If you remove my wife from my life this past 72 hours, I fit kpeme.
We have been moving houses and everywhere is so scattered like mad but once I ask “where is my blue boxers with duduke painting”, she will go straight to the point. “Uhmmmn, it should be in the yellow bag beside the bed”. What of my green comb with black tattoo? “It is inside the black box on the shelf”.
Women actually own the home. I feel like an alien. With how scattered and overwhelming my life is, she still has every detail in her head. Obirin 🙌
@hy_wemmy One of the most painful truths in life is learning that your goodness won’t always be met with goodness. Keep your heart kind, but your expectations realistic.
@maxvayshia People don’t just marry because they’re ready or because they’re in love. Sometimes they marry because they’re lonely, pressured by age, family expectations. The strongest marriages seem to happen when love, readiness, and commitment meet at the same time.
To grow up knowing that their father’s strength is not automatic it is chosen every single day. Because one day, when they look back at their childhood, I want them to say, “Our father showed up for us. He gave his best for us. And we saw it.” 💐
We talk a lot about a mother’s love and rightfully so. But today, I want to speak about fathers….
The sacrifices fathers make are often quiet. They don’t always cry out loud. They don’t always post their struggles. They carry pressure in silence. They go to work tired. Cont’d
they do me. I want them to see his efforts. I want them to understand that love is not only in cuddles and soft words, but also in early mornings, late nights, sacrifices, and silent prayers. I will teach them to celebrate him. To respect him. To remember his sacrifices…
And when they do, it is seen as “normal.” But it is not small. It is not ordinary. It is love deep, intentional love.
Watching this has inspired me deeply.
I am intentional about raising my children in a way that they will honor and appreciate their father just as much as…
And most times, their love is shown through responsibility, provision, protection, and presence not always through words. Sadly, those sacrifices often go unnoticed. They are expected to be strong. Expected to provide. Expected to fix everything. Cont’d…
They sacrifice comfort, dreams, sleep, and sometimes even their own happiness just to make sure their families are okay. They endure stress they cannot explain. They fight battles nobody sees. Cont’d
They don’t always post their struggles. They carry pressure in silence. They go to work tired. They swallow their fears. They put their pride aside. They worry about bills, about the future, about whether they are doing enough yet they rarely say it. Cont’d
