From when a medical condition was detected while I was pregnant to weekly scan, bedrest at home and sometimes in the hospital, I was just doing everything that came to my head. Chapel was my second home (I’m a catholic). I did so many charity both at the orphanage homes and on the streets. My father’s portrait wasn’t left out, I always pray with it because I was very close to him and immediately he died, I knew he will come back to me. My cutest Kenechukwu is home and he’s perfect💃💃💃.”
