Where Is the Extended Family?
One morning, my son walked up to me and said "Daddy I have a very important request; Can you please build a very big house, where my cousins, uncles, aunties, nephews, nieces and other close family members will come and live with us? I want all of us to be living together. Daddy, this is my desire... If you can do this for me, I will be the happiest person in the world" This is rather an impossible task my son is requesting. while growing up,it was a delight living with extended families..we all looked forward to holidays when will see each again. Nothing gave us more joy than seeing other family members around. Some relatives had little or nothing, but their strength and wealth was in relationships and being together. The joy of holidays and celebrations still vibrate in my heart. We usually lose sleep to happiness during such seasons because,relatives would be coming home. It was such a delight to see siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunties, grannies,
