This is my brother's first daughter, her name is Emmanuella Miracle Sunday. This little girl has loved me since when she started crawling, like starting walking little by little. Every time I visited them in their house, I will carried her and played with her very well. I remembered most times if I want to go back home she will cried and wants to follow me. Her mother will carried her and pet her till she falls asleep or at times if she's crying so much and I couldn't bear her cries I will carried her and take her to our house to see my parents who are her grandparents. After my elder brother got married, he built his own house few meters away from the family house and moved in with his family. The little princess love for me I don't understand.
At first I thought maybe because I looked like her father and I can tell about daughter and father relationship especially first daughter. But seems this one is different. Even when her father is around, the moment I walked into their house and she sighted me from afar, she will run and hug me so tight and asked me to carry her or back her up. I got no choice than to do as she wishes. I'm her favorite and lovely Uncle she so much love and cherished everytime. Most times her mother will called me on the phonecall and said her daughter has been disturbing her that she wants to talk to me. Especially if I took awhile I didn't visit them in their house or maybe I traveled to school. The daughter is so beautiful, her skin shines and very fair like her mother.
At times if am going to their house I will have to buy her favorite drink, which is nutrite milk. She likes drinking nutitre milk and I've bought it for her whenever am going to their house if I have money.
She used to tell her mother when she grow up she will stay with me and I will be buying her nitrite milk everyday and we will all laughed. Even her father who is my elder brother was surprised how come his daughter has a strong bold towards me than the rest of the family.
This little girl doesn't used to allow me rest if am in there house. She will tell me story of what happened in the house, their school and even things her mother and father bought for her. She can even go to the room and bring the things her parents bought for her recently to show me. The bold between us is so strong and immeasurably.
This morning, her mother came to our hospital for her routine antenna or routine clinic because she's pregnant. I never knew she came with her daughter to the hospital until I heard a shout outside uncle! Uncle!! Uncle Emma!!! and immediately I recognized the voice of my brother's daughter and seems the voice was coming to the direction of laboratory. I came outside and saw her running towards me to the laboratory and I lifted her up and hugged her. I asked her who brought her here and she said her mother was sick that's why they came to my hospital.
I went to the O.P.D wig her and noticed her mother wasn't sick but came for her routine antennal or routine clinic checkup.
I greeted the mother and went back to the laboratory with the daughter, my niece. I told her there's no shop close by I could have bought her nitrite milk but when I got home I will buy it for her and she jumped up full of excitement.
I brought out my phone and took this amazing pictures with her. She knows how to position herself while taking pictures. She mother taught her how to take pictures. Watching my brother's daughter been so happy around me makes me happy and wished to do better to become a good Uncle to her. It's a love we shared by blood. As a saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Our blood is connected and the bond was strong. I pray she will grow in the strength and knowledge of God to be a good and respectful daughter.
And my love for her will never die off. She is such an amazing daughter no one can resist her kiss and smiled, especially me her favorite uncle.
