I got to hang with my friend and brother today @tendai_nyamz , who also happened to be my senior in primary school. And we decided to go down memory lane and visit our primary school. Oh boy, what a treat it was. As we walked through the school,I was so grateful to have been at this school. It dawned on me,that this was the school that fueled my love for the arts. I learnt marimba and piano in that school. I was given the platform to be my artistic self at this school. The man and women you see in the pics taught us some foundational lessons that I still hold on to today. Its true when the elders say it takes a village to raise a child. These teachers are part of that village. The friends I made at SOS are a part of that village too. To see the pride and joy on their faces when they saw us was EVERYTHING! @sandraxshe @simplysandile @lindyphili @grettalk @gretchin @kubietwins I think a reunion is needed one of these days #memorylane #goingbacktowhereitallbegan #iambecauseofthem #SOS

Honor thy father and thy mother. Although I am adopted, the two individuals have been my parents and they are all I've ever known. The love, words of wisdom, prayer and discipline have not gone in void Mom and Dad. The Lord knows I pray for the days where I can freely be with them with no limitations and restraints. My heart is missing them deeply tonight. I pray daily for God to cover them with his cloak of protection and mercy. I pray for the individuals taking care of them, that they be blessed. The role of a parent is vital. I thank God for blessing me with ones that loved and cared for me with his love! 💗🙏🏾 #myparents #missingthemdearly #theyvehelpedmoldme #iambecauseofthem
