The Diary Game: Remembering A Man Who Treated Me Like His Own(15/06/2026)

^{dirty plates}

The death of my friends father broke me into pieces, I didn't think it would happen so soon. I prayed like my life depended on it yesterday but God knows the best, I couldn't go outside as memories of him kept occupying my mind and I had to think of my friends reaction especially in a strange land where he is searching for greener pastures. I decided to wash the dirty plates at home this morning when I gathered the strength to leave my bed.

^peanuts

While I was washing, my neighbor knocked on my door demanding for peanut so I walked down to my bedside where I kept the bowl of peanut and took it to her and she picked four of it for her two kids. I went back to washing and brushed my mouth when I was done, I had my bath before calling my friend to know how he's doing and his plans concerning his father's death. I encouraged him to return home so as to look after the sister and ther properties.

He hanged up and found myself rolling up in disbelief that I've lost a father figure. Sometimes ago before I moved in with my sister, I squatted in his house as my father's house wasn't conducive anymore without my mom, he took care of me like his biological child and I have always wanted to return the favour but look what deathe did! I slept off while thinking and when I woke up, I ate food which happened to be the first meal yo eat my month since morning.

^working

In the evening, I joined some workers who came for construction work in my compound though it wasn't easy convincing them that I'm capable of doing the job as they thought that I'm a minor which is not entirely wrong. I got my pay after the job and I took my bath, ate and went to watch match.
