"That crazy black girl"



A recent death of a friend's younger sister brought back memories of my traumatic asthmatic past and what I and my family went through because of my breathing condition. It got to a point where I started thinking and talking about killing myself because I didn't get why me? I almost had a surgery once cause I couldn't breathe through my nose.

it pains me that because a hospital didn't have an oxygen mask, Ogaga died. she didn't survive the journey to the next hospital. My heart contracted in pain and my tears kept flowing because I understand what her family have been through because I'm asthmatic and what they are going through because I also lost my dad a year ago. losing someone is an indescribable experience but Ogaga in her blog "that crazy black girl" couldn't have captured it better.

According to her "*sigh* When peace like a river attendeth my way when sorrows like sea billows roll whatever my....this song means a lot to me quite frankly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, its funny the year I heard it, was a horrid year (ironic yeah) it was that year when Stella Obasanjo and all those Loyola students died (God rest their souls) sad year, it was rendered by Chuto a girl in my school that year she had lost someone in the crash, and when she sang it I could tell it was from the depth of her soul. That year I remember I sat there in my seat crying and at the same time trying to be hard... You see death is something we just can't deal with I mean we lose people every day one would think it would get easier, hell we hope it would get easier but I just doesn't you still feel the pang, the silence the pain of where they used to be in your heart now silent lost forever.... You want to say don't go I still need you but there's just not the time you see, one minute they're there and the next they're gone *poof* just like that away from our lives our point of sight we can't pick up the phone and dial and expect them to pick but they don't cause they're gone..."

Ogaga has through her blog and famous tweets influenced a lot of people, we miss you and pray that the good Lord will grant your family the fortitude to bear their loss, fare well dear, "deuces"
