Today, Leesha spent her day at work with me. Just like me (when I was growing up), the girls do time at work every school break. This time round, I let her use my desk – a family heirloom that my dad passed on to me many years ago. Peeping in, in the course of the day, I was overcome with acute nostalgia: When I was her age, this very same desk constituted my workstation at my dad’s business. Unaware of my presence, I quietly bowed my head and made a silent prayer; that she’d serve the purpose of God for her generation. That moment, frozen in time, seemed like an eternity. I know Old Man Zik said that prayer 30 years ago.

Mzee zikuzoka , Mzee Isreal Elianu, Mzee Ekayu, Mama Adyamo, Mzee Epaja, aaah…..!! The list is miles long, my real heroes, they worked heard for their families, never saw any iota of corruption in any of them unlike today. People with true meaning family values. Onaceka Jacob, we are all blessed to be part of these wise men and women, they may be gone now but believe me they are watching over us. Thank you passing on those values to Leesha at an early stage of her life. GBU.
