It's Monday! Do I hear a "Yayyyy!!!" or "Nayyyy!!"? Well, I have a story for you today. I hope you read it.  The Story: O ne windy day, the egg of an eagle rolled down a cliff. A farmer who was passing by saw it and picked it. He took it home and kept it alongside his other turkey eggs. One by one the eggs all hatched. The eagle looked different from the others but he didn't mind. He flocked with them. He dined with them. One day, he saw a convocation (that's what a group of eagles is called) of eagles fly past. He signalled the other turkeys, wanting them to watch the eagles. Later at dinner table, he asked his siblings (the turkeys) why they all couldn't fly like the birds that they saw earlier on. The eldest of them answered and said: "We can't fly that high and for that long because those birds are eagles and we are turkeys." The lone eagle, accepted his fate and though he yearned to soar, he never did. He died not knowing his capab...

MY STORY It's not so easy living with my condition. Its almost like I was given a sentence before I even had the chance to live. Everyday is scary. I do not know if I'm going to have a crisis or not.  The crises are really painful but most of the pain I feel comes from my mind. I feel pain when I see the faces of the ones I love. They smile at me and act like all is fine around me but I know deep down that it hurts them to see me go through this. I found out about my status when I was twelve. On the morning of that fateful day, I broke down in class. Just after our morning assembly. It wasn't the first time but this was more painful than any other before it. I had to be rushed to the hospital.  When mum came, I demanded to know what was wrong with me. I needed an answer. I needed to know the reason I was treated as a special student in school, like fragile glass.  I needed to know why I had a lunchbox filled  with drugs, why I was always falling ill and why Aunty May...

This is a column containing funny memories. Things that happened in the past that make you laugh each time you remember them. How many funny memories do you have? How funny are they? Feel free to share your funny memories in the comment section. Here's one of my fun memories: I was barely three years old and my immediate younger sister was almost one year old. Her birthday was a few days away—Christmas day. Mother's birthday comes immediately after hers, the next day which is boxing day. PS: I have this memory etched in my brain but I do not know how. I remember every detail. Maybe it's because it's funny . Days to mom's birthday, she got a beautiful birthday cake. This cake was well decorated and looked appealing to us kids. It was a white cake with a red ribbon around it. It had small sugary details (crunchy drops of yellow icing round it) that one could pick off and lick— which child doesn't like sugar? At the time, I just couldn't imagine why mum didn...

Be kind both in words and deeds.  Be considerate and gracious through all circumstances. Not hard, not indifferent, harsh or too busy.
