Friendship

For years, the 30th day of July has been set aside to celebrate the day of friendship.

A few countries celebrate this on the first Sunday of August.

One of these countries that celebrate in August is me, yeah… Me.

I celebrate it in August because I love August…it’s the month of my birth.

Friendship; a mutual feeling/affection between two people.

I wasn’t brought up to accept friendship. My mum must have been dealt a hard blow by a friend or something because she would always remind me and my siblings that we didn’t have friends…

My mom made sure I knew that a friend was separate from a classmate, a neighbor, a colleague and all.

A friend was a friend.

I managed to figure it out over the years… I have made some good friends.

My sisters… Dough, Angela, Msugh…anr my other “sisters”… Gosha, Gyen, Ngodoo.

Cousins… Su, Henry.

Friends from childhood that have spanned three decades and more… Dooyash, Enach, Dudu, Vivian, Rosemary.

Friends from boarding school that stayed with me… Uzoma, Oyidu, Rikye, Pasen.

A friend from University that became a sister… Ronnie.

A neighbour that became a friend…Orako

Friends I’ve made in the course of life…Helen, Nguwa, Aves.

Cheers to all of you darling friends.

I celebrate you today

Happy Friendship day
