On the 8th of July few years back around 2 early in the morning a girl child was born.

That child was me.

Ever since that I always liked the number 8 and the month July, for I was born on that day and month.

That date is very special to me as I add a year to my age every year.

I thank God for bringing me on that day and always praise and thank my Mom for surviving the pain of giving birth to me.

The way I like that day I’m even proud to say I am a winter child, I was born in winter.

I always pray to God that the weather doesn’t turn on me.

And every year my birthday becomes even better, maybe

I’m also thankful my great grandfather survived to see me turn one years back.

And also thankful my great grandmother was there to see me turn 9 (also years back)

Now I’m older now, I’m now a teen.

Thank you Mama

For I am now grown

And I thank everyone who was involved in raising me.
