One Son Coming
You probably remember my children. Chinaku is the oldest. He was here from Nigeria. He came last Saturday night.
In a fitting tribute, he lit a candle at church last Sunday to remember Clem. He wasn’t here for Clem’s Memorial Service a year and nearly 10 months ago. But he stayed just a week. He had spent the last night in New York to visit Nkiru (his granddaughter). Then he used the few hours remaining with his friend.
You may also remember Beth, my middle child and only daughter. She lives in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. My youngest, Sam, also based in Nigeria, is on a whirlwind tour of East Africa and then South Africa.
Chinaku came with thoughts on my moving! The background is that I had written what I want, namely that I want to move in with Beth. Chinaku said if that is what I want, I should make it happen sooner rather than later. He advised looking in Norwalk because that is where I am now. But Beth doesn’t like that idea.
She doesn’t know where she wants to end up. One possibility is Nashville. Another possibility is Miami, but that is not realistic for her, given Ikem’s need for service. He is autistic.
She has talked about Montclair, New Jersey. That is a possibility for her and for me.
I would like that. We have friends who live in Montclair. I know there is a Unitarian church nearby.
Chinaku believes that Kelvin will be able to sell their house quickly but I’m not so sure. Also I am not sure about how soon Kelvin wants to move! Lots of missing pieces for us to figure out!
Another Son Around Africa
Sam is also in Nigeria but is on a trip to East Africa and to South Africa this week and next. It sounds exciting, visiting this places.
He’ll even have a few days in Johannesburg, South Africa. I hope he will have a good time there.
Happy Thanksgiving
From all of us to all of you – we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.
