Ezinma is the only child of Ekwefi who survives past the age of 5. Ekwefi does not wish to lose her oldest surviving child to illness, like many of Ezinma's sisters and brothers.
When Ezinma gets sick, part of Ekwefi is resigned that her daughter will die, (like her brothers and sisters) and she begins to grieve.
