A Sad And Happy Birthday To Me

Today the 10th of September is my 46th birthday and I'm supposed to be in a happy and celebrating mood, but instead an unfortunate incident happened to me this week through my 17yr old daughter who's battling to regain consciousness at the hospital from the accident she had on Monday on her way back from school. She was knocked down by a bike man who sped away. She has lost so much blood that I have been buying pints of blood and drugs, and it has affected the little finances that I have saved.

Thankfully the Oga at the hotel where I am working as a security guard donated some money and gave it to me to offset some of the bills. And thank God, while I was with her yesterday, she regained consciousness, which even gave me the mind to make this post. Honestly it isn't easy being a single father. Funny thing, I have a younger brother who's loaded and could have helped me sort out things financially, but we're not on speaking terms because some years back I disagreed and scolded him on his source of money, which was scamming (or is it yahoo you guys call it?) - my immediate younger brother who's a pastor, and whom I expected to be on my side, also supported him.

So I just can't imagine going back to ask him for money. But be that as it may, I know God will see me and my daughter through. She's fine now and responding to treatment. My problem now is the hospital bill before discharging her when the time comes. I know God will see me through; all I need from you guys is your prayers for her to fully recover and the strength for me to pass through this phase.

Thank you all for your expected kind wishes and prayers. Happy/Sad birthday to me - Ukah Uche Kalu!
