I chose to look after my first set of twins as it was more manageable dealing with two grown-ups who believed I was disabled. I aimed to promote two things, or so I believed. I cleaned, chopped, and cooked. Oh, my dear Oiajulu Poco Okafor! Love, my dear… I will miss you in the next life.
He took care of Kōy and Kaira, fed them, cleaned the house, joined me in the kitchen, cleaned up afterwards, told me to go to bed, and still checked on us every hour. He knelt by my side to pray for hours, then slept while praying.
I was encouraged to pack some clothes for a trip to LIFE AWKA for medical treatment to ensure my well-being. I cried deeply, not because I was upset, but because I had given it much thought. I thought about who would take care of my hobbies.
How would they eat in distant Awka with Hū̄y? How would they go to school? How would I balance caring for my husband, kids, and myself at the same time? Oh! Crying so hard. I had no idea that God had already planned it all out.
We took the kids to my in-laws. Pius Okafor, Maureen Okafor, Chukwu Gold, and my kid sister stayed with her. By the way, thank God for my in-laws, sister Chioma Paul, and parents. Proper care was given to my pets. My mother took my daughter to school with her driver so she could prepare for work after school.
I love you, my friend! As the proverb goes, “A lady appreciates her mother more when she starts having her own affairs.” Very true. They co-managed my properties while we were abroad. When Kōy and Kaira visited me at the clinic, I was thrilled since they had gained a lot of weight.
Their appearance was well-kept. I wondered how my mother and younger sister were surviving, as Kōy and Kaira still woke up every 3 hours to feed at night. Long story short, my sister stopped that. How? A story for another day.
I had a quadruplet at 32 weeks, marking the start of a new journey. The past few months have been challenging. The four of us can set the temperature at 1°C (particularly after immunization) and sleep for up to 30 minutes each night. At one point, I wondered if immunization was required.
Every aspect of the company has been a success. They all want equal attention and to be fed at the same time. Despite planning for three outfits, we only used one, resulting in a lot of egging. Kōy and Kaira aren’t vanishing!
Adding my fashion dreams to an already challenging life has been difficult. When I started, I had doubts about attending a fashion school with all the constraints. There was no free time. I chose online learning. YES! I learned all about design without a fashion house.
At night, after everyone has gone to bed, I sleep for two hours and wake up to search the internet for fashion inspiration. THE MIND!!! The mind is crucial for success, therefore trust us! I’ve been here for months, becoming stronger each day. I never thought I could accomplish it, but here I am.
We turned one year old today, explaining my happiness on this day. It marks the start of freedom to a certain extent. Seeing everyone tapping up and down is not easy, as I’ve mentioned before.
