Pinky's Diaries

On days like this, I go crazy (in a happy way) no matter how hard I try not to. I'm thankful for the obvious numerous blessings Onyekeruwa bestowed on me and for the things we call small. I'm here because He let me!   Akamha! Nna m! The void you left can never be filled but the woman you left with us is so strong willed, loving, kind, prayerful.... I'm glad you made her my mum! The man in her strives to keep us safe but the woman she is cries when no one is looking. I don't pray much beyond listening to Cohbams and Kirk Franklin. When words fail me, like it does most times, music is all I've got. Yet He blesses me every passing second. Seems Akamha is still whispering, constantly reminding Him that I'm his precious girl in need of grace. Don't stop, daddy, or your little girl is doomed! Hope I didn't disappoint you much this year, pa! Chidi, Ada, Nkechi, Emezie, Onyeka...but for you, no one will take a first chance with me! Growi...

Green....pink panties Hair... Dress... Jacket... Shoes... Other accessories... Smile... Gift collection box... Nails... Camera... Darling, I've got everything ready and under control. You can prpose now.  You better propose today cos I'm not in my period thereby minimizing the risks of me being in pain and really grumpy. I've got everything ready, everything in detail down to my camera woman, Esther. But wait... ...do not propose to me while still living in your friend's house unless they are willing to move. Even if they are willing to move, make sure the house has a big kitchen, big bathrooms furnished with a large mirror, three master bedrooms, two guest rooms, a library, two sitting rooms, a big compound to accommodate my range rover amongst other cars and a play house for my prospective babies.  Hmmmm! I remember when Uju got engaged and I am sure you remember too cos you were there. But if your selective amnesia is back, lemme ...

I still remember the time I prayed for what I now have! Guchi, Tobe, Chuka, Skillz, Wolfy, Raskali, Emezie, Mohammed and all the handsome men in my life would pray never to have anyone like me ever again! But I was not the only one with prayers. Big bro needed an AC badly for his room and he always prayed for it on Sundays during prayer of the faithful when the priest said "You may now add your private intentions". His prayer got answered. To top his blessings, he got it at a price cheaper than normal. Hmmmm! It was a giant AC meant for huge halls and event centers! His room was too small for it but one can't joke with answered prayers. He got it installed and we prayed that NEPA would give us light.  We waited and waited for weeks but NEPA didn't budge and the damned AC just stood there occupying the little space we had left in the room. What annoyed me most was that it cast a huge shadow over my standing mirror making my little diva moments...
