I was working late into the night. Irewamiri was also awake. I looked at her and asked, “Do you know one of my reason for resolving matters with you early and on time?” She answered in the negative. I said to her, “I always ask myself that ‘if these were to be my last words to you, would I be […]
My mentor shared with me how he visited a retired Pastor. He was alarmed about the state he met the man who had served the Lord and his church with the active part of his life. He committed to ensuring that this retired Pastor has a smile on his face till heaven calls him home. You probably have a story […]
A dear family was spending some time with us. They have a beautiful baby girl. I had a flashy pack with me. I handed it over to her. She loved it. She began to play with it. The mother looked at her and said, “I know everything goes into your mouth now”. I smiled and said, “Make sure you do […]
We got back home after a brief drive into town to pick up some things. When we returned, Olive insisted she was not going inside the house. I walked in and closed the door, thinking she would then be prompted to come in. She stayed outside. I could not keep my eyes away. I started looking at her through the […]
I made friends with some of my classmates at the State University. I had settled in fast. I began to fall in love with some of the music of that season. I would borrow music discs from another colleague to listen to at intervals. One day, I borrowed some music discs as usual. When I got home, I began to […]
I was reading in the courtyard at my residence during my brief stint at the State University. There was a lady who was older than I was and had been in school for way longer who came visiting my flatmates. She is reputed to be one of the “big girls” on campus. She rarely spends the weekend in school. When […]
When my parents dropped me off at the State University, they looked at me and said words of prayer for me. My extra-large “Ghana-must-go” bag was full of provisions that I would need, but my heart was full of parental warnings like, “Remember the son of who you are” and “Do not walk with bad friends”. They bade me farewell. […]
There were days she slept right between us. We wake up and talk to her first before talking to one another. There were times I told Irewamiri that she uses more endearments for Danielle than she has ever done for me. You will hear things like, “My baby, my love, good morning”. We were drifting apart. Dear young wife, there […]
My dear teacher looked at me that day and told me these parting words about sex in marriage, “No matter what happens, do not take yourselves too seriously. Keep learning. Keep exploring till you get better”. Dear young wife, do you want me to tell you the truth? You must learn about sex. For your husband, it is a major […]
In the space of two weeks, we had argued about almost everything. Little things will bring sparks. I spent a while meditating on what the challenge might be. After one of such disagreements, I gently sought the audience of my wife and told her, “Darling, I noticed that it has been an overwhelming season for you- things have gone so […]
