Tamara Chronicles

THE INCEPTION OF TAMARA

As legends say a good day begins at wee hours of morning, the crack of a sound in its bricks that placed a smile on a mothers face. Yes it was their first born child, a Baby girl; they just smiled at each other. Then she was placed on her hands, the first thing she did was smack her on the face with her little paws. The art of silence immediately mastered within the room, the noises shuttered out with the beats of joy in their hearts and melding joys in their minds. A small heaven, a little angel, a great blessing.

It has always been a mystery on how two come together and as one they join to make a new being, the new beginning, and the start of a new journey, new life, and a parable.

This is the day that the Lord has made

We will rejoice and be glad in it

This is the day that the Lord has made.

Only tears expressed the joy filled in the room, for the only crack of sound to be heard were the little giggles of the new born. If the moment would only last forever, but forever is a very long time for a moment that one comes to pass thru in a lifetime. Due to exhaustion her body became tired and immediately dragged her conscience to an imaginary world that appeared as a nightmare.............

"The final moments are close, I can feel movement in my tummy
I walk into the hospital hoping everything is alright to make sure you're growing and strong and healthy, This has been my dream ever since I got married I.e. having strong kids who would take care of me and always be there when I need them . I am distracted from my thought by the doctor; he says to be patient it will take some time. But I don't have some time to waste I am in pain and my medication has not been working for some time. Sometimes I think it is a boy because boys are normally stubborn even when inside the mother's womb. He continues to run some test, something is wrong I can see in his face. He silently stares at me with close eyes as I wonder whether to slap him in the face or spare him for his gaze. Finally he speaks , still very calmly tells me to calm down and that everything will be alright. That moment of suspense makes my eyes burst into silent tears ,but I ask What is Wrong Doctor? He doesn't speak for a while, then calmly, but this time with a hard voice says "Don't cry Madam this will end very soon but you have to be strong, for you and your child.", but ..........but............I was strong since I came from home and for me to be here I had to engage in a battle between me and my subconscious. Please doctor, be considerate and tell me the truth about what is happening or else I will report this incident to your superiors. He cools down takes a deep breath and opens his mouth only to be interrupted by a senior doctor.

Unfortunately before his words engulf my ears, a senior doctor enters and rescues him from telling me what was happening. They rush out of the room together and immediately a nurse comes in and takes me in a Dark room considered as a solitary confinement only to find out later, it was as an operating room. Please let everything be okay, for hours I was praying to God. In my sleep I was dreaming and in my dream I was sleeping for hours turned into days ,days into weeks and all I saw was pure darkness .until one day I saw light from a far and as I crept closer it became harder to view as the light grew brighter and clearer.................. Finally my eyes were open after a long struggle , Curtains wide open awaiting my return from the underworld. Instantly I hear a voice crying so loud yet so light, with coal black hair and rosy cheeks and eyes that sparkled blue. It's amazing how in an instant my life took on a new meaning as you glowed in my face erasing all the pain that I had just been through .The doctor, then entered the room congratulated me and Finally told me the truth, A miracle had taken place, so overwhelmed by my emotions I Gazed upon my tiny angel that was sent to me from above. I shall call her Tamara the most beautiful sunshine and attractive girl in the city.

What a great feeling!
A wonderful blessing!
Not everyone would see
But you are the beauty that defines it all.

Watching your baby gain independence and growth is the most exciting as well as it is a challenge to the little ones themselves. A major accomplishments every parent looks forward is watching his/her young one uttering her first word .In addition it is always fun to watch the little ones struggle with standing up ,walking or even crawling .The first days of motherhood are a blur of diaper changes and sleepless nights. You may not think it's amusing at that time, but it is the most adventurous journey a parent goes through. It was in the middle of one special night, an incident when my Husband was left with our Child and had to perform a special procedure known as The Diaper change. This was My husband's first ever diaper change, He had no idea where to start or were to end but he had no other option but to perform the procedure. Only this time, Tamara was not yet done with her business. So, as he was explaining this incident (i tried to picture a loving father adoringly changing a diaper only to be rapidly assaulted with projectile missiles from our young one.)His reaction, yet quick, was not able to avoid the missiles as they were propelled directly to his handsome face and clean clothes. Unfortunately for him I couldn't restrain the urge of bursting out in laughter as he concluded his story.

Weeks turn into months as the tiny angel is growing. She is becoming clever and more curious about the day to day activities with those people they create bonds, strong relationships, and lasting memories. It was now a year past and her first birthday received with great and warm showers. A class of relatives & friends flooding their home with gifts and joyful ululations as they sang the day out and enjoying the smile of the little one, the humming birds being shadowed. All she did was just gaze around the entire house with her huge round duchy blue eyes. They said a lot to her that she could not comprehend but her response was just amazing with lots of giggles. Amazing as she was she was destined for greatness and as her grandmother would say with Power comes great sacrifice and responsibility. Tamara was still young but her strive for independence was remarkable uttering her first word m...um at the age of only 6 months was incredible magical but raised a lot of questions . This made her Clueless parents go back to the hospital to check if everything was fine. Going back to the same hospital game her cramps as she was still traumatized the last time she was here. After three to four hours of our journey we arrived at the hospital, it was supposedly a normal checkup but to her it was scary, therefore she held her baby strongly with her arms not to let go, no matter what. On arrival, they had to wait for a few hours as the doctor was busy attending to the patients' one by one .it was half past twelve o'clock when the Doctor came to their aid; surprisingly it was the same doctor who made her life unbearable on the nights she had spent there. She warned him again about non-disclosure of confidential information to her and insisted that it wouldn't be tolerated. Therefore after doing some tests he reported back to them without hesitation.

Years flew by with days passing as the family ties grew stronger with more family trips.

                                                                For family is not just but blood

Loves keeps it one in a tie, strong ties

And a family with no love is just but a house with familiar people

                                                                Nota home but a timed bomb
