Maureen Mezie, a strong hearted woman and wife of actor Leo Mezie revealed all the odds she faced during the period when her husband was very sick.
She said that some of her friends advised her to abandon her husband and remarry because it seemed as though there was no hope of recovery and being a young beautiful woman she still have a long years to live.
She said that in the whole period of trial she had never stopped interceding for him. Although there were times that she felt God was not going to answer but she prayed fervently as she kept on asking for God’s mercy upon her husband until she got the assurance from God that he will not die.
“I never gave up on Leo, even though due to frustration he became harsh and unfriendly to me most of the time but I knew that wasn’t him; that was frustration.I must confess to you, some people advised me to abandon him and go and start a new life since I still have a long way to go.
“His handsomeness, complexion at this time wee all gone. He was a shadow of himself. So, to them, what was I still doing with him?But, to me, that was not an option neither was it the reason I married him. I never headed their advice. Instead I was ready to fight the battle. My dear, it was tough, very tough,” Maureen said.
