Repetitions
Iāve long wanted to track this in someway. Iāve often come across things in twos (especially when in Ghana) and I think that collecting these echoes might yield an interesting observations. I will remember some of the ones I unfortunately didnāt write down later and add them. But for now this one.Ā
My grandmaās sister told me about how she was sent (as a small child) to live with a woman who was hoping to conceive children. I thought that was bizarre. My rational mind questions the kind ofĀ āmagicā orĀ āforceā or āprincipleāĀ that would make a child appear because there is another little child around.
But yesterday, my best friends mom told me the same thing. Her father had left her in their village, Odumase. And only came back for her after a pastor made the recommendation. Her father had gone with his new wife (her stepmother) to a prayer meeting, and after prayers, the pastor divined and demanded he bring his abandoned daughter back into the fold. The stepmother gave birth 2 years from then.Ā
