Ohh! Mum again. Calls me home and says it is urgent. I have been thinking if it is some of of trick to get me up there so that I spend Christmas with the family. I asked what the problem was, over and over and she said “please just come, it is urgent and we can’t talk it over the phone”.

She claims my Aunt and Her have got important issues they want to discuss with me. She says it concerns my dad’s death celebration and other important things we have to do at the palace. That is the only lead she gave after I insisted for a very long time.

Well, mum is mum and I have to trust that she does not just want me to make an unnecessary trip to Bamenda. I therefore will be traveling to Bamenda this night. I haven’t even told my baby, but I guess she will understand and let me go.

That’s a question mum asked me and i must accept it is a very tough one.

I have been out of my hometown for a period of 8 years now, and during this long time, I have been spending less than a month per year at home. Mum considers this unfair to the family and will like to accuse me of not paying visits back home at all. When she asked me over the phone yesterday if I will be coming back home, I answered without any second thoughts.

Did I answer “Yes” just to please mum or I am really making plans to go for Christmas and spend it with the family. This is a very difficult question.

I have lots to gain, technically, if I visit home so I really don’t know why I should be in doubts. I really want to have the fun of traveling, spending time with my family, visiting friends, and going on the hills, valleys and plains for some sightseeing.

On the negative side, I will miss my friends in Buea and also break communication with those i talk to over the net. I will also miss blogging and generally, I will miss work.

Whatever decision I am about to take, I can’t forget mum wants me at home. That alone matters very much, so I have decided I will pay a visit to Home Sweet Home.
