About three weeks ago, out of the blues I decided to send my dad airtime. Usually I send to my mum just because 😂😂. That day I was like why not daddy today? So I sent #1500 worth of airtime. I was too excited, I called immediately.
After the usual laughter, I told him, and at first he didn't understand. He thought I said I sent him a message so he was like "I'm yet to see it, let me check." Then I repeated it and he legit screamed "really? Airtime? #1500! Wow!" More laughter...
He was so so so happy I didn't even know when I asked him "daddy why are you so happy like you can't buy #1500 airtime?" He laughed it away. Tears welled up my eyes, I still can't explain the tears. I was feeling very heavy at heart with some major issues I was dealing with, but that call lifted the weight off me. I could laugh and cry and felt good that I could make my old man so happy despite all.
Later that day, he called to say thank you and that he wanted to call me with the airtime. We talked about other stuff and yeah.
Ever since that day, I have been experiencing different level and types of favour.
I thought to share the secret...
Nothing is really too small to appreciate these people we call mum and dad.
Don't wait till "you blow"; as much as we don't want to reason in that line, it might be too late then.
Start small if you must, start anyway.

Thanks for the reminder. It's been a while i bought either of them airtime. Parents appreciate the littlest things.
ReplyDeleteA few months ago, i bought my larebts5 wine and a card. When i got to the cashier and he told me the card was 1,500, i almost asked him to remove it. Lol. I'm glad i didn't. The card is sitting pretty in the sitting room.
Awwww
