“From Zero to ...”
- an excerpt
from the biography of Rev. Dr. Chigbundu
….The child's birth had taken place in the month of May when
farmers were almost through with the planting of various crops,
so people generally stayed home till noon to avoid being caught
up by the rains, which usually came at that period of the year.
This very day, no one ventured outside as it was the day to celebrate
the arrival of little Abby into the Chigbundu household.
The young father's relatives were proud that another man had
just joined the family. The joy of the extended family members
was visible on their faces. The young man had born the heir who
would succeed him in his family line. According to tradition,
he had fulfilled his ancestral role of replacing himself. He had
become a father and was very proud of it.
“What manner of child would this be?” the young mother had
pondered over and over again in her young mind.
“My son would comfort me”, she muttered to herself, smiling
under her breath, as she realized that her name was Comfort.
