Its Not What Happens To You, Its How You handle it.
![image](https://img.esteem.ws/1wd4z55wzw.jpg)

That's my Mum. She's like my earthly God. Her birthday is in 9 days, 19th of this month. Sometimes I look at her and smile and she'll be like "what?" I always tell her nothing but deep down inside of me I'm surprise about the way she carry herself around like she has it all. She practically doesn't look like what she's going through. I don't mean to go too personal about my family but allow let into my family drama a bit.

My Mum hasn't been so lucky with marriage or should I say **the right man?** My dad left Portharcourt since 2008 and since then its been My Mum acting like A father and a Mother for me and my 3 Siblings. Her 3 kids are in the university and she just finished her masters and its not like she earns a lot from her job. But her intelligency is what has made fend for me and siblings. Funny thing is she's always lively , vibrant and full of life no matter the heaven burden she has to be bare alone as a single Mother and it really got me thinking **"Its not about what happens to you, its about how you handle it."**

Everyone has family issues here and there, some choose to spread their predicaments around while are choose to act everything is perfect in their various homes. Although my Mum cries out bitterly at home sometimes and I can totally relate to it because I know she's just being a human who's gat a heart. You don't have to let the world know what you're going through by crying our in public and look all pathetic. Maturity and perseverance is what makes you carry yourself without anyone guessing you're going through hell.

I want to be like my Mum when I grow up, I know the road won't be always smooth and my life won't be perfect with bed of roses so i want to be able to fight any challenge and issue life throws at me without any third party knowing about it.
