told you it wasn’t hard stuff to do, “epatana ibore ngin joda, imorikik owayai ngun and it will work, i’m busy with my laptop” those were my exact words, I could tell you were pissed because it was my favorite food you were about to make and I had woken you up from your sleep to make it.

Then I heard a loud scream and I rushed to the kitchen to meet your lifeless body, electrocuted, stiff and your eyes still.. I killed you Jane, I killed you even before you reached for that switch….

I was so selfish and self centered that I didn’t bother about my wife all because I brought in enough money to provide for my family.. I am so sorry my lady, my own children don’t even recognize me as their father because I was never there even when we lived in the same house!!

Please comeback Jane, I want to help you sweep the house, I want to wash the saucepan while you chop the meat, I want to help you wash your hair and take you shopping, I want to hear all about your day in the office and how your boss offended you, I want to be with you while Ocen tells us about his new girlfriend... Please comeback my heroine, my life is a mess!!

Yours Faithfully

A Broken Husband

NB: No matter the amount of money you make in this life, pay adequate attention to your wife and children, help her out with chores, money is never enough!!

Family should be your first priority before your job.
