I don’t know how to express our feelings at home. We miss you a lot. I had thought you will come back in good time. What we thought would take just six months has taken two complete years, yet we don’t know when you will return. Home has not been the same since you left. I now realize the importance of a father at home. The moonlight stories and plays. The collection of one money or the other from you. Words cannot express how much we’re missing you. We are all anxiously waiting for the time when the prolonged course shall end.
The position of the family since you left has been mixed. Though, our mother has been trying, yet I still believe that there is no person who can replace your fatherly role at home. Uncle Tayo comes in once in a while to play with us. He even assisted us in making Sola secure an admission.
Another important thing that happened during your absence is mummy’s promotion. God is wonderful. It would have been difficult to finance our education, shelter us, but for the promotion. Shed is now the Assistant Executive Officer in the Local Government.
Educationally, we are steadily progressing. None of us has failed since you left. I was the best overall student in the last promotion from SS2 to SS3. Solar was able to secure an admission to Federal Government College, New Bussa. Also, our elder sister, funmilola is in the University of Lagos. Even if you’re here, we couldn’t have surpassed this achievement.
However, there are two major things that have happened which made your absence felt. First, the plots of land you bought at Oke Odo have been taken over by trespassers. Second, the landlord has given us a quit notice. We are presently looking for an alternative accommodation.
Uncle Tayo and Bola sent their greetings. Extend my warm regards to your fellow course mates. Hoping to read from you soon.
