But they kept their friendship alive with visits. They have grown to be sisters than just friends. After their service they were both employed at prominent firms. Mary worked as a doctor before joining a research medic while she built a hospital in her hometown, and two more at different locations in the country, to which she became the director. It wasn’t long before she got married to a humble medic researcher. That was the happiest day of her mother’s life. She now had reply for those who told her that training a woman is a waste of time. Indeed, she has proved them wrong, for they all now benefit from the hospital in their town, she (Mary) has brought a light to them all. Uzoma regretted all the time she wasted talking and bragging about male and female children instead sending them to school and giving them what they deserve. She came to understand that each has the capacity of being a light to their homes and society.

Flora practiced her career as a pharmacist and was married to a business tycoon. They lived in the country side away from the city. She also gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Mary had two children, Teresa and Philips, but not twins.

As they both came together for Flora’s twin dedication, the talked at length and reflected on how far they have come, and how those who quit and who were in a haste to make it either dropped or were dropped by life itself. They held hands and prayed, all is well that ends well. She had a name to be thankful to God for Chidalu, indeed God be praised.
