I know you write beautifully well, but this has to be the most heartfelt, beautiful and genuine piece I've ever read from you.

Gosh the write up wasn't about my parents but I kept smiling and 'Awwwning' away.

May the love that was evident in every line of this piece continue to bloom forever. Aameen.

I could remember when I wrote my Post-UTME, and the score was terrible, and my dad said, "Everything will not always go our way, and there is no reason to cry about it. Rather, we should always be thankful," and he said, "I am proud of you."

The sweetest memory of Mom was during her work leave:

The afternoon Eba and efo, new dresses, and how she is always on the praying mat when we come back from school.
