To the everyday Ghanaian, 6th of March every year marks the day we got our Independence from the colonial rule. In our books and history, we boast about being the first black nation to gain Independence but we can't say really if we are truly independent economically and politically. Our lives are still being controlled by those that colonized us.
To the ordinary Ghanaian, it's a day worth celebrating and I agree entirely with them because people laid their lives and toiled to bring this country where it's now.
On this same day 2018, my wife delivered this beautiful angel. The circumstances we went through before she came out is something that needs to be discussed extensively next time but I will give a gift about it.
I remember so clearly, around 2am that faithful midnight. My woman was take to the hospital specifically to the labour ward. From 2am to 5pm, she had not been able to put to bed. Her condition was get more complicated so they advised me to sign so they could perform cesarian session (CS ) on her which I did.
When they took her to the theater to do the surgery, 30 minutes later the lights went off. It was around 6pm and the weather had changed because it felt like it was about to rain. I become very scared. No light coupled with this darkness. All I could do then was to pray and hope for the best. I couldn't sit for the entire hours during the process. I was alone but my in-law came immediately they brought my baby and wife from the theater to the females ward. There was a great sign of relief and a source of dependence from my in-law.
This year's marks exactly 3years and the events that took place still rings in my head. It's as if it happen just this hour
Yesterday was so special for her but 3years is not easy looking at the circumstances that took place during her birth and the hardship I had to endure in between. I was a university student before her birthday and I had to really endure to be able to cater for her and my own education. It was worth sacrificing*.
Glory and honour to the most high for his protection on our family
Though your speech is not all that clear yet but I believe that is what you are saying and I believe all steemanians will join us sing praises to the creator
I could celebrate with you during the day. When I came home she was already asleep with my gifts in my hands. I know mummy and grandma did make you happy. But you are always going to be my favorite love.
May this smile never fade. I will do anything within my power to see you succeed to become a wonderful person in this world. These are my promise to you and to the the entire world. The rain showers was a sigh of hope and new beginning.
This how my day went. Even though work took the most important part of my day and the rains with that heavy wind. I couldn't see her yesterday. My only consolation was picky to her on video call.
All thanks to everyone who supports me from day one on steemit. @steemcurator1, @steemcurator2, #steemsquad @trafalgar and everybody on steem-ghana and Africa. I say ayekoo from my language meaning well done.
