My cousin has been in Canada for six years.
Every month, money lands in my aunt's account.
School fees, house rent, his younger ones' upkeep.
Everybody calls him the family's blessing.

He called last Christmas.
Laughing and asking about everyone.
He sounded fine.
I asked: "How are you doing over there?"
He said: "I'm managing. Canada is good o."

He visited two years ago. We killed a goat.
The whole family came out.
He was smiling in every photo.
Nobody noticed he had lost weight.
I noticed. But I didn't say anything.
I thought maybe it was the cold.

Last month, his friend called my aunt.
Said my cousin had not been eating well.
That some months he sends everything and keeps nothing.
That he cries sometimes. Alone at night.
That he had been doing this for years.

My aunt was quiet for a long time.
Then she said:
"But he never said anything."

...
Well, he never said anything.
Because nobody ever asked beyond "how is Canada?"

Looks like the smartest, most intelligent, highly cerebral, super IQ, brilliant people are born in May.

I've been observing the trend and it seems May Borns are Rare gems.

@Afua_priscy I’m curious to know if anything at all was done for your nephew while you were waiting or they just blatantly ignored you.

Whenever l am slightly disrespected by a man, I remember my favorite Michelle Obama lore. There's a story about them dining at a restaurant when they learned the chef used to be Michelle's high school boyfriend

Barack joked,
lf you were still with him, you could have been the owner of this nice restaurant."

Michelle replied,
"No. If I were still with him, he would have been President of the United States."
And that's the energy every woman should have about her own worth.

@jeffwellz As a doctor, I had to transport a 9month old child for Chest CT scan via an ambulance. I went with them because, I needed to hold on to the ‘voltic bottle improvised c-pap’ myself so I can do the adjustment if the tube slips. This is not the 80s, present day Ghana.
