If a magic genie could grant you one — and only one — wish, what would that wish be, and why?

I know there is a Bible portion that says that "God gives and he takes", another one also says "He knows, his plans for us are of good and not of evil, to give us an expected end" but regardless of those Bible passage and many more that makes it feel easy to have comfort that everything that has happened or is happening to us has a reason or his for a reason, If I see a magic genie could grant me only wish, it would be the magic to bring back my mother.

I won't lie, her death took off a lot of thinking, anxiety, tears, and pain especially since she died as a result of a lifelong illness that we've tried to manage and the pains she was in for the past years until her demise, was so unbearable that I prayed most times for peace, and it came but I miss her, I am not sure there is a day that goes without me thinking about her.

My emotions are not stable, I am not properly healed, most days I think if there was something different that I should have done that may be we would have been able to avoid her death, most days I feel so overwhelmed that I wish her calls could come in, so. I could tell her how I was doing, what happened, and who hurt me in between everything. On other days I wish I had done something different, I wish I could tell her the many things I didn't want to tell her because I know her to always be ahead of herself.

I want to hear her voice, I want to tell her how I felt hurt about what someone did to me and listen to her try to pacify me with her words, I want to have us banter about what she did wish I felt was wrong, I had planned to execute a project for her and its just a month remaining and I won't be able to execute it for her because she is no more, I spoke about the project to someone today and realization sets in again, that you are no more and the plans I had that included her will no longer include her but just myself. Those birthday plans I had for you but kept postponing because I always forgot (typical me) or I had no finances at those moments, to even realize I have no pictures of her because she gave birth to herself, two people who didn't see the need to snap pictures.

Summer, dry season, wet season, or fall — what is your favorite thing about the current season in your country and/or the thing you dislike the most about it?

Yesterday, I and my neighbour decided to go out to throw our waste, and half way through the joinery, we ran as if we were acting fast and furious back home, only to get to our house and the weather cleared, so we had no option than to start our journey afresh with grumbling and since none of us had umbrella, we had to hold our heart in our hands, praying it doesn't pour down heavily and thanks God, it didn't until we got home half way home by the way. Currently, on my bed and enjoying the cool breeze entering my room, the fall of raindrops, and the sound of it on my roof, while I make this post and I think I am enjoying this more than I am used to.

It's the wet season in this part of the world, Nigeria of course, the favourite thing I love about the wet season, is the cool weather it comes with, and I think I have more reasons why I dislike the wet season than I love it, I mean, if rain falls into the hours of the morning, and I am expected to go work, not only will I find it difficult moving but there is every opportunity that I will get drenched by the rain especially since I don't have an umbrella and I don't like it, I prefer the night rai, because I am indoor and do not plan to go to anywhere in the night.

Also, fear of having wet clothes, because the rain can choose to fall at any time it likes, no one has control over it, so it pours down wherever it likes, so when one is planning to wash, we just have to pray a prayer ot two to the heavens to help us hold down the rain for that day because clothes must be washed and for us who has no option than to do manually, have to or have pilled up of clothes. I am not going to lie, I love the wet season but it is just for one thing, a cool room, the dislikes are more than the likes for this season.
