Dear Nana Yaa,
I know you are wondering why I am writing this letter
to you. You may be wondering why I shouldn’t just wait to say it to
your face. But don’t worry, I hope this will explain better to you.
to you. You may be wondering why I shouldn’t just wait to say it to
your face. But don’t worry, I hope this will explain better to you.
Where do I even begin?
Nana, as I will affectionately call you, I want you
to understand that I have been thinking about you and i and what we
can do together. I know this might sound weird to think about something
that I don’t have. The point is, I have always been jealous of my
father from the time I got to understand what love is and what it means
to be loved. It’s all because of how my mother treated him. She made
him feel like he is her entire world and if there should be a divorce
that will be the end of her life. She would wash his clothes, cook for
him, tolerate him, lay his bed and also satisfy him at night as well.
She did all these with tender love and care, like a sheep led to the
slaughter house, she never bleated. I know some will say all these are
old fashioned but is me I am old fashioned guy. Some will even see
my father as domineering. But from where I come from that is how women
loved and treated their husbands.

I want you to understand in advance that I am not
perfect. I am prone to make mistakes that may leave you scratching your
head; I did the same thing to my mother as a baby. In all these, treat
me like a new born baby sucking at the breast of his mother. I want
you to know that I will always do the best I can for us.

you to know that I will always do the best I can for us.
I becoming a better husband is based on several things.
Don’t lock me out emotionally when you are faced with things you think
I may not understand. Allow our home to be a haven, a place of rest
and refuge. I pray you have faith in me even when things don’t seem
right for you. Believe that with the two of us combining our inherent
powers, we can conquer anything this world will throw at us. Trust me
even if you have had it difficult trusting men from your past.

My future Queen, I don’t want you to be perfect,
a thought which I know would be impossible. I do not intend to marry
you because you are faultless. I totally understand that you are human,
not an angel, you may make mistakes, and that is the main reason why
I want to marry you.

I am marrying you because you are everything I want
and need in a future wife. I am marrying you because you are not perfect
for me. I am marrying you because it’s only you who can treat me like
how my mother treated my father.

Nana Yaa, our love will know no bounds. It will trickle
down to our kids like how smaller rivers rush into the sea. Our children
will know how to love because they will see it in us every day. I will
carry you from the bed every morning to the washroom, kiss you at every
opportunity I get and also dance with you in front of our kids (jokingly)

I hope you are preparing yourself for the journey
we will be embarking on. I don’t want you to bring trophies from your
past relationship where the guy disappointed you and broke your heart.
I am not like him, and I don’t want to feel like I will pay for his
transgressions. Those happenings had to happen to bring you to me and
me to you.

Nana, as I end my letter, I want you to know that
I can’t promise you that our relationship won’t have its challenges.
It will be disingenuous for me to suggest otherwise. But what I can
promise is that our lives together will be filled with more smiles than
frowns, happy cries than sad ones, joy than pain and more accomplishments
than failure as long as you will be with me. Never forget that I carry
you in my heart long before you will become my future wife.

I pray you will be the mum i had when growing up
and the kind of wife my mother was to my father.
