Happy Father's Day

This morning, I found Alex and Samara lying in bed and sharing father-daughter moment. Samara was there telling a story in her 17month old language and Alex despite not understanding, encouraged her to continue talking.














On 19th June, we celebrate Father's day. I am so glad to have a husband like Alex and happy that he is the father to my daughter. As we grew up, I used to hear friends say how scared they were of their fathers. Whenever they would hear his footsteps, they would scatter for safety. The other day, I was feeding Samara and when we heard the door bell we all rushed towards the door. Samara is very fond of Alex and gives him a hug and kiss then off loads his off whatever he is carrying. If we walk in through the door the both of us, she first runs to him, hugs him then remembers I also needed a kiss. 

Truth be told, I don't mind that she hugs him first, I don't mind that she composed a song for him first, I don't mind the moments they share together and I also do not mind that she looks like her father because I know he he is a good and real father. He strives to give his family the best, to make memories together and am so happy to be married to him.

You were the first to bath her when we brought her home, you are quite bold I must say. You would ensure the water temperature is fine,the room is warm,  you would put some music and sing along as you bathed her.That I will never forget.




 Babe(Samara has been calling him baby and honey she doesn't get that's for mum& dad only), I am the happiest wife and mother. I am so glad you love us unconditionally and you give us your best. We truly appreciate you and say you are the bestest father in the whole wide world and we love you. Thank you for being a loving father to Samara, thank you for teaching her that home is where the heart is and  is safe for her. Thank you for creating that environment where she can be herself, she can be disciplined with love, she can be embraced and acknowledged.Thank you for being there in her good and bot so good times. I look froward to when she will be able to tell you thank you,but for now on her behalf , I will say thank you so much.

You are an amazing father and we love you dearly. Happy Father's day.

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...
