My Family and I

Welcome to a day in the life of a young girl in a remote village, somewhere in Kadarko. I was born into a family of 6 with Dad and mum inclusive, only to discover that I had step siblings. My Father had 3 wives in the past and my mother made the 3rd wife. Although, my mother was the only wife I grew up to see... Story had it that, other wives divorced and left. I was my Daddy's favorite child and was always with him. My Father was into politics, had a clinic of his own and thriving well in his career until one day in June 2006, when he was trying to address his political entourage, my father slumped. Every effort was made to to revive him, but all effort proved abortive! He was rushed to the hospital and in the early hours of the next day, we received the news of his passing. Dad died and left us to mourn... Dad was a commercial farmer and very industrious. After his demise, the real family war began! My step siblings showed and were threatening to take everything from us, including the grains which we farmed all by ourselves. My older brother, who was the first born of my mother insisted and took a bag of maize along. Now, the war between siblings has just began!
