LETTER TO MY DAD

#SilentNoises ~knm
Hi dad, Happy Father’s day!!! I miss you dad. Are you still eating fufu everyday or now you are on diet? Are you still practicing law? How are uncles and aunties doing? Dad, this letter basically is an apology to you and Mom for my behavior at times. Your disciplinary tactics have paid off. I now understand you more than ever before. People don’t seem to understand me but Dad, I …know you will because I am a chip (more like a replica) of the old block. Yes, I will not compromise on my principles and disciplinary standards  and its all good. More respect always. Love you Dad. Mr. K.W. Mensah thank you. Thank you so much. Dad please say hi to Mommy.
NB. I will not be writing to you again for some time because your grand kids are giving me Wahala.
