Texts to 5 People

To these 5 people, okay wait! Is God also among the people? My prayer partner always says God is a being. Then M7 recently reminded us that he is Omnificent, Omnipresent! Omnipotent!

Then I remember the text Mum sent the day before my operation.

“Don’t worry about tomorrow because the same Heavenly Father who takes care of you today will have the same thought tomorrow and always. What does a child in the arms of such a father have to fear? Be as little children, who hardly ever think about their future as they have someone to think for them. They are sufficiently strong just by being their father. You will go through this with me and your siblings. We are praying for you my dear.”

So here I’m writing to God, I know am your child and a child is writing to a father. I feel good already.

Dear God,
This is a short text to you. I pray to you everyday but today I wanted to make it simple. But I don’t know how. Thank you my personal health God. Thank you for the love that you showed me and the love that I have been able to share with others I have seen the value of waiting in my lifetime. And when I learnt that life is easy while waiting on you. God you know what to give us at the right time. God we are waiting on you to heal us. Sciencists are waiting on your knowledge you promised to us. We are waiting on your will. God right now we are calling. We are knocking father. Please hear us and open for us the door. Come father and heal us.
Your child Leah

This one goes the woman who gives me peace, who prays for me and my best friend. My mother, I call her Mum. She is the best I have ever had.

Dear Mum,
I want to let you know that I miss you and I would want to fly where you are right now. I want to be pampered and woke up to eat breakfast. Okay I know am old now that I should be waking you up Instead… But can I still do this? Oh yeah! Of course not!
I want to know you are okay. I feel you cover my legs as I kick the blankets! I wanted this Quarantine to find me there as you tell me to eat the fruits, to jump with you. I want all this and more. But I pray that God keeps you safe for me.
Baby Leah ❤️

This goes to the love of my life, okay aren’t husbands supposed to be the love of your life? Future husband I can feel the love already! Am waiting…

Hullo Future Husband
Did you know that this Quarantine made me think of us so much? Now I know the number of kids we will have! And then I’m now thinking of a scientific wedding? What did M7 mean anyway? Or you want to wait after the lockdown to have the Ugandan style of Wedding? Are clan and tribe members needed? Do we really need them?
Oh yeah… I know your answer, maybe that’s why you are quite. You want Mum to invite her friends! Hehehe… Okay maybe your parents also want the same! I don’t want to imagine Mum’s reaction on hearing that we wouldn’t wait! And she would ask; questions like, “where are we running to?”. So I simply wrote to say I love you. May the good Lord keep you safe for me until this is all over.
Your Future Wifey ❤️

This is just named over my nephew Liam but it’s also to my 2 beautiful nieces Thandie and Thalia. When you grow old. Know that Auntie Leah was already writing about you. I love you.

My Liam
I know you all might not read this today, but when you get old you will. I love you my dearest. You are more than a nephew and nieces to me. As an African, you are my children. I love so much. Please be obedient, keep loving fruits! I know your favorites are apples, banana and watermelon. Your immunity needs them. In this Quarantine you 3 are always my number one thought everyday. I picture you telling my kids how you were in lockdown. May the good Lord grant us health to see that. Stay safe ba sweetie. I love you.
Auntie Leah❤️

And here I’m writing to you Tuhame. You are blessed.

Dear Tuhame, I will keep this text short! You need to start on your career! You need to start now! Get out of that comfort zone! You need to work like NOW! BYE! I know you know the sender. Love you.

With everything going on, I pray it passes. Please stay safe. This Lockdown made me reflect on texts that I never sent that so badly wanted to send. But somehow, I thank God I didn’t.

TUHAME ❤️
