The Circle of Life: From Childhood to Old Age, Every Moment Matters

The beautiful part of being old

The beautiful part of being old



One of the wonderful phases of the cycle of life is the arrival of a newborn baby into the world, after a months-long, agonizing pregnancy. 


The devoted mother, after labor, sees her wonderful child in her arms and immediately forgets all the pains she passed through. You can hear the baby crying because he/she is hungry.


Looking after the baby becomes the task of her mother in the morning, afternoon, evening, and at night. The mother can't sleep when the child is sick, making her lose the precious sleep she needs.

The Greatest Gift at Christmas: Giving Children Love, Care, and Happiness


Lovely children

Lovely children


It`s great to be young. As a child growing up in Africa, I could remember how happy I used to be when my father shared a bottle of Fanta or Coca-Cola with his children. 


Even though we were four in number, we were happy and proud of our father for providing us with a bottle of Fanta.


We didn`t derive our happiness from the Fanta given to us, but the love our father had for us to buy that bottle of Fanta was what made us happy.
