The
title of the book comes various experiences in my life… But mostly it comes
from holding my daughter for the first time, words do that experience justice
and we men we don’t have that many words lol. Just the way my daughter looked
at me and I looked at her and we having this wordless conversation in my heart
of hearts I understand that I love this person in my hands more than love myself and she reminds me how real Mr God is, and I don’t
even releaise tears are stream down my face until some tries to wipe them off,
and I put her down and i rush to the phone and try to call my mom but I can’t dial
because I can’t see the numbers because that’s how many tears are streaming ,
when I finely get my mom on the other side of the phone, I am crying and
apologizing to my mom for all the bad
things that I did while growing up that caused her stress and I started unnecessary confession about
the cookies stolen and change not returned, at this point my mom thinks I have
being diagnosed with a terminal illness, like all African mothers she is trying
to calm me down asking “whats wrong baby what’s wrong” ( with African mama your
always her baby you be 80 and still be baby lol)… first thing I said to my mother was “ and you love me
like this” and for the first time I had a real idea of how much my mother actually loved
me … there that inspired that title half way through the book.
