FAMILY FIRST.

Go hard or go home? Bro, I went home.

DEAR FRIEND,

I hope this letter finds you in a good place because I am filled with happiness and excitement, and I wanted to share my joy with you.

I am thrilled because it is my birth month, and I finally have enough strength to sit down (I am not seated) and write to you.

The past few weeks did not go as planned due to the fact that I fell ill. It hit me unexpectedly since I never anticipated getting sick when I had so many things to do. But as they say, them no dey tell person.

During that time, I felt a sense of loneliness (despite having people around me, for which I am grateful) because I missed my family. Although I received excellent care, there was something missing, and I wanted more.

I longed to feel their love, to have their comforting touch, and simply to be with my loved ones. It seemed almost impossible, but I serve a living God and eventually, I was able to return home. I received the love and support I craved, and I recovered. It was a win-win!

The purpose of my story is to emphasize the importance of family. No matter how far away from home you may be, knowing that you have people who are always there for you brings joy.

I understand that at times, they may be annoying, but in the end, they are your pillar. So do everything in your power to cherish them. While you may have many friends, be the life of the party, and be everyone's favorite, are these things not temporary? Is it not your family that you ultimately rely on?

In conclusion, my friend, I implore you to cherish your family and hold them dear, just as I hold you dear, because you are my family, and I will always support you.

I also want you to take good care of yourself, drink water, eat well and rest well. Remember your body is not a machine you can use anyhow (even machines breakdown) and remember that even idan fit fall sick.

I look forward to writing to you again soon.
