My Brother: Jeremiah

His name means, God Exalts.
His forehead is marked with a cross shaped scar.
He wears spectacles.
He is 19 going on 30 :-)
He is the last born.
He is wise beyond his years; philosophical even.
He is a natural gentleman.
He loves Jesus.
He can always be counted on to make me smile :-)- a testimony to his optimism in all things.
He can fix ANYTHING electrical; evidence of his experimental nature.
He first drove a car when he was 8 years old (he is daring like that!)
He will choose Nile Special or Tusker Malt, depending on his mood.
He had a 'long hair keeping' phase that almost drove mom mad :-)
He loves to dance.
He is an excellent actor.
His eye's apple is a damsel named Sheila :-)
He weighs....kg (I can't reveal this, coz he wishes he was heavier)  :-)
He has a quick temper :-(
He is the only person I know who likes to eat posho and beans!
He has the nicest hands and feet in our home exactly like our late Dad's.
He wants to retire at 30; which means he is already working hard to ensure his billionaire status in a few years :-)
He makes jigsaw puzzles for a living. Holla at him to make one from your potrait!
He can successfully carry on a conversation with people from ANY age group.
He is the kindest man I know.
He loves gadgets; in deed, even a little more than the average young man does.
He can be mischievous. Much like the well loved cartoon character he shares a name with.

    This young lad sure is everything you have written.
    Interestingly you hv forgotten that little piece of information that he sure is an encyclopedia of sorts :-) plus he is a hardhead especially when he believes he's ryt.
    what about the uniquely special bond you two enjoy and share(jealous face worn)
    A hat off for another Turyatemba in all their greatness.
    Oh n I hv the original story of how that cross shaped scar came to be.:-) actually hold a patent. So when its time for the biography am in for some good bucks without a doubt.

The Third Day- September...The Big 3-0!!!

So, today, I begin a new decade of my life. I am thirty (30) years old! W.O.W! These past couple of days, I have been meditating on Womanhood. Walking with God and Worthiness. I want to be part of something great this next decade. I desire a fresh start in many areas of my life. I regrettably spent the greater part of my twenties trying to be a man; to be tough, rough and seemingly brave. I numbed feelings, suppressed emotions and smiled little in bid to avoid fighting like a girl because girls are weak, they are shallow and they gossip. My best friends were boys until my femininity came to the fore as a  natural course of life and giving boys 'uncensored' hugs started 'causing problems'. All my ambition, my pushing and shoving to get ahead could not erase my innermost (very feminine) desires to be loved, to be treated kindly, to be listened to, sought after, and protected. I was with the boys but not of the boys. Revelation No. 1: I am a Woman and that's ok...

Dad

Dear Dad, Today, nine years ago, you changed your major  area code leaving many people pretty upset including uncle Kizza Besigye who I know would have appreciated your level of loyalty  considering memories of my S.4 vacation driving around Kampala with you as you manually tallied the Reform Agenda's votes at different polling stations:) Just so you know, Uncle K.B. is hassling; what with pepper spray, kicks, blows, gun butt beatings, being shoved under the car seats of police men (who we are all quite convinced are paramilitary- but that's a story for another day), insults, threats to his life...etc...you would have frothed at the mouth seeing how bad things have become for political opponents of the 'Great 1986 Revolutionary'.  Am sorry for putting such a lousy pic of you on the www but you hated pics so it's kinda your fault :) I cut my hair and decided I would like to keep it that way for the rest of my life...in fact, I am contemplating ...

Mother to Son...beautiful piece

A LETTER TO MY TWO YEAR OLD September 2, 2011 at 9:12 am by Pumla Nabachwa Every year, during the week of my children’s birthdays, i shall write them a letter and keep them in separate boxes and present them with these boxes the day they graduate. (& graduate they will) Today, I write a 2nd letter to my first born son…..now Trey Gateja……My pride…….My joy! My sunshine, It’s been 730 days & we’re both still alive………let alone sane. I’m not sure how I haven’t strangled you to death yet or left you out at night hoping that a hawk will grab you & take you far away from me. I’m quite perplexed that am not in a mental hospital, let alone 6 feet under. The doctors promised me that the pain stops immediately after the baby is delivered but nooooooooo…….we’re here today & I’m still pulling my hair out. Somebody once said; “it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby”…… that somebody doesn’t know that once you’re a mother, ‘normal’ is his...
