Our Daughter

Much to the disbelief and probable displeasure of her father and mother, Genga’s first word was “Chouchou”, my nickname. (Whether or not I intensely trained her is frankly irrelevant.) She was born exactly two years ago at 7:17a.

If you are a parent, receive this note as a “well done”. You have tolerated flying excrements, leaking milk, dwindling dollars, loss of sleep without losing the entirety of your mind. Sha naho muragerageza! If you are trusting God for a miracle and you are rejoicing with others in the waiting season; so too, will we rejoice with you tomorrow.

Dearest Reader: I wish you a heart as pure as Genga’s BUT most importantly, I wish you an, unquantifiable, supreme saturation of love, hugs, kisses and giggles…

A toast, to Baby G, my daughter and bestie!

XOXO
