A Typical Day With My Heroes In It
When I think of talking about a typical day in my life, my mind keeps on flashing back to someone very special to me, the memory we shared while I was growing up, and how much I miss them now that I'm far away.
My parents are my heroes. I talked about dad a little bit here. Yes, I used to love and cherish him for all he taught me and how he and mom trained me but these few months of me being a mom make me appreciate them the most. I now see more clearly their love and decision.
This made me miss him more, my mom left here in December after
spending a good three months with us so just speaking with her on the phone is enough for me as of now. but I haven't seen my dad since December 29 2021 on the day of my wedding.
The day they handed me over to my hubby and inlaws. I remember having teary eyes as they said their goodbyes as if I was leaving forever. We do speak on the phone from time to time but I miss all the things we used to do together.
My mind flashed back to how I used to look forward to the weekend because I know my dad always has one or two special treats for me. And mom's tender cares and love. I won't be able to visit them until towards the end of this year when I will be traveling home for the first time in two years, and if I make it there, here is a day I have in mind with them.
It is a holiday time, so we are having a full house. And for that day, the first thing I will do after our morning prayer will be to make arrangements for our breakfast. This can be tea, bread, and fried eggs. We will spend a little time at the table listening to one another and doing some catching-ups. I bet he will tell me about his farm work, his current challenges, and how he is handling them. Mom will tell me about his latest health update, reassuring me that she is taking her medicine from time to time without skipping any of it.
My other siblings will be at the table, telling us about their school life and their progress. On this visit, my dad will get to meet my son, his grandson for the first time and I can't just wait to see the priceless smile on his face and the happiness all over him when he sees him for the first time and he finds out I gave birth to his photocopy hehe.
In the afternoon, I will prepare his favorite local meal. pounded yam with vegetable melon soup. I can invite two of his close friends to join us and I know this will make him very happy. They can talk, laugh and have a fun time together. While mom and I on the other hand do some side jist, where she can tell me the latest in her family side.
While in the evening, once we are done with dinner, I can have a very personal time with dad, I can hear mom giggling in the background saying 'daddy Little wife is around. You can',t blame me, dads are girls' best friends right? This time just the two of us with no distractions whatsoever just to look into his eyes and say thank you dad for everything you have taught me. He will smile and say ' If we don't do it, who will?'
I can seek their advice and opinions about my incoming home decor business venture and I'm pretty sure of their support.
We can from here proceed to join the rest of the family watching our favorite comedy show ' the neighborhood in the sitting room with the company of my dad's favorite homemade apple wine 🍾 while we chat silently into the dead of the night.
Life is too short and I want to create as many great memories as I can with them now that they are still very much around. And oh! I will make sure I capture as many moments in the camera as possible with my phone.
This might sound very simple but it will mean a lot to me and my parents. There is more to enjoy when we keep things nice and simple don't you think?
I was thinking you are Philippines until I saw pounded and I guessed you are either from Ondo or Ekiti state.
You made me miss my dad and I envy for having a great father who cares about you even after you got married. I pray the day comes so you can spend beautiful time with dad and the rest of the family.
I wish you and the rest of the family happiness.
Smile, I'm from Kogi state in Okene L.G.A, and like Ekiti and Ondo state pounded yam is our local delicacy.
I hope your dad is still around and well.
Everyone is usually jealous of me and him, we share a very special bond even though I'm his third born.
Thank you so much dear @george-dee for wishing us well.
Oh, Kogi. My mom has a bond with the state but she lived in Ilorin where I was born before moving to Lagos.
My dad his fine, I haven't seen him since 2009 but I am glad he is doing fine.
I see,
Ilorin people and my people are closely related.
Glad to know your dad is doing fine. 2009 is a long period taught.
Lol sounds like you have your entire family reunion planned out already. I think it'll play out even better. Your dad might drop a tear or two holding his grandson for the first time. Isn't he such a cute boy? When the reunion happens, be sure to let us know again:)
He Is, I guess you can look him up in my previous posts, heh heh
That will be a cool sight to watch
I will surely talk about it here.
Thank you dear @depressedfuckup
Do have a beautiful time at your end and hope the Naira scarcity is not affecting you that much.
Haha I look Nigerian? I’m not.
Ghanaian here. Lol
Oh, yeah.
I forgot, and now I remember you mentioned that somewhere.
Thank goodness you are not facing what we are experiencing currently over here. !lol
I’m sorry about the situation in Nigeria right now. I’ve read so many articles if people complaining of how bad it’s gotten. I hope it’s handled soon.

That is a big memory to have with them and I pray God spares everyone´s life. Not seeing your Dad since 2019 is a big thing as you would have missed him a lot and I believe he cannot wait to set his eyes on his beautiful daughter again and his wonderful grandchild. What is better than that for parents seeing their grandchildren?
Thank you very much, dear. It will be a great reunion and I'm very much looking forward to it.
It will be by God´s grace.
Yes life is too short and nobody knows tomorrow, let us all live and make everyday count
Goodluck with all your plans @funshee
@ibbtammy dear,
thank you very much.
You're welcome
Having a loving family with whom you would like to spend time is so endearing - it truly is everything.
I am sure your father will be so proud to hold his twin. There will be tears of joy.
The memories created are priceless. You dream will come true and it will be so joyous. Something to look forward to.
I believe so, thank you so much @momogrow
