 Born or Received? 

So, guys, look, this is funny.

Those who know her, kindly don't go looking at her with bad eyes. So, it is apparent that mum didn't need the help of anyone to deliver me. Hilarious right? very. Apparently, and these is what she told me herself, being the second last born of the 8 children she had given rise to, of whom 7 survived, she didn't need the help of a hospital or midwife to deliver me. 

Having done this 8 times, see the shock on your eyes, you who told me that you can't do it more than twice.  She had gathered a lot of experience. That experience they normally ask you at every interview you go to. 

So, on that night, the family was around the table having super, all of them except dad who was at work for a night shift, mum felt the urge, I don't know what to call it, but I hear they call it contractions, so she stood up, as nothing is happening to her, went to the bedroom, took a 'Leso' and took her best position on it. The next episode, fast forward is, she came back with a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, oohh sorry, in a Leso.

Shocked, surprised mesmerized, astonished, startled flabbergasted and astounded my siblings were as they received me. I'm even looking for the best words to describe it.  I hear my elder sister, that singer, those who know her, the one with many good songs on YouTube, is the one who stood up with the name Ken full of excitement, and up to now, it is what it is. 

The last born, same story. I don't know if he knows that. My mum is still a 'Champe' to now. Who does that? I mean Who? I am a unique baby like Jesus.

If You Don't Make Your Intentions to a  Woman Clear You'll eat Rice At Her Wedding. This adage has Never Been More True - Writes Ken Kayange  Love is a beautiful feeling, this is a story of love, Boyz Narrates his love encounters and how he let 'Mbogi" down .  It's vividly clear in my heart that this is what I want for myself. As clear as daylight, crystal clear. Without doubt. Actually it was on repeat mode in my heart. It kept ringing in my mind. I couldn't stop envisioning myself holding her in my arms and providing warmth to her in all the seasons. I couldn't stop seeing her walk right next before me and speak to me in a sweet voice. I am so sure I would never stop listening to her.
