Dear Daughter,
I chose a path that was wrong for your coming into this world. I regret how much this would shape the cause of your life. I didn’t mean to put the cart before the horse. No, I wanted to have a baby the right way, in the confines of marriage. My whole life I have always been careful. Then I met your father.

All it took was a few months, for my life to change direction. The values I held on to slipped away so easily. I am ashamed I sinned. I still struggle to accept that I am carrying the fruit of my fall.
Everyday I think about the journey ahead I tell myself that I should have waited. If I had been married first, the news of pregnancy would have been joyful. I would have told my parents, “Dad. Mum. I’m bringing you another grandchild.” Instead, I disappointed them.
Instead of joy, you have heard my outbursts, my cries, my quiet melancholic sighs. Maybe you can even feel the bitterness inside me.

Dear Daughter, please forgive me. Know that you are special, regardless of my fears and mistakes. Don’t hold my actions and feelings against me; sometimes I truly cannot help it.
As for your father, he was someone who once seemed kind, responsible, and trustworthy. Now he has become my worst nightmare. My biggest regret. He is not here, as always. Sometimes I don’t even know whether I need his presence or his absence, because the absence feels peaceful while his presence feels chaotic to my heart.
Does Marriage Benefit Men More Than Women?
My darling girl, despite the difficulties, I was happy when I found out you were a girl. You have been gentle with me during this pregnancy, and I believe you will be gentle with me in life too. I don’t know how things will turn out, but I promise you we will be fine. I will never jeopardise your life again. I will work hard, save hard, and pray hard. My goal now is to be the best mother you could ever ask for.
My dear girl, you will be my Princess, my own Ewura. I am ready to do things right. What has happened has already happened. All that matters now is how we move forward. And as we move forward, I assure you that we will be fine.
