It was February 2022 when a news reached our family and when I made one of the biggest decisions of my life.

February 2022

My aunt (mama's sister) told us about her kidney disease and that she needed a transplant for her to be able to live longer and have a better health and life. It was a sad day for us, especially for my mama. My aunt has been a very special part of our family because she was always there whenever my mama needs support and help. It was also saddening to hear that her kids and husband were not allowed to donate due to blood type differences.

A question popped in my mind "what if I donate mine to my aunt?". And so my research began about what it's like to become a kidney donor. I learned a lot of cool stuff through my research, like how a person can survive with only one kidney and still live a normal life and do normal things like everybody else, how having only one kidney will not shorten your life span. After also talking to some strangers in the internet who are also kidney donors, I have made up my mind and decided to become my aunt's kidney donor.

The decision was based on me not wanting to lose her as she has been a big support system for my mama, and also wanting to let her live a better longer life that she deserves. I imagined that I would be devasted if she would be gone and I did'nt even do anything to try to help or save her. A part of me remembered a memory from college, the very heavy feeling of not being able to save someone, a feeling that I will never forget and a feeling that I don't want to feel again, it played a part in making my decision.

Time is of the essence when you are talking about matters of life and health, and so I stepped forward to become a donor as early as possible. We started with work ups and procedures right away on that same month. I quit smoking and drinking, changed to a healthier diet, exercised and went to the gym. After lots of tests, we are a match!

Fast forward to October 2022, we just had our transplant and my aunt is still in the hospital because her new kidneys are still under observation to make sure that it functions well and fine, I heard she's doing well so far and I hope she continues to be well. As for me, I am now recovering at home with a 6-inch incision on my torso.

8 months of work ups

Tons of laboratory tests

Quitting my vices

Switching to a healthier lifestyle

A month of recovery

A few weeks of hurting

It's all worth it if it means giving someone a better health and life.

The absentee parent.

I have a father who has always been on the outskirts of my life. The only way he knows how to love is by throwing money at us kids but being that I'm the youngest I saw the least amount of money thrown at me, both by choice and circumstance. My father should definitely be in therapy but he is a proud broken man so when the subject of money comes about he automatically thinks that's all we want him for.

I donated a kidney to my brother and while I was in the hospital room my father and step mother sat there telling me that if I ever needed financial help to buy my home or start my business they would gladly help. A year later I bought a home and started a business all on my own. Now this house is old, like 1900s old with an original kitchen, with the way inflation was going we received multiple quotes for a kitchen remodel coming in at 60k+ so at this point I thought it might be a good idea to ask dear old dad to help. Upon asking he told me that I was asking for too much, even though all I asked him to do was 'help' not pay for the entire thing and soon there after we stopped talking for six months.

I was not mad about the fact he wouldn't give me any money I was hurt that he didnt even want to help. He bought my brother a house, bought my sister a house in the Hamptons+ built her a pool, bought my siblings my multiple vehicles, paid 90k for my step sisters wedding, and sent my step brother through school and here, after 32 years, when I finally ask for help for a kitchen remodel he shoots me down and cuts communication.

After 6 months of no contact and with my wedding coming up I finally start asking family members why he hasn't called me. It gets back to me that he's telling people that I only call him when I want money. Now I made a point to call him once a week, every week because he'll never reach out, in fact I can count the number of times he's ever called me on both hands. After hearing what he's saying about me I call my step mother to get her opinion on the matter. This might or might not have anything to do with her answer but she is incredibly religious, my father is not.

We talked for a good 30+ minutes about the whole situation. To make a long story short she told me that I have to make more of an effort to make my dad love me. To work harder on our relationship like her daughter (only his by marriage) did. That I needed to make him feel loved and accepted for who he is and should show grace and forgiveness. She said that when I was in high school I pushed everyone away and that it just got "exhausting" trying to keep in contact with all the kids so she stopped trying. I was a child at that point and through my adult life had built our relationship up, or so I thought.

I am the ONLY kid of his that has never expected anything from him, I never expected him to be a parent to me and our relationship was by far the easiest for him to maintain. I never expected him to show up to my horse shows, help me through college, buy me a car, or be involved in my life more than a once a week phone call, unlike my siblings who demanded he go to their kids dance recitals, pay for their luxury purchases, and generally be involved in their family's life.

If he had told me that he couldn't afford it and money was tight, or quite literally anything about why he just couldn't manage it right now I would have understood but instead he just cut communication and I was hurt by that alone. It is not my job as his child to *MAKE* him love me, especially when I have done nothing to strain our relationship. I really thought that he would have reached out before 6 months but I honestly think that it could have kept going on had I not made the call.

So to all those people out there with absentee parents: It is not your job to make that parent love you, especially if you have done nothing wrong. It is their job as a parent to love you. You are not worthless, it is not your fault, and their decision to be a part of your life is not fully on your shoulders. You are loved.

This Yoruba Lady Wants To Donate Her Kidney To Ekweremadu's Daughter . .............. The lady identified as Martha said she saw it in her dream that she needs to help the sick child of the politician. Few days ago, Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, were arrested and arraigned before a UK magistrate court for allegedly bringing in a 15-year-old boy into the UK for a procedure where his kidney was to be harvested and transplanted to their daughter who has a kidney disease. According to the prosecutors, a red-flag was raised after the passport of the donor claimed that he was 21 but at the hospital, he told the doctors just before the procedure that he was 15. The procedure was stopped since he was a minor and was asked to go home. He found his way to the police station where he alleged that he was being treated as a "slave".
