The Bleeding Heart
Back to then and to my Uncle Gab, the
centre piece of this story. Uncle Gab was about 32, tall, slim built, fair
complexioned, and actually very handsome. He was loved by all but also the one
everyone complained and worried about the most. He was troublesome, not
necessarily quarrelsome, he dropped out of school, and early in life, went into trucking
where he made real good money.
At that point in time he had a Land Rover Jeep with which
he did his business trucking people, but mainly goods from the hinterland to
the city. Despite the fact that Uncle Gab was doing very well in all his
businesses, it took quite an effort to get him to settle down to a family life.
On the other hand, he became quite popular in town, as the "ladies man." An
otherwise good natured and very pleasant person, Uncle Gab had the flare for
both the bottle and women. Full Story

They have been married for about 15 years and between them, they have two
lovely children, Omowale, a boy of 12 and Omotola, a girl of 8. Dan, 42 was a
Geologist and worked with a reputable Oil Company in town while Kiki, 38 trained
an Educationist, taught the Sciences in a High School. By the nature of Dan's
job, he spent quite a great deal of his working time out of town and precisely
on the field, mostly offshore. Kiki became a blessing to the family since by her
own work schedule and as an Educationist, she spent quality time with the children.
From Kiki's account, each time Dan was home to see them, he left them with
indelible memories and in her words, Dan was an "adoring father" and a
"wonderful husband". That was not until one dark Monday when their world turned
around and its bearing seemed to be lost forever.
What happened that Monday? In which way has it affected an
otherwise wonderful family? Where could they have gone wrong? To find out, read
the full story of Kiki. Full Story
