Do not despise d days of little beginning

A story about my uncle. He married his wife when he was a sales boy in a shop. Things were actually rough for him and unfortunately,his mother inlaw was a torn on his flesh because he was broke. His mother inlaw had two daughters, one was my uncle's wife while the younger sister was married to a very rich man then.

Visiting his wife's family was a nightmare for my uncle. Any time the wife's family is gathered, his mother inlaw will be calling him several unpleasant names. she even went as far as calling my uncle a mistake of an inlaw. And her other son inlaw was giving her money anytime she asked.

In my uncle's presence,she will be saying that she has only one son inlaw. Even when my uncle's wife tried to caution her she wouldn't listen.One day,her niece was getting married.while the wedding was going on,she asked my uncle to go and be serving tables and arranging chairs. When her daughter asked her why,she said,my uncle can't be useless in all aspects, since he does not have money to contribute,he should serve table.While all these were going on, my uncle struggled to graduate from the university and got another job.

One fateful day, news came that her other son inlaw,was arrested by police, that they were needed at the station and when they finally got to the station,they were told that her son inlaw was an armed robber that has been on wanted list for years.
That was how that man was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment.

On the other side,my uncle was getting better in his place of work.He got promoted and well paid.Now,he is the bread winner of both his immediate family and inlaws. He built a house for his mother inlaw who is a widow.Till today,his mother inlaw is living in shame and regret. She is doing everything possible to pacify my uncle.She curses her other son inlaw daily. Presently,she does not do anything without d consent of my uncle.

That is life,never conclude on anybody that u didn't create.God can turn things around in a moment. it's foolishness to look down on a young person that has not given up on his or herself.
