“mum how do I look?”

I ask my mum and she turned back and stare at me opening Her mouth ajar with a bright smile on her face.

“you remind me of your daddy son”she replied when she had gotten hold of her voice and I smiled.

“my son”she retorted and I kneelt down cos I already know what is gonna follow that it is not New to me.

“you are going to a New school,am not there to tell you what to do and what not to do,be careful and always face your studies which is the only paramount key to a successful future .you have never for once let the name of your father down please remain of your good moral conduct,stay away from bad friends.you are my eyes,my life and my hope, you are the only reason why am still alive today please don’t let me down. people will laugh at you but don’t worry my jewel always remember that you are better than them,you have what they can never dream of placing their hands on, stay away from a trouble loaming area and above all you must not fight. apologise to people even when they wrong you it Will not take a dime from you”.
