Yomi , an artist promoter is the first son of a sibling of four. He is a pleasant young man, working at an early age in a neighboring country and lives with his parents. He comes home every other month for a few days before he leaves for work again. On a cold winter work-day at about 6:00 am, his dad TJ left for work. Yomi had an intention to surprise his dad with his first gift, but didn’t know when he left for work. Immediately he realized that his dad’s car was not on the drive way, he picked up his phone to call. His dad left about five minutes ago. This conversation ensued
Yomi: Dad. Where are you?
Dad: I am on my way to work; any problem?
Yomi: No dad. Can you please come back?
Dad: Paused! OK
On getting back to the house, Yomi was already waiting on the drive way. As the dad was rolling down the car window to find out why he was asked to come back, Yomi slipped into his hand a rolled paper and said “take this”. Before the dad could check what Yomi had given to him, he went back inside the house. When the dad checked, it was two $100 bills. Wao! Yomi’s gift shocked his dad as he wondered how at a young age of 19 , Yomi had grown matured enough to develop such a generous , compassionate and loving heart for his parents. It was an emotional one for TJ, who felt he had the whole world from his son without asking! This made him very happy throughout the day. Ever since, Yomi has been a regular giver not only to his parents, but his siblings, relatives, friends and anyone who comes in contact with him.
Think about this:
A small gift to one’s parents give them great joy, even if it means making them smile.
May God make Yomi’s children reciprocate him, grant his parents long life and grant us all the wherewithal to make our parents and others smile always amen.
Ameen nice one. Very correct, even when our parents ve the whole world to themselves the little things we give them mean the world to them
