Anyway, congratulations on all your revelations.  You write wonderfully.

      <![CDATA[That was so good! Wonderful piece. You rock, I'll be looking for more from Ahamefule now.<br>
Reminds me of this quote:<br>
<br>
The fifteen-year-old daughter of a friend once addressed the old Carl Jung as follows: “Herr Professor, you are so clever. Could you please tell me the shortest path to my life’s goal?” Without a moment’s hesitation Jung replied, “The detour!”<br>

      <![CDATA[I absolutely love this piece. Being a Nigerian girl as well, I can understand the desire/ pressure to please our parents. But the only way to that is to please ourselves and be good at what we do; and in doing that we end up pleasing them in return. God Bless you and may you make Him proud instead.

      <![CDATA[I really enjoyed your story, thanks for sharing.  My heart went out to you at first, feeling your pain over missing your dad, and disappointing him.  Then I came to the same conclusion you did.  His abandonment of you made you the talented man you are today.  So in some ways, he did shape your future.  But remember, the only actions you control, are your own.  So put the disappointment and misery behind, add some jokes to your act, and keep on going.  Good wishes to you.

      <![CDATA[I commend you for being so civil when you spoke to your father that first time. I wouldn't have given that glorified sperm donor the time of day, turning 16 years of parental abandonment into elder abuse. <br>
