When I saw her checking out what seemed like transparent rubber sandals, I paid for it alongside my own purchases. When a sister in-law’s brother visited one day, he gave mama N3, 000 as he took his leave. The way mama was going on and on about the gesture could make outsiders believe the woman had not seen money before. That pair of slippers from her became a prized possession because only me knew the SACRIFICE that must have gone into that gesture. Make them say THANK YOU to you, too.
