I was brought up in a polygamous family. My dad was also brought up in a polygamous family. This was about thirty years ago. My grand father married almost 30plus wives. My grand mother being the first wife and my father being the first son to my grand father. May their souls rest in eternal peace. Well, I am not here to start a debate on monogamy vs polygamy. The greatest question bugging my mind is how these two gentlemen managed all these women.

It is always interesting to hear the stories of how people met. I personally love telling ours because the funny thing is I wasn’t looking for you, I just found you. It’s just like people always say, “just when you stop looking, love finds you” (or something like that). You were always around in my life, here and there, then out of funny circumstances and total coincidence, we became friends and got to know each other more and more, deeper and much deeper.

I hope this finds you well. It’s 2210hrs East African time from this side of my world, I don’t know what time it could be from your side but I believe and hope it could be happiness and love o’clock for both of you from your end when you get to read this. Well, trust me when I tell you that behind all those smiles, all that laughter; is a girl who has lived to hide her tears, and even burry pieces of her existence every time people close to her let her down.
