friend, Noma Oma Patrick, who just got married to a single
never-been-married hot dude.
Nora was married for some years, had
two children, suffered emotional and physical abusive, had the courage
to walk out and got married to a single fine man last December.
joy and started dancing. When I saw the wedding pictures, I couldn’t
contain my excitement. I was jumping up and down, happy excited and even
crying tears of joy, I told Nora her wedding got me more excited than
mine, I don’t think she understood, she must have assumed I was some
crazy person lol
Nora
got married very young, she was young and innocent, she assumed she
would like a life of happily ever after but soon that illusion was
shattered with abuse and serial cheating. The peak of her tumultuous
relationship with her ex was when she just had a baby and he wanted to
hit her on the hospital bed.
tried everything to make it work. She tried being submissive, more
submissive, see nothing say nothing. It didn’t work, it got to the point
that her ex husband’s mistress started calling her to threaten her that
she would get thrown out. She tried praying and fasting even consulting
pastors who claimed they saw several visions on how her home would be
restored, they took her money yet the nightmare remained.
Finally
Nora decided she was done, her ex was taken unaware, he begged her
small little did Nora know it was a plan to hide assets Anyway when Nora
finally left, she was left with NOTHING, she had to start her life
afresh with two kids and a serious and long custody battle.
Nora
didn’t give up and go back to her ex to beg, Nora wore her big girl
pants took responsibility for her life, her kids and got to work. She
worked as hard as was humanly possible, got her life back on track and
got to a comfortable place for herself and her kids.
Her mother
was her biggest supporter through this hard times The thing that
endeared me to Nora when I read her stories and the challenges with a
bad marriage was that Nora never ever turned into a bitter men are evil
hating woman.
She was still Nora, kind, trusting, caring and
still believed in love On her wedding day Facebook almost crashed with
so many beautiful pictures, because Nora is the sweetest person you can
ever meet, loyal to a fault even when sometimes you feel she is letting
people take advantage of her but Nora just takes it all so gracefully
and flashed her killer smile Nora would send beautiful packages for
several friends and their kids, if you tell Nora you love a dress Nora
would inbox ask for your size and send.
So Nora met this young, fine, Hawt never been married dude who was kuku begging for over a year for Nora to marry him.
See,
most times women would refuse to leave dead end marriages because
according to them nobody would marry them again after kids, some would
say they can only marry divorcees and widowers but Nora married a brand
new Igbo man, Canadian citizen no visa wahala has his own great paying
job and money before bad belle people will say na money the man dey
find. Sadly she lost her mother two days to her wedding.
Here is a
toast to Nora and her handsome husband, wishing them all of life’s
beauty and grace. For those who stay in bad relationships because they
do not want to make adult decisions for their safety and that of their
kids I hope Nora inspires you today. Great things happen when you take
charge of your life.
