10th of May, 2013
My friend has become the father of a baby boy and I have been elevated to the status of Big Mamma. I am so elated!
However, when his wife's water broke at around 3 in the afternoon on 10th of May, we all panicked. He rushed her to the hospital while the whole family bent our heads in unison to the omnipotent, knowing that He will see us through. And in another two hours time, we were all besides ourselves with joy as he called to tell us, "It is a baby boy." I was with Tirus at the ice-cream parlour and I almost screamed, tears of joy streaming down my cheeks.I had been praying fervently for this very day. Praying that everything goes through fine and the family is happy.
Praying has always given me such a high. On Friday afternoon, when I sat on the floor and raised my hands towards the Almighty, the one thing I could feel was an ethereal quietness and a deep sense of understanding of the spirits at work. I felt calm and quiet, the otherwise tumultous thoughts laid to rest in some deep recesses of my brain. Tears involuntarily rolled down and I cried till I could cry no more. The only thing I sought for was happiness and peace for the whole world! I prayed that everyone (irrespective of whether I know them or not) should get what they are seeking for; their dreams fulfilled.
And then the news of becoming Big Mamma. What more can I ask for? I am happy as happy could be!!

She used to be my enemy and never let me be freeCatching me in places that I knew I shouldn't beEvery other day I crossed the line, I didn't mean to be so badI never thought you would become the friend I never had

Mama, I love you, Mama, I careMama, I love you, Mama, my friendYou're my friend
I didn't want to hear it then but, I'm not ashamed to say it nowEvery little thing you said and did was right for meI had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to beNever had a sense of my responsibility
