Husband and Father

Mrs Anderson stood outside with Celine after the call with Camile ended. Sigh "I hope your sister would be alright. She has not left us in a long time, so I'm worried she might worry too much of how we'll fare since she's not here."

"Yes Camile can be like that but she's also strong, you know that and this wasn't planned she knows it too, it's not her fault I hope she understands that. I also hope she takes things easy on her side because if she continues worrying like this about us it'll be too much for her to handle and it may bring her down. And you Mom you worry too much that's why she worry a lot too. She got that from you. Calm down Camile is no longer a child and she'll do well for herself. See much does, she can handle anything on her own so don't worry she'll be fine. If you fall sick you know she will abandon the interview and rush down here and we don't want that for her so stop worrying and relax ok. Celine told her mother. Although she was worried about how Camile will cope for a week in a place she has not been to before, she trusted her sister and she knows she will be fine. Ever their mother fell sick she took upon herself every responsibility of the family. She hustled day and night, working herself from dusk till dawn to provide for them. For her fees and their mother's medical bills. Everything they had now was all thanks to Camile. She worked herself so much,did so many part time jobs till she opened a grocery store for their mother, although it was big and made good sales, they were only able to restock the store from the profits made and pay their mothers medical bills due to it been huge it costed more than a million for every month. If not that they'd have been well off by now. Camile was blessed and favoured that whatever she sets out to do she gets good good results. But because she took it upon herself to take care of their mother she had been spending almost all of her earnings on her bills and she has never relented she never misses a month or go a day later for their mother's monthly checkups. So she trusted her sister, she will be fine. She has adored Camile because not everyone would so what she does or be as responsible for them like she does. She took the position of a husband and a daughter to their mother and a father and elder sister to her. She really love her sister and prays that all her kindness and goodness pays off. She's really praying Camile gets the job because she has been working and praying for the interview to go and come out to her favor. She wanted the job so she could do with extra cash and save for the dream she plan to achieve very soon. Well she hopes when Camile comes back she will bring good news. "Mom lets go back inside we don't want you catching cold and I'll have to deal with you alone."

"To say you can't even take care of your mother by yourself. But don't I'm not catching any cold ok. I'm just enjoying the feel of the cool breeze on my skin."

"Then after enjoying it you'd catch a cold? No way Mom."

"Relax Celine I'm not child and I'll know if I'm cold. Let's just enjoy the view of the night sky a little longer before going inside. Your sister is not around it might become too boring."

"Don't worry Mom we'll get by just fine. What we need to do now is give Camile our prayers and blessings."

"Yeah you're right." Then silently they stared at the stars in the sky each with her thoughts and each praying for the best for their daughter and sister.

"You know I feel like this will bring a huge blessing to her. I feel like after this she can finally start to relax. Maybe this is all for good."

"Yes Mom I feel that too and I pray desperately that it comes true for her. If she gets the job she can start the corporation she's always wanted. You know after she's work this hard it won't be a surprise if rises to one of the best in her field in a few months. She'll will create wonders if she is given the opportunity to start." Celine replied.

"I pray the heavens help her. She has come a long way. I wish I can do more, do better for her instead of saddling her with my problems and responsibilities." Mrs Anderson sighed heavily. "But I promise I'll rise now and help my daughter achieve her dreams. I owe her that much as her mother." She said as she made up her mind to rise and for both her daughters. She's no longer going to lie down and watch her struggle so much for her and themselves, she'll over this illness and go back to being the woman she was. She promised herself.

"Mom come on, You know Camile does this because she loves us and rather go through all this than sit and do nothing. But after my intern is over I promise to work just as hard as she does to relieve her of some of the responsibilities she is shouldering. And my intern is going to last for just a year so we just have to wait a little longer but before then I'll do all I can to help out."

"You know having you and Camile is mercy I received else I don't know what would have become of me by now."

"Don't say that, we're just as glad that you are our mother and we'll always love you no matter what comes our way. Now that's enough for today let's go back inside."

As she turned to back inside the house Mrs Anderson knew that this is the beginning of a bright future for them. They are leaving behind anything and everything that had held them back all this while and they'll push hard to make sure they overcome whatever comes their way.
