Nanette







I have just known you for only 6 months, baby girl. Just when you were born on 30 April 2008. I knew God had chosen me to be the father of daughters.

The news of your birth reached me on my way home to get clothes for you and your mom. You were lying on a bed by your mom's side at Chamancule Hospital. You were so bright in comlexion with your eyes closed.

Nanette is the name I gave you. It was my ex-collegues name and yet I had no meaning for it.

Your birth brought joy to me and your mom. Though, you were born in poverty and hunger, you had a place in our hearts.

I remember the day you became very sick. Doctors said, you would not live to see the next day.

Goodness, here you are today; sio strong, energetic and playful young little girl.

Nanie, may God bless you and shower you with the wishes of your heart. Be a God fearing woman and reach out to the world. Be a blessing going in and coming out.

I love you Nanie.
