The picture in the parlor, was taken in 1990, during a family vacation in Tanzania where his Uncle's and Aunt's were all present, back then he was the only little man in the family,
He was carried by his mum in her arms, feeling strong and happy, he turn left and saw pictures of himself well decorated in a brown flame, beside was a picture of his Dad, who had passed away a long time ago, Joseph grew up without knowing who was his father, he was only told stories about who he was, how he behaves and what he uses to like, although a lot of people told him that, he had the height and complexion of his Father.
Joseph always blame himself for what happened to his Dad, because his mum told him that, it was on the day she gave birth to him that his Dad loss his life in a car accident, due to being extremely happy and taken too much alcohol on his way coming back from the supermarket.
Joseph always felt bad whenever he had this thoughts on his mind, the worst of it was that, on the day of their graduate, most of his classmates were coming to the school with their parents while his mum alone was the one who showed up for him, he felt it and was somehow sad, but his mum tried all her best to make him happy as she always do the best for him and never let him feels like nature is cheating on him.
Among the graduating students, Joseph was called as the best student who came out with outstanding colours, when he was called upon, he shade tears and wish his father was there to witnessed his graduation, when her mom looks at him, she noted something was not going well with him.
"He behaved just like this father" her mother's Said silently on her mind.
when Joseph came out and met with his mother, she hugged him and said to him, "I love you my son, do not feel lost for i am always with you and would never leave you".
With tears in his eyes, he nodded and look at her mum with good feelings.
she continued.
"I know you are not happy at this moment" but it is better you know, everything happens for a reason and always have it on your mind that your Dad loves you so much too.
she Said looking at him so dearly....
"Thank you mummy" i know all you do is always to make me happy,
And i want you to know that, i am happy with all you have done to me, and i love you so much too mummy, thank you for being more than a mother to me, the role you play in my life is so amazing, you have done more than enough for me, i promise to always make you proud.
"I wish your Dad were here to witnessed this day" her mother's said..
"Even if he may be hundred miles away, he would always be on my mind" Joseph replied.
