I grew up in a family that was well known and established within a small village in Kikuyu. This denoted for my grandparents were hardworking . my grandpa thrived and flourished in businesses whereas my grandma worked miracles in the farming sector. The two elders just worked hand in hand without discouraging each others output.
They excelled through God's grace. As years passed they were blessed with eleven bundles of joy that made their life feel complete. They worked more harder and raised the womb blessings as well as they could. The children lacked for nothing they were loved, nurtured and secured just like a lioness does to it's cubs.
Though they were uneducated ,they never lacked the knowledge of education is the key to a better life. Hence they ensured that their heirs and heiresses joined in schools to acquire education . Though not everyone thrives in education they ensured that at least each acquired the basics. As usual some quitted and chipped in helping their parents in upbringing their siblings while others chose to chew and embrace learning.
Some ventured in businesses , teaching and others remained in schooling. After all they never breathed air on the same day.
