Miss ahma for birthday celebrations, gotta get used to huh, just like everything. Everything starts with a first time.
Other ahma told us stories. One that touched me madly was that she carried mum when she's smaller than mummy streets to get to a physician to treat mum's leg cramps. And when the physician keep telling them to wait just cos the rich had prority, she barged in and said that's my daughter in pain there. If she was your daughter would you treat her the same.
Her guts to stand up for herself and her love for her daughter gmh. My ahma taught me not to waste time, to do everything quick. And this old woman, she learnt A-Z on her own. She can't figure the words pieced together but she know how to spell and pronounce her own name. Whatever she did, she did to her best. Whatever she didn't know, she wants to learn more. She learnt on her own in 3 months what others learnt with a teacher in 6 months and they all took the same paper. She loves animals, and raised her six children up single-handedly.
Im gonna teach her el after Os, but then again now Pearl and I don't dare put bets on futuristic promises cos we never know when people leave, or what will happen in the future. Love your folks, guises.
