Life pains is necessary, life stress can be managed but not avoided and if we must live our dreams we must learn to turn our pains to power. If can but look inside you see that there’s a lesson we should learn from the pains.

31st June 2012, about 2122hrs, heavy rain all over the streets of Lagos with thundering;  Car engine starts, Jack turned and looked to his son and said to his wife “take it easy honey, he will be fine” she pulled into the high way, right behind her was a big truck, she tried doging the car intersecting her way and the side mirror brushed by the truck also jacking the passenger door where Ethan is sitting, one side of the car was lifted almost capsizing from the bridge, she screamed “JESUS!!!” immediately the truck stopped. She ran out to rescue her son and her husband who can only walk with the help of a wheel chair; she grabbed the truck on the right door and screamed to the driver “do you wan to kill us?” “am sorry it’s a break failure, I just don’t know what happened it responded again” “shit, JESUS  saved us again” “please take it easy” “my son is sick and we are running out of time here to take him to the hospital, I don’t know if you can help?”. Blipping sound starts coming, she traced it to her car, it was her brother Nate calling on Ethan’s phone “hello Nate” “I just checked the house and found no one” “yes; its Ethan again” “what is it again this time” “his temperature is rising and this time its very high, and we just had an accident” “what!” “On the high way, 10km from home please be fast, we need you” “ok”. “Honey we will be fine, Nate is on his way, ok that’s him” “get into the car. Where are we going?” “Ikoyi behind fantasy island is an island Hospital that’s the place” “your seat belt please” “Ok”. Island hospital 2309hrs “please is doctor Frank on duty?” Ethan’s mother asked the receptionist “yes, are you Mrs. Chime?” “yes” “he’s expecting you, the door behind your right at left end” she bang into Doctor Frank’s office without knocking “Doc the pills are not working” Frank looked at her and smiled “but the boy is not taking the pills, we don’t have injections at the moment and those pills are preferred than the injections. If he continues to resist the pills it can run his temperature and once he starts running temperature, it will start destroying his body cells living him with tiny hope to stay alive. Go and call Ethan and I will confirm to you that he’s not taking the pills” she left the office to where Ethan was seated “Ethan, tell me the truth honey, you know I love you” “yes mom” “have you been taken your pills?” “No mom.” Doctor Frank was standing behind them, he pulled a bit closer held Ethan’s hand and said “Ethan, I still do remember your great dreams and if you must live them take the pills and stay alive, you will be fine” “yes doctor” “thank you” “Mr and Mrs chime, good night, I will visit you over the weekend to see how he’s doing.”
