It was December 27th, 2023, 2 days after Christmas.
It was a cool Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Moses made Sam's best native food, fufu and Banga soup that evening. After father and son ate to their fill, they were in high spirits.
Mr. Moses looked at his son. "Son, are you ready?"
"Yeah," Sam took a deep breath, then he smiled. "I'm ready".
Father and son were both dressed in a neat black suit as Mrs. Moses and Sophia walked up to them, adding the finishing touches to their dressing.
Then, Mrs. Moses gave them a thumbs up. They were ready to go.
"I love you". Mr. Moses whispered and kissed his wife on the lip before carrying his briefcase and turning to leave.
Sam grinned as he stared at his excited sister. "Sophia, when I come back, you better speak to me with a little more respect".
"Yes big bro!" She said loudly, eliciting laughter from the rest of the family.
