    About this ebook

    And yet, through it all we learned to persevere. Rather than focus on distance, the long road to school, we walked in groups instead; we talked and laughed about many things that allowed us to succumb to what was. And what was? The daunting realities of living in the village were all too real; the unimaginable truths were one too challenging for children our age.

      Acknowledgments

      I would like to thank my father, who, despite his age did the best only he could to carter to our needs. At 78, father still walked hundreds of miles in search of food, clothes, money, etc., to ensure his family was well taken care of. Without his selfless love and tenacity, there is no me.

      Father had already reached middle age, perhaps in his early fifty’s, when he started having children. My father’s father died young, when father and his two sisters were only children; as a result, father worked hard to support himself through school.

      It is for that same reason that father decided not have children early in life. He went on to become one of those who made something of themselves, despite the fact that he grew up as a step-child.

      Introduction

      The world is full of uncertainty; certain things push humanity through the world’s crises and bends, where one has to keep it moving, or he is finished. The world for sure is no longer what it was a year ago, but sometimes it makes absolute sense to hold on to what you know and believe to be true.
