Today is just a day to 17 years since you settled for bliss.. I honestly don’t know if it gets better with time or just every other year am more lost without you around but well, am fine.. God has been a great father.. just that sometimes when am sitting and talking to Him, I can feel his presence but I can’t step on his back.. neither can I ask him to personally bring me chocolates..
Well, you are missed. Every year more than the other year.
As usual every year, I just want to update you..
You remember I cleared school, right? Uhmm.. I hate to break this to you but apparently am the brightest you will ever get. Your other two sons are growing old in campus and instead of 4 years they will graduate on next, which is 5 years after they joined.. haha.. I hate to laugh but haha.. a degree takes 4 years to clear.. just like I did.. apparently these two are dumber than we thought dad.. am sorry but well, at least am bright..so all is not lost. I wwon’t mention the reason they haven’t cleared is because there was a lecturers strike..
Leave those two.. Your oldest son has graduated to a drama king.. oh that one gonna kill me one day. On the brighter side, he has very beautiful daughters.. they definitely take after me. I wish you met them. They are just lovable. Your son though.. smh..
Your ugly son Sam is doing awesome.. I told you he got a wife, right? I honestly don’t know how the poor girl got tricked but well, she somehow got convinced.. it’s either mom’s prayers or black magic.. I want to believe in prayers..
The news is, you gonna be a grandfather again.. soon. I can’t wait to be aunt Winnie. However, his wife and I are continually praying that thekid inherits my beauty and brains or the mother’s.. if he iinherits Sam’s looks, we are in trouble.. They are happy though.. Sam is so excited that it’s contagious..
He won’t let me breath. He keeps telling me to get myself married.. I wish you could help me convince him am still your young girl.. very young indeed..
Moving on from Sam, your beautiful daughter is still growing.. she still got dimples. There dad you played me, I was supposed to inherit all the good genes. You played me sir.. you played me. Now she looks way more beautiful and she even has the guts to be younger than me.. ugh!! Her hair too, dad honestly you are a deal breaker. It’s silky.. it’s long when I have even been fasting for mine to grow. Let’s not dwell on this one.. she
Wasn’t supposed to look that good.
Your last born son is soo tall.. oh my goodness.. that one should join the army.. he got the advantages.. he can run, he is dark that no enemy can spot him.. he towers over me.. however we have a problem.. he is too soft hearted. He took after mom’s heart.. honestly nature played him. He is just the best brother ever. He is like a tall teddybear. He actually cleared school and being sister of the year, am yet to find out what he scored.
Now sit down.. guys are running after your youngest daughter. We are all praying she doesn’t get married before me.. it’s bad for our family image. Plus, she got two more years of high school to do. She is soo pretty and spoilt..
Am sure you are bored now, well, your wife is doing well.. allow me to laugh but now she can’t scold us anymore. Her army years are done and now all she does is shake her head. She is all soft and grandmother to her granddaughters.. I wish I was her grand daughter. I would have escaped some spanking I swear.. she still looks beautiful. She is a mother hen.. she still defends us like our mother and father. She acts like it’s better since you left but I highly doubt. She still speaks as if you left yesterday and I have heard her wish several times that death would just be a journey. She would somehow be expecting you back.. and she keeps saying she knows you would be soo proud of her. In her eyes no man will equal to you.
Don’t dare mention this but I heard her be rude to some guy, that in your grave you are more a man than that guy will ever be. I didn’t know whether to laugh, pity the guy or cry.
Anyway, am fine I think.. I will write next year. I do wish it’s a journey you left for. Every day would be a chance to hope and look forward to..
I hope you are resting well.. so long Dad.. so long.. one of these days we shall meet up. Forgive me but hopefully not soon..
Love you!!
