Hello my name is Accrean, I am equally your age and beautiful like you are or your sister/girlfriend, and this
is my story.

I did not envision it to this point neither would you to a point that I would write this story suffocating
in tears. I come from a blessed family that I can brag about, but not blessed to an extend that we can
overcome the burdens of the earth.
The reason to this is because my mother has been battling cancer for the last 18 years. This was her
deepest encrypted secret but as per now “things on the ground are different” as the saying goes. This
year the virus stroke heavily to an extend that she couldn't discern it. Her secret was no longer a
secret, because a secret belongs to one person but this one had to be shared even though it did not sound
pleasing to the ears or welcoming to the heart. On knowing that she has been battling cancer my heart
halted for few seconds before reality hit me and felt like it was a KO
now that I had a third eye, my mind began boggling with questions and I asked her “why did you not
tell me before” she stared at my face and, her eyes clogged with tears and I would see that she lacked
words. Then she sadly told me that she was trying to protect me since I was a kid I would not understand
a single thing. I scratched my mind as if I was not convinced  with the answers she gave but then I
realized that she needed me more today than yesterday.
My dad whom I see on photos, died while I was young through an air crash. So my mum has been the
pillar of my life.
It is said that everyone has cancer cells and it needs only one thing to trigger it and it dominates. For
my mum I guess that the tragic lose of her husband and a father triggered the miserable cells. Away
from that. Now that the truth was bubbling in the thick air I could not stop overthinking. So I went back
to school though my mind was double diverted and I felt like she needed me more than the school. Its only that
she insisted that I resume for school and this time round she was responding well to medication, and it
would be nice to listen to her. I planned that I would be visiting maybe twice a week and spend
the weekend with her.
