“Sometimes my Nanny takes us out to local neighborhoods and we see how families are happy with the little they have.
We see kids running around, playing all sorts of games with big smiles on their faces. I always wonder what gives them so much joy. My siblings and i always want to go back there coz that’s the life we wish for. Our parents expect us to be happy with all they do for us.
They fly us out on our birthdays, buy us everything we ask for, we put on the best clothes and all, but still, the lack of peace in the house overshadows every other thing. Sometimes we are in our room and they think we are sleeping meanwhile, we are crying our eyes out while listening to them quarrel. On my last birthday, after I blew my candle, I wished for God to keep my parents together forever and I trust him to that…”
