Almost a Mrs somebody

I get to leave lagos for Awka tomorrow for my traditional marriage coming up like a weeks time. Funny enough, i don't even feel excited or anything. I'm actually dreading that day 'cos i really dont want to cry wen it's time to leave my parents home with my husband's people.

It's not easy to be a woman oh! How can one just get up one day and leave people she's known all her life? People who's shared her joys and tears, been there for her all the time, People she's very comfortable with, her primary family, for another family consisting of people who are practically strangers. It's not easy. I've been trying so hard to get used to it, but it's so hard. I find it hard to believe that by the time i return to Lagos after easter, i'll be moving out of my parents home finally into my new home. Lawd! How i'll miss my old room. I'll miss our family home. It's true that Patrick and i have a beautiful new home, but we all know that there's no place like home. There can never be any place like home.


So, i'm dreading leaving my family on the 11th of April. My elder sister called today and asked me not to cry that day oh! I laughingly told her that i'll try, but she should be telling that to my mum. I might be strong on that day and end up not crying, but if my mum as much as sheds a single tear, that will do me in definately.


Father Lord, i commit that day into ur hands.


Another thing i'm worried about concerning that day is dancing. I dont think i'm a very great dancer. My mum is a very good dancer, so are my sisters. Well, i dance okay, but only wen i'm alone in the privacy of my room. How do i do it that day being the cynosure of all attention? Will i be able to do it or become overwhelmed with shyness? Father, again, i commit that day into ur hands oh!


So tomorrow, my flight is by 2:45pm....Aero contractors. I really pray everything goes well. I pray for safe journey for my family who are also travelling tomorrow but by road. I get to go by air b'cos i'm pregnant, and can't take the risk of travelling all the way to the east by road. Right now, i'm all packed and ready to go. By the time i get back and post pictures, i'll be a Mrs somebody.


Lord i give u all the praise. If not for you..............
