Yesterday 3rd February 2016 was a beautiful day for me, unfortunately the day ended so badly where I had to take my son to the hospital because someone molested him. Do not ask anything in details because I felt like killing someone. Of course I beat my baby out of the frustrations that, how could he be that vulnerable to such a person. It did not make any sense to him that he had such a beating instead of me sympathizing with him. Later, the doctor told me, he did not need the beating before understanding what was going on. (Lord forgive me).
But
I had to discipline him so that he can understand that, he should never
entertain a stranger in his life because not all strangers are angels. I am very sorry for my baby, but they know
when mum is not happy with what they do, that is wrong, they will always get
the discipline that a mother gives to her children, that is, that stepping and
the kicking of a chicken to it’s chick. Meaning,
I do not beat to kill but to show the seriousness of the matter so that it is a
reminder that, the wrong was not sweet but painful.
He swore he will never entertain any person to such a scenario and I guess
my baby got the point. The good mother
now, had to come to her senses and as I cooled him down and gave him my sweet
peck with so much love on my laps, he opened up and I felt the best thing to do
is to take him to see a doctor and I also get some counseling.
My
baby in 30 minutes had forgotten the beating and there we were riding together
to the hospital. He kept on telling me I
should not beat him again and we should be good friends once more. I pecked him again on the chicks just to assure
him, I am still the sweet mama he knows and I will always be there for him even
at the worst point. Not remembering the beatings, my baby just continued being
all what boys are meant to be and I would find myself shouting at him to stop playing
around as this thing taking us to the hospital was giving me panic attacks. Long story short, my baby is fine but I have
to keep an eye on him always and look for better ways of protecting him as what
lured him to the stranger is the games on his phone that he enticed him with. Please stop holding your breath, my baby was
not rapped, but if I did not intervene, one of these days I would be screaming
my lungs out. He is fine. I thank God.
But,
in that bad scenario, before I encountered it, I was just walking home, feeling
tired and worn out, I could not understand why I was walking, but something
told me to just give myself courage and stamina to walk home. I could see the public vehicles meant for my
route and wished I was just put on the carrier so that I ease the pain on my
legs from the walk and running around Nairobi City. Anyway, I encouraged myself and guess what? I found myself at Nakumatt Mega. When I just popped in, I saw this handsome
men suit, tie, belt and shoes on the display. Wow! I
said to myself, “if I had a man, that shoe, he would have won it on the Valentine’s
Day” Curiosity killed the cat and I could
not hold my peace just going home without going inside the shop to see the shoe
especially and check the price tag!
Guys, you say women items are expensive, you have no idea! Men’s items are equally expensive. Went inside, lifted the shoe and the price
did not shock me as such, as much as the shoe cost 23,000/= only. Man! I did not see the expense, but I saw the man
of my dream in that shoe. Let me just
point out, if that man was there for real, I would have taken an emergency loan
just to make him feel that important. The
shoes melted my heart; but guess what? I
put it in my future’s man’s leg by faith and for sure that lucky guy will have
to wear that shoe or even better than that one because, I know by that time,
that shoe will not be on that display.
And do I say? .
Most
of the time as women, when it is valentine, we just think about us, as
women. How this man will come our way
and do a, b, c, d to us. I would want every woman who has a man by their side
as boyfriends, man friends, husbands, Huns, name them, to surprise your man
this valentine and make them feel that special.
It is not a must you buy them that 23,000/= shoe, but that small thing,
like just cooking for him a nice meal, being good to him on a special day like
this. Just do something that he will
always remember and you never know what love you will awaken that died many
years ago. Put your pride down, humble
yourself and be the one to someone who does not even think or imagine you can
be. That shoe, I still remember it, and
as I was walking out of the shop I told the salesman there, "that shoe was so cute
to be there on the display". He smiled
and wanted to know why I said that as he urged me to buy for my man. I told him, unfortunately I do not have “the
man” He could not imagine as he wanted I tell him why that man is not
there. My secret to save the day and not
to talk about it, I told him, I am alone by choice and went my way. I wished he knew inside me
how I long to have a man beside me. That will be a dream come true! Have I just said that? Yes I have and I am not ashamed to say I am
single and ready to mingle. (Laughs).
What
are your plans for this year’s valentine?
I will tell you, you can make the most memorable valentine by just being
you and you can choose any person to be your Valentine and make them feel
that "special". A Valentine does not necessary
mean it should be someone of the opposite sex, but it can be anyone you love
and care about like your mum, dad, brother, sister, uncle, cousin, auntie,
nephew, niece name them ... grand ma! e.t.c. Just make a point of making
this day special to someone who could not have expected it from you and you
will bring about a difference of who you really are that, that person will be
overwhelmed by you and start taking you differently from what they know or
think about you. My sons are my Valentines this
Valentine! That is my choice, what is
yours?
Have
a wonderful Valentines Day and be yourself!
