BEFORE spinning my yarn for today, let me say a big thank you to everyone who has sent me a mail to wish Nii Friday and I well. Awww, you have a way of making me feel loved. That’s why I don’t take you for granted. Naa Atswei is the one who’s been feeling a bit jealous. I try to make her not to feel attention-deprived.
Thing is, she feels like a mother to her brother. I remember how she hugged my knees tightly when I got home from the clinic with her brother. “Mama, baaaaybi, has come. My baayyybi has come. We will play”. I couldn’t blame her for claiming him her “baaaaybi”.
Her father and I had told her incessantly about how the baby in my “stomach” was hers, how I would go to the hospital to baby removed by the doctor, etcetera. And oooo, we had lots and lots of explanations to give her before and after delivery.
