I do not like repeating words, especially when it's a family celebrating something once in so many days, anyway, let us raise a glass for the son of magic waters. At one time I had narrated how and where our routes crossed path, for we just like country boys, that passion had brought us together whether by mistake, nor by purpose, or even by MISTAKEPURPO....now that's my word am only waiting for licence to add it, that is OKERINDEs' marvelous product, with him, you will always have newer words in your tank, let us still not forget, it's a new year for the Abelejayan narrator.....
