Dear Dad,
I know you are doing very well.
Lois Kolo loves the fact that she sees you more often now, not like those days when work took you away from us for longer.
Sadly, it's not husband's day today, but Father's Day. To compound issues, I'm not home, so we can't play FIFA 2012 on my laptop, watch FIFA Confederations Cup together, or throw banters at our football teams (I hate it that you left Liverpool for Arsenal).
You've tried to be a very good father in our lives, but all we ever wanted was a father. A figure who's life reflects upon our paths as we grow. How can I forget the forced siestas, and the 10pm curfew, so that we don't stay out late, even though I was the only one breaking the rule.
You made our house Kolo, Kolo & Co., like a drama/comedy ensemble. Don't worry, even though I feel you gagged me in some of my poetry, you did a good job, and I love you all the way.
I couldn't have asked for more of a father, except that I turned out an Oliver Twist. Thus, like you always TOLD us to be our best always, I'd arrogantly throw the challenge back at you daddy, to be the best father you can be, to us. We dissipate a lot of energy loving you, and all we want back, is your love. Nothing more.
Today, we Evelyn Fatima Kolo, Kolo Kenneth Kadiri, Jesse Kolo and Rachel Kolo celebrate you. And lest you forget, Kolo Gloria is the extra you asked for. We love you, and pray that you stay around for longer and see all your grandchildren.
Happy Father's Day!
