DADDY...
As i was walking home, tired after a hard day's work and mulling over the thoughts of an article i had just read about building a pipeline versus being a bucket carrier the rest of your life; i was whispering to myself how i want to build my pipeline, its about time i start building my pipeline...
Thoughts of a man i respect and adore popped up; rather his image, his works, and the point at which he is in life crossed my mind; this man called my dad has raised me up from very humble beginnings, you could actually feel when all the resources have been stretched to the limit so that u go to school. This man dropped out of school so that he could take care of his mum whose mental health was not good, he went everywhere with his mum, took care of him until his mum left us(may her soul RIP)
Right now, this guy is a Computer Aided design Manager in a company that he has worked for more than 2 decades, where he started as a dustman rather he used to clean the plastic plants set in offices; messenger services, and now he is a respected person in the office.
There was a time this guy fell sick; and he was admitted in hospital but can you believe there are days that his office could not operate without him;i used to bring him the laptop and he could dictate the things you are to do; he used to get hazy with the thousands of passwords he had to tell; i can only imagine how this guy has managed to raise us up; struggled between his teeth, the sacrifices he has had to make and still is making.
I just wanted to appreciate this one man; the values he has taught me, the love shown through the things he does; might not be a big talker but come on, the conservative nature in him although he's big in IT, the way he reasons-totally different and challenging.
One thing: I thank God for you dad, and may God bless you abundantly, give you knowledge and wisdom on how to live the rest of your days on earth...Love, XOXO
