She was excited when the pregnancy came, but didn’t know her joy would be three in one,until the Medical Doctor said so.
The joy of a wife is being fruitful to the family of her husbands’ and not waiting to start visiting different Churches and spiritual homes for help.
The happiness that parents derive from children in families is unprecedented, especially when they start growing up in the Lord.
Tending to one child after birth is not always easy, not to talk of when they are twins, triplets quadruplets and beyond. And that is when parents cry out.
Some families always pray to have them like that because they are special gifts from God.
But when the naughty ones arrive, then, your problems are multiplied and that is when the lamentations begin.
For 31 year old mother of triplets, Mrs Ada Benny Abel, she will always be grateful to God for keeping her children alive after birth
He told The Razor News, that her triplets were in incubator for three weeks after giving birth to them through cicerian four years ago
The lady who hails from Umuaka, Orlu in Imo state, but married to Nkerefi man in Nkanu local government area of Enugu said, they are blessings from God, and at the same time, pains
Benny, lamented that taking care of triplets is one of the most difficult tasks on earth.
The four year old triplets were named Chibuikem, Chibuzor and Chunedum.
According to Mrs Abel, ” they can give you headache and people refer to them as bed bugs ”
“they will keep you restless through out the day and those things you tell them not to do are the ones they will delve into ”
“It’s difficult for me because their father is not around and I’m the only one taking care of them and being boys, you know how difficult it will always be ”
Asked about the whereabouts of their father, she said she went in search of greener pastures.
She added that it was the reason for her lamentation because “it’s always difficult for one person ”
The 2016 graduate of Accountancy from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Unizik in Anambra state, said people had been good to the triplets and herself since after their birth.
She said “we are thankful to God for giving them to us immediately after our marriage because this is what people go to the prayer houses and shrines to seek for every time ”
“we pray to God to give us the wherewithal to train them and for them to become useful to the society ” Ada Benny Abel prayed
She said the only thing that keeps the family going is her little provisions shop at ifite road in Awka, adding that it has not been easy for her
“I’m going through pains to give my triplets the good things of life and they have started school already ”
“It is not easy feeding them, clothing them and making sure they don’t go astray and you know being a woman and taking care of three of them will not be a Tea Party ”
“Despite the pains one is going through in bringing them up, I think it’s the Joy in bringing them to the world that is higher ” the young lady said
