Diary Of A Young Father

  Mum appeared to look like the most excited person on earth. She was all over my daughter, her first grandchild/grand daughter. She had already bought some baby stuffs. I would sit for hours and watch the baby suck all day long. With eyes closed, she knew where the breast was located and her cute lips stucked to it without compulsion. It was as if she grew per hour. Her cheeks swelled with pink blushes all over. I've never been prouder of such beauty.  The sleepless nights started rolling in as she woke up in the middle of the night to feast on the fountain of milk for hours. By morning, Sunshine was already exhausted and baby wouldn't mind but demand for a refill. After 7days, she was named "Smile Kesit-Abasi Loveday" . The name "Smile" came on the 1st of January 2019 and the native name came 2 months to her delivery. Everyone who saw her then couldn't help but admire her... She carried the beauty of God.

  It was a tuesday morning. I woke up with headache, blurry vision and weakness all over my body.

He said " YOU'RE YOUR NUMBER 1 PROPHET ".  At that moment, I laid hands on my head and prayed the sickness away. Immediately, I got healed...Wow! I felt my tongu

I learnt I was going to be a father in November 2018, that was doing my I.T period. I couldn't really sum up what laid ahead of me but I knew it wasn't going to be easy.

School resumed in january but I couldn't go as there wasn't money to return back talk more of paying my fees. I was at home for close to three months. My mates in school had moved on concluding I wouldn't resume again. Pst. Mbakara Obong as well as the mother of my beautiful daughter encouraged me to just wrap up my final year.
