PROLOGUE
We all are blessed with our past and we cannot escape from it because it is always present in our life. We can sing about it, bark at it or take it as an aspect to reflect on our present and develop our future. My past was good but bad and ugly times did crop up on occasions however, I moved on regardless. This became the Journey of my life. I took my life as a journey and not a destination and decided to sing about various events that made me progress in life. I looked at my past seriously and decided to present it in a form of an essay of various chapters. I have called it Journey of my Life.
I was blessed by my loving parents, a wonderful family and efficient work mates as well as many faithful friends and reliable relatives so I decided to venture on this project to show and tell the story of the family and friends who helped me evolve an effective life, sound education and invaluable inspiration to enjoy and appreciate a variety of remarkable things in life.
There were a few things I admired in life and they included my parents, my family, my friends and the workmates during my work life. Hence, this short and simple presentation is written for the reading of my family members, friends and relatives. If I have missed any important aspects of the family life, my work life and the life as a whole in my recollections I wish to be forgiven and maybe one day someone would come forward and expose whatever is missing.
There were a few specific reasons for developing this composition and they were my dedication and devotion to family and work life plus my intention to leave a memory behind for all the loved ones. I have loved composing these episodes and I hope the readers will equally appreciate and love to read and treasure this historical composition. I dedicate this presentation to my parents and teachers who gave me the tools and stamina to live this life with dignity. One aspect that thrilled me is the contribution from my children and grandchildren who have presented their thoughts and ideas as Our Mother and Our Grandmother.
Therefore, it is my pleasure, pride and privilege to relate my stories and make my past into a fruitful journey and not repent about any event that may have hurt me because they became my inspiration to flow on with pride. I prayed to God to give me the strength and stamina to create this eventful journey and thanked my teachers for giving me the tools of skills, knowledge and needed vocabulary. The rest is in the hands of the readers. People around me were like my eyes and ears so I constantly saw and heard things and now they have become my memory and stories to read.
I LOVED THE LIFE I LIVED
I LIVED THE LIFE I LOVED
