I am a new and first-time father. My son Quuqu is one year one month old. I love him very much. He has completely changed my perception about life. I now pay attention to Child Savings and Investment plans adverts on TV and radio. I know i should have started on this journey a long time ago.
I have to be awake very early to do a few chores before Quuqu wakes up otherwise all preparations to go to work will delay. At least now i am able to change a diaper and sometimes babysit while my wife goes to work or to town.I am not complaining because i love him and my wife and i know they love me in the same measure, if not more, for the 'little" help i offer.
The main thrust of this piece is to tell you how i also take care of a "son" i have at home, which has also affected and changed my life. I brought him home at a cost running into some hundreds of GHC. I read alot about him before bringing him home. He took a ride in our Toyota Corolla car through the bumpy surburbs of Odorkor, Darkuman, Tesano, Achimota before we finally arrived home at Dome. Gosh! He had defecated in the car which i needed to clean before going to bed. I needed to use a feeding bottle to feed him else he will go to bed on an empty stomach. Tried as i did he will not eat. I nearly cried. Hurray! my heart leapt with joy when he started eating and stared at me. Oh my "son", please eat for me, i said. I can't afford to loose you, not because you cost me alot of money, but because you are part of the family now.
Which "son" am i talking about ? Find out more in subsequent posts in the coming days..................................
