IN THE JOURNAL OF MRS. THOMPSON 3



15/03/1988
My dear diary, sorry for keeping you waiting on what is happening in my world. I’m in grief because I lost my dad two days ago. My half sister came to deliver this terrible news today. I still can’t believe he’s gone because I was in his office just last week and he told me he had a slight headache. Apparently, he died of heart failure. I don’t want to think of what mom may be going through now but God knows best. I leave all to Him. After all, He gives and He takes.
The last few days have been good because I went to the hospital and yours truly is 3 weeks pregnant but the doctor said it was not time to determine the gender of the child. I informed Kwesi and he was very happy and for once he kissed my tummy. Yes, he did! The few days since my last writing have been marvellous. Kwesi has been the best husband in the world. I think it’s because I’m pregnant; he buys me chocolate on his way back from work every evening and also massages my feet. When the news came in that dad has passed away, he hugged me so tight and I felt so loved at that moment. Oh, how I longed for this hug! We went for a walk that evening and he did everything to make me laugh all night. I really needed every bit of his presence. I truly appreciate what he’s been doing for me these days. I pray for more everyday.lol 
Now that dad has passed away, I have to visit the family members to discuss his burial service but I’m thinking of my Kwesi.  I’m thinking of who’ll take care of him when I’m away. Who will cook for him and wash his clothes? My half sister was also saying she’d love to stay with me and continue her education since dad has passed. Her mom whom my dad never married died about five years ago and so she had to live with dad till his demise. I haven’t discussed that with Kwesi yet but I plan on doing that tomorrow evening. I hope to make the right decision.
I thank God for these last few days; the love I’m getting from Kwesi and also the gift He has given me; a baby. I also thank Him for the life of my daddy and for calling him in His own time. In everything, I give thanks to God. Rest in peace daddy.
