Homecoming diaries 3

-

 Days turned dark, months into years and the smiles continued fading, creating a moody atmosphere. You can imagine our baby girl is about to turn 10. Such precious moments require happy moods, but our Sarah is grumpy.


Making matters worse, the press released a deceased member list of the US Navy personnel & announced that the missing individuals are believed to be dead since they searched everywhere, and no trace was found.

"At least Floyd's family laid him to rest, my husband's corpse or legacy is being held with zero dignity," Edith mumbled as she wept bitterly. It was a night routine, soaking the pillow with tears and depression slowly crept in. The Smiths turned from a happy family to a sorrowful one. It even got worse that they could not afford living in their house and became homeless.

A caring group of Christians had them sheltered in a nearby church, made provisions for their basic needs and offered psychological help too. Edith and Sarah made positive progress.

Stay tuned for next Episode!!!

Thank you😊

I'm so excited writing my very first article, Life. We always claim to be brave or courageous but if things don't turn as expected we crush, crumble and break. Life is always determined by your attitude towards it, also your perception of things. I have decided to express myself using a poem. Life, Life, Life One moment you are here, next Miles away... East and west you go, High and low you travel Searching for greener pastures, Ending with "life isn't fair" statement  Whoever said, 'life is rosy?' Every day  you wake up, Expecting a transformed world,  Yet, nothing changes Complains, intolerance and the like always fill your mind. Always remember, life goes on. Trials and tribulations follow you Yet, a beam of light is always visible In the darkest corners of your life. You got the power to define you Drive yourself to your destination  Take charge of your life. poem by Queen Nnessy  Despite...

 Patience, a name I would have given myself, maybe when called, I will reminded to exercise it, hahaha, lol. Well, I love Nnessy too, nice choice mommy and daddy.  Patience, the hardest thing to execute since no one is willing to wait. I plant today, I want harvest tomorrow; I put food in a cooker, the next minute I want to plate it up; I invest money, the next nano-second I wish to book a vacation or buy commodities with my savings/investment... the list goes on. Such is our ordeal, no wonder people indulge in crime and disgusting acts only to accelerate what they want.  No one has time to wait for anything. We're this microwave generation expecting things to occur in a nanosecond. It's a pity we've eliminated the word patience from our dictionary and vocabulary. One exercising it, deem fit being categorised as stupid. What then is this patience?   ~Nnessy🩷 Oxford dictionary defines it as the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without bec...

Staying true to self 2

  True colours This article was inspired by a post made by one asking what true colurs really are. I found it funny to be honest because the post read, 'If you do bad people say you've shown your true colours but when you do good, nothing is said. Is true colours only associated with the bad?' First thing that came to my mind is, ain't doing good part of someone's true colours? Hilarious, right. From my own understanding, true colours is simply who you are either good or bad. Character is shaped from your true colours. One thing for sure, character can never be masked, you can pretend for some time but not forever. So, simply be yourself. I understand that sometimes in a verge of wanting to fit in, you mask your personality so as to be accommodated. Well, it's good to be you from the onset, if you have weaknesses, you can be assisted right there and then. If you like black why act as if green is your thing. The danger of masking your true colours results in frus...
