I was thinking itās all lies and that you are coming back but Iām afraid I was wrong.
The father of my kids, that I met at an impressionable age, left when it was least expected. Whenever I tell people that the bond we share can be likened to that of a āSiameseā, having been married to you at age 19, they are more that transfixed.
We were practically best of friends, but the moment they had an inklings about whom your favorite was, everything flopped.
Alas! the kids and I canāt see you anymore nor converse with you any longer but I vehemently believe you are seeing us, how I wish we can still have few words because Iāve got a whole lot to tell you. Iām bereft of what to tell the boys especially, Adejuwon, because at his age, he reads and and surf the net so much that curiosity gets hold of him and has already know a lot about you.
You remain to me, a best father, teacher and mentor and husband that ever bestrode the landscapes.
