Hi Mum!


Am so glad that you are safely back at Home. I also thank God for answering My Prayers.

Am not Going to talk More because because Since on Sunday there is a Huge Problem of an Internet connection in Dar-s-salaam. That is even why I couldn't Chart with My Dad Mr.Jimmy when you left.

Then don't get worried if I miss a day without sending you an Email, Just know that it's the same problem.

But am very very happy for your nice come back.

Am also delighted to hear that you are happy with a decision I made Concerning Mr.Iddi & the Monthly Money.

Yes, it has to be like I explained.

Wao!! you really had a nice Trip! Untill the Presence of the Former vice President Al Gore?

I'll be back tomorrow again for more talks as usuall.

I welcome you again back to our lovely home Cleveland.



MAY GOD BLESS YOU,

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Apr 29 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


Am so glad to hear that you had a safe journey to Chicago & that you are safely back to Cleveland.

It's also nice to hear about your Speech & Al Gore's Speech.

Your son Bashir is still doing well. But Dar-es-salaam's ways are all impassable due to Unstoppable Rainfall.
Water & Muds are everywhere.

I would also like to tell you that there is a Huge internet Problem here in Dar-es-salaam.
That Problem is been Since on Sunday. That is even why I couldn't send an Email to My Dad Mr.Jimmy.
Then if I miss a day without sending you an Email, you should know that it's because of that.


MAY GOD BLESS YOU,

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Dear Bashir, I hope my dear son is doing well! I had an excellent trip to Chicago for the convention of the International Reading Association. I attended various lectures given by authors, and a special speech given by Al Gore, the former Vice president of the United States. He spoke on the importance of reading and literacy for all. He is a great speaker! I presented a speech on bibliotherapy, which is using books for personal growth and problem-solving. Also, I saw lots of friends, including some friends who were also in Dar Es Salaam at the conference last August!

My airplane travels were easy and safe. My hotel room was on the 36th floor of a high-rise hotel! Douglas sends his greetings to you. He and his girlfriend Jen and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at a restaurant near my hotel.

Today I am still getting caught up at work and have a busy day ahead! And I continue training for the 10k race, which takes place on May 16. My training is going well.

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR SON!

Your loving and dedicated Mum

Apr 25 2010 from Cleveland

Habari, Son? I'm so glad to know of your relief after receiving my email!

Right now, I must attend to funeral matters for Uncle Russell and for Kristen, including the sending of flowers and the notification to all my family members.

I will be home later to write you a better email!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH PEACE AND JOY!
Your loving and caring Mum

Dear Son, it's now Sunday night in Cleveland. It has been a busy day.

I want to tell you that I will be taking a business trip to Chicago. I will leave Cleveland on a plane very early Monday morning, and return very late Tuesday night. During that time I will not have any computer or email! I am not bringing my laptop on this trip.

Mr. Jimmy will be here at home in Cleveland and you are most welcome to email him while I am traveling!

I will email you again on Wednesday, but it might be Wednesday night in Dar Es Salaam. So Please Do Not Worry About Your Mum, only pray for my safe travels!

In the meantime, I will pray for my beloved Son Bashir and think of you with a mother's love.

My business on this trip is the International Reading Association convention in Chicago. If God wishes, I will also see Douglas and have dinner with him!

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR AND FINE SON BASHIR!

Your loving and devoted Mum

Apr 24 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


It's saturday morning here in Dar-es-salaam! The sky is queit Clear & it promises to be a sunny day.
Nowadays we are having Rain in Dar-es-salaam. But it does not spend the whole day falling. It starts & Stops after a short time. The soil is queite wet & Muds are everywhere in the Untard streets. The problem is that the land of Dar-es-salaam holds water. It does not allow water to go down excessively. As a result even a little Rain Causes & leaves the ways Impassable. Because water occupies all the land. Then it's really difficult to walk around when the Rain Comes.

But the land of Malawi is very Good because when Rain Comes, water goes down so Fast & leaves the land dry within a short.

Oh!! am so worried about Cleveland Cavaliers's Defeat by Chicago Bulls. Sorry to my Brother DOUGLAS & am hoping to hear about a nice Come back of Our Team in the next game.

Manchester United are Playing Tottenham Hotsper today at 3p Tanzania time. I hope we going to beat them & make sure that our hopes of a Tittle Race are a live & Undoubtful.

So, I will be back after watching the game. That will be at 5pm Tanzania time. Let me now say hie to My Dad Mr.Jimmy.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR

Apr 22 2010 from Cleveland

Habari, my dear Son, the Entertainer? I'm happily singing, "Wooo-Hoooo!" to know that you and Hilda have received both packages! And I'm happy you enjoy all the contents of the packages!

I did get a lovely email from Hilda, too, and will write her a reply.

For sure, you definitely should write your autobiography! Yes! It will be inspiring, entertaining, educational, and amazing to many readers. Writing a book takes a long time, and you do it day by day. You can write a little every day. I encourage you to do it! Remember the questions I sent you a long time ago? Maybe some of those questions will help you get started writing your autobiography!

Your Dad Mr. Jimmy enjoyed your great email! He showed it to me because he was very proud and happy to receive such a fine correspondence from our Dear Son. I too was very proud of you when I read your wise insights about Barack Obama and how great leaders must be great presenters to succeed.

Tonight the Cleveland Cavaliers play the Chicago Bulls for Game 3 of the playoffs. Douglas lives in Chicago but he will not attend the game in person. He will watch it on TV!

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR SON!

Your loving and dedicated Mum

Apr 21 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


Am proud to say that Our worries about the Packages are now Over!

I & Hilda got the Packages today. Hilda went to pick them yesterday at the post Office.

We have got everything, The Books & the Gifts from Florida.

I like the Book & it is really interesting to read. Even Hilda likes it too!!

I hope one day I will be a friend of a Writer of this Book when I will visit Cleveland if God Wishes as you always say.

But myself too!! I would like to write my Biography. I will do that when I have a chance.

Wao!! your Pictures are nice & interesting to see. Both you & Dad Mr.Jimmy are looking so Energetic & Healthy.

I will keep the Seashell so safely.

Did you get Hilda's Email of today concerning the Packages?

Nice to hear about Cleveland Cavaliers. They are really fantastic & Magnificent.

Yes, KOBE BRYANT is one of the best players indeeed. That is why last season he was chosen as 'NBA Player of the Tournament'.

Let me now say hie to My Dad Mr.Jimmy!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!

AM YOUR SON,
THE ENTERTAINER.

Apr 20 2010 from Cleveland

Dear Son, I'm very happy to know you continue to have good sleep and sweet dreams on your new mattress! Indeed it will be even better when you have your new and nicer room in the month of May.

Last night, the Cleveland Cavaliers again beat the Chicago Bulls in the playoffs! Now the Cavaliers lead the playoff series 2 victories to none (the Bulls have none). The Cavaliers must win 4 games to advance to the next round of the playoffs.

For sure, we do know Kobe Bryant! He is one of the best players ever and we respect his talent. Christopher likes Lebron James the best! Your Dad is not much interested in any basketball except for when Christopher and Douglas were in highs school and college, when he liked to watch their school teams play!

I am astonished that the mail takes such a long time to travel from Cleveland to reach my son in Dar Es Salaam! I will have peace and relief when the mailings reach you and Hilda.

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR SON!

Your devoted and caring Mum

Apr 19 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


Am so glad to read your Email. I really feel Marvellous to read your Emails.
This is the happiness Moment in my life. I feel blessed & Relaxed.

That is why when My father of Malawi asked Me about 'Which thing do I think God Blessed me? Then I said that 'It is to be taken Care by the Most Safest Hands of My Mum of U.S.A.(NICOLE) Then he agreed & said that I was right.

Yes for sure indeed, I know that it will be a good news to you to hear that the package of books Came & we got it.
But am so sosrry Mum, just because I didn't talk to Hilda since on Friday & She didn't come at the College today.
But I promise to give you the full information tomorrow when I will ask her.

But please don't worry Mum, because no mattter how far it will be, but I will finally get it in the name of GOD.

Wao!! it is nice & Great to hear about our Team of CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. I hope & Confident that we will reach the into finals. Now Douglas is happy & Joyfull after a Magnificent Win of Cleveland Cavaliers during the Weekend.
Am also supporting Cleveland Cavaliers. But I don't like LE'BRON JAMES as DOUGLAS does. I like COBE BRYANT of LOSS ANGELS LAKERS. Do you know him? Does Douglas Know him? What about My Dad & Christopher? Which Teams do they Support?

Yes, am still Dreaming nice Dreams on the Brand new Matress. The matress has Brought a Very Positive Impact to my Sleep. I hope it will be much more better when I will get the Best ROOM on 15 May next Month.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Apr 18 2010 from Cleveland

Habari gani, my dear Bashir? I'm very happy that you got your money safely and easily as usual! Karibu sana, my dear Son!

And asante sana for your kind words about my caring spirit. I am very thankful and glad that we found each other, by the hand of God, and became united as family, as Mum and Son! You make an interesting point when you say, "It is not simple for most people to Show Careness to a Person when he/she is far away." I think you are right about that! In America, there is a saying, "Out of sight, out of mind." It means that if you can't see the person, you forget about the person. But I love you with a Mother's heart and look at your photos each day and it seems as if we are very close together! And I am thankful for email and computers to help us stay in touch each day.

Suche good news that MANCHESTER UNITED beat MANCHESTER CITY by 1-0, and in such thrilling fashion in the final 30 seconds of the game! Wooo-hoooo! I believe we will overcome Chelsea and win the Title!

Yes, the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS lost last Week against the MAGIC, but it was okay, because now we are in the "playoffs" anyway. Do you know "playoffs"? It is the championship season, starting with the playoffs and then leading to the semifinals and finals after a few weeks. Yesterday we won our first playoff game against the Bulls by many points, about 20 points, so for sure the CAVALIERS gave DOUGLAS Something to Smile about!

Now I am hoping for great news of hearing that the books I sent have reached Hilda safely at last! Then I will pray for good news that Hilda has also received the souvenirs from Florida for the two of you!

Also in May, when I send you the money for your new and better room, I will also send Hilda the second payment for your first year of college! I will send her the third payment in September.

Meanwhile I continue my training for the 10k race on May 16. Today I ran for one hour, then did four 100-meter sprints to finish. Your Mum is tough and strong!

Dear Son, do you continue to have "sweet dreams" while sleeping on your new mattress? I pray that you do.

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR SON, BASHIR/ENTERTAINER!

Your devoted and loving Mum

Apr 18 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


First of all, I would like to tell you that I already got the Money at Western Union yesterday. It was very easy & Safe as usuall. Thank you so much Mum for your Kindness & Mercifulness.

Do you know Mum one thing which I much Recommend you? It is your Caring Spirit to Me even though you are far awy from me. It is not simple for most people to Show Careness to a Person when he/she is far away. A lot of people show their careness only when a person is near & Behind them. But they forget him/her when he/she far away.

Then I always ask myself that 'If you are treating me well while am Far from you, What about if I were near you?

You are so special Mum, nobody has got such kind of Caring Spirit like yours.
You would have forgotten me just soon after you left 'PALM BEACH HOTEL' if you were someone who does not have a Caring Spirit. Our meeting in Dar-es-salaam would be just a History without any Hopes, Can you imagine!!

There was a MANCHESTER DERBY yesterday. MANCHESTER UNITED beat MANCHESTER CITY by 1-0.

The game was so tough & Unpredictable. We scored in the dying Minutes when only 30 Seconds remained for a Referee to blow a final Whistle. What a Clinical Finish by Paul Scholes!!!. We scored & the game ended on the spot.

Lucky enough is that CHELSEA who were leading with 4 Points, they lost Yesterday. Now it means that they leading with only a Single/1 Point. Our hopes of a Tittle Race are still alive & Healthy.

But CLEVELAND CAVALIERS lost last Week against the MAGIC if am not mistake, because I watched them on TV's highlighs. What about this weekend? Did they give DOUGHLAS Something to Smile about?

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM,
AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Apr 15 2010 from Cleveland

Dear Son, first I want to say CONGRATULATIONS on your Tremendous and Marvelous Presentation today! Your Mum and Dad are So Very Proud of your brilliance, dedicated and hard work, and your courage!

Next I want to say, at noon or 1 pm today (7 or 8 pm in Dar Es Salaam), I will get your $150 monthly money and will take it to Western Union to send you. After that, I will send you the email with all the information!

For now, I must go to work. I will be back later with Western Union information for you!

MAY GOD BLESS MY BRILLIANT AND BRAVE SON!

Hello, my dear son Bashir!

Here is the Western Union information for you to pick up the money! Please let me know when you have the money safely.

I sent 150 U.S. Dollars, which is about 200,000 shillings. It's for your monthly money!

MAY GOD BLESS MY SON!

Your Proud and Devoted Mum

Apr 15 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!

Am proud to tell you that I had a Tremendous Presentation Yesterday.

I was the first to go in front to Present my Group before other Group's Presenters.

It was very good & I was Confident. The whole class Crapped hands for Me. I was Praised & Applaused by the whole Class including the Lecturer. Now I have become the first Choice to lead my group in different Occasions.

Then I really need to thank you & My Dad Mr.Jimmy for the Prayers. God really answered & Accepted your Prayers.
But it was not simple either, because it's really difficult to talk at the Public. All the People's Eyes were looking at Me.

But I like it so much because I want to become in use of it. And am ready to Present again next time if God wishes.

Today it's on 15 April. Then am expecting to hear about the Monthly Money.

I always feel happy to receive your Monthly help of Money. That money really helps me for the day to day life.
My life would become difficult without it. Because am only going to school & I don't work. Am only depending on the Money you send Me.

Let me now Send an Email to Mr.Jimmy.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Apr 14 2010 from Cleveland

Dear Son, ever since I received your email and shared it with Mr. Jimmy, we have been praying for you to have peace of mind and confidence in your great abilities, and for you to be blessed in every way, and that you will give a marvelous presentation! I am excited to hear all about it! I have faith that you will report it was a great presentation.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU, MY DEAR SON!

Your devoted and proud Mum

Apr 13 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum


I would like to let you know that tomorrow I will make a 'PRESENTATION' in my Class at Learnit College.

Infact, we were Grouped into 6 Groups for discussion. Each group was given a Topic to discuss & one of them should go in front of the Class to Present. Then am the one who was Chosen to Represent My Group. Some of My friends refused to represent because they said they are Shy & it's difficult to stand in front of the People & Talk.

Then when they chose me, I didn't hasitate & I warmly welcomed the Decision. Because I want to learn how to present a public speech. I want to gain Confidence of speaking at the Public. Of course it is not simple, but I will try to make it good.
I want to be a Good Public Speaker like the U.S president 'BARRACK OBAMA'. The Topic is Called 'DECISION MAKING PROCESS.' So please, I need your Prayers inorder to Present a Nice Presentation. Tell My Father Mr.Jimmy about it.

Yes Mum, there is no any Problem if you send the Money of the new room On 15 May. That is not too far to wait.

I will still be in the Same Room as of now. But am so happy to hear about the new Room's Money & I feel like I have already got it. It is very good decision because My living Standard will Completely Change. I will make sure that I choose a Perfect Room.

May God Bless You Mum!

Am Your Son,
BASHIR!

April 13 2010 from Cleveland

Dear Bashir, I hope my fine Son is doing well today! I'm sorry you suffered from terrible nightmares in Malawi. The nightmare you described sounded awful and frightening. For sure, some of your nightmares came because of the poor living conditions you survived. Your Mum is so grateful that I can help give you Peace of Mind and better living conditions, thanks to God.

I too have had nightmares in which I was being chased by evil people and my feet would not move fast enough so I could not escape them, and like you I woke up. The reason for me was worries and fears, not poor living conditions, and it's interesting that the theme of our dreams was similar. I have read books about psychology, the human mind, and dreams, and learned that there are some dreams that are universal among all people. One of those dreams is the one of being chased by someone who intends to harm us.

I wish my dear son "sweet dreams" each night!

What if I send you the money to rent your new room on 15 May (about one month from now)? Can you stay in your current room till then? You may remember, you may get a room for 40,000 shillings per month, and Mr. Jimmy and I can pay for the year in advance, as is required. Let me know your comments.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU, MY DEAR SON!

Your loving and devoted Mum

April 12 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


I used to have nightmares especially when I was in Malawi.

I remember that one day I dremt about being Chased by Gangs/Thugs in the Bush.

They were Chasing Me in order to Catch & Kill Me. Then I ran but I couldn't go far. I used to fall down Whenever I tried to run. Then I cried & Screemed for help. But nobody Could hear Me because it was too far from Home.

Then when I finally fell down, they Came & Caught Me. But I woke up when one of them was about to hit Me with Metal.

But I was quiete Frightened & I could't Sleep again Untill Morning. It was in 2005.

Even here in Dar-es-Salaam I used to be in Nightmares, Especially before I met & Knew you.
That's why I now realised that some of the Nightmares Come because of the Poor living Condition.

Because I always used to think about My Problems that I had. Then I was more likely to get Nightmares.

But now am Nightmares Free, Just because am now Positive Minded.

Yes! there is a Clinic near at Home in Malawi.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

April 11 2010 from Cleveland

Dear Son, thank you so much for writing me, even though the Internet was so slow and you didn't have much time! It was great to hear from you and know that all is well. I remember during my time in Dar Es Salaam, the Internet was often very slow, and sometimes so slow that I couldn't even get on it at all.

I have been training for the 10K race, and this afternoon I ran for 45 minutes, then did 4 100-meter "sprints." Now your Mum is tired! I'm going to be and will write you more tomorrow. Usiku mwema!

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR SON!

Your loving and faithful Mum

April 11 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


Am so happy too to hear that you were happy when you heared that all is well on my side.

But I want to apologise again that this Email will be too Short because Internet is too slow. Then am running out of time.

I will answer all your questions tomorrow at the Break time at College.

Yes, Manchester United had a Game today against Black Burn Rovers, But Unfortunately it ended a Goal less Draw.

We lost Poits again today. Am very worried with Manchester's recent form.

Tomorrow I will tell you about Nightmares that I once had in Malawi.

Let me ask again Hilda tomorrow about the Package if it Came at the Post Office.

It's good to hear about the Monthly Money on 15 April.

GOD BLESS YOU,
IT'S BASHIR!

April 10 2010 from Cleveland

My Dear Son, I was smiling and laughing with joy when I received your email!! There is no need for forgiveness but thank you for your concern that your Mum was worried! I know that electricity and the Internet Cafe can be problems sometimes in Dar Es Salaam, just as I sometimes have problems with being too busy and getting too sleepy. But I love and care for you, my fine Son, so naturally I worry when I don't hear from you, even though I always pray all is well for you.

We have a saying in America, "All's well that ends well." I think the saying is from a Shakespeare play. It means, since everything turned out fine, let's forget there were any problems! All's well that ends well!

Son, tell me about your nightmares, whether you had them in Malawi, or if they started in Dar Es Salaam, and what happens in them. I pray that you continue to sleep well with your new mattress.

I now pray a special prayer for your precious Grand Mum that God will heal her awful ear pain. Is there a medical clinic near her village?

15 April is coming up. That means I will send your monthly money for meat, Internet Cafe, and transportation!

Mr. Jimmy and I can send you the money for your new Room With Electricity on 15 May. Can you stay in your current room until then?

Has Hilda received the books?

Is there a Manchester United game today?

Now Mr. Jimmy and I must get ready to drive to my class at the University of Akron!

MAY GOD BLESS MY PRECIOUS SON!

Your loving and devoted Mum

April 9 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


Am proud to inform you that am very fine & Nothing terribe Occured to me. I thank you so much for being Concerned of your son Bashir. As I always say that you are a very Kind & Caring Mum.

There was a problem of Electricity. But also because the nearby home Internet Cafe which I usually use was Closed due to the long Holiday of Easter. The owner of that Inernet Cafe left for their home Village.

But now all is well & Settled. We will be doing as we always do.

But I would like to ask you for forgiveness for making you worried.

Am happy to hear that you are so interested with the way My Father of Malawi Recommends you.
But I forgot to tell you that My Grandmother is Sick. She has a problem of EAR. I was told that she has been suffering from EAR Paining. She is my Father's Biological Mother. She likes me so much & am her favourite.

But My Grandfather died when I was too young & I don't know him. Because he died in 1989.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Thursday, April 8, 2010

Apr 7 2010 from Cleveland

Dear Son, I'm really happy and relieved to know you are enjoying such nice sleep on your new mattress! I pray that the blessing of good sleep is yours every night.

Son, did you have nightmares in Malawi, too? Or did you start having nightmares only in Dar Es Salaam? What happened in the nightmares? I pray you will have only sweet dreams from now on!

Here in America, it's common to say at bedtime, "Good night and sweet dreams!" I know "usiku mwema" for good night, and "na" for and. How do you say "sweet dreams" in Kiswahili?

I remember the last package I sent you to the P.B. Hotel address -- it took extra long to reach the post office in Dar Es Salaam. Your confidence in the package's safe arrival gives me strength. I pray that both packages I have sent to Hilda reach you safely and soon: first the books, and second the souvenirs and pictures from Florida!

And I am especially happy to hear about your precious Father! His good words and prayers for us make my heart smile. I like to close my eyes and envision your father and family, and you, and Mr. Jimmy and me all connected by our prayers around the world. It's amazing and beautiful to think of your dear father and family praying for me and my family! Again it is the loving hand of Almighty God at work. Your dear father will be in My Heart until the day I die, because he is a wonderful man who has raised our wonderful son Bashir! Bashir/Entertainer who brings us all great joy!

It's very exciting to hear how your studies are progressing at College. I hope you will like the new subject, 'PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT'.

I thank God for the blessing of being Your Mum. Also I want to say that You are My Happiness Provider, too, because you bring such joy, pride, entertainment, adventure, hope, and inspiration into my life!

MAY GOD BLESS MY SON!

Your caring and devoted Mum


Apr 8 2010 from Cleveland

Habari gani, Bashir? I pray and hope all is well with my dear Son. I did not get email from you on Wednesday or Thursday so of course, your Mum is a little worried about her dear Bashir. However, I'm thinking maybe there is no electricity in Dar Es Salaam, or there was a problem with the Internet Cafe.

Meanwhile, I keep you in my prayers and my heart constantly. I will rejoice when receiving my next email from you!

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR SON BASHIR!

Your devoted and loving Mum

Apr 6 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


Yes! I really had a nice sleep Previous day & Yesterday. It's a beginning of a new life. All my dreams have become good & Nice. No nightmares!!

I have asked Hilda today about the package & she said that she didn't find anything at the Post office.

But don't worry Mum, I hope it's on it's way. May be it has delayed because of the long holiday of Easter.

But am confident that we are going to receive it any time from now.

I already sent the Money to my Father of Malawi. He was very happy more than even you think.

As usuall, he praised & appreciated for a wonderful & Recommendable job you are doing to him & his family.
But above all, He recommends you for the Overwhelming & Prestigious Support you providing to his Son Bashir.

He said that I should tell you that 'You will be in his Heart untill the day he will die'.

Himself & His family Pray good & a Better life for you & Your family.

My studies are going on well at College. Today we have started athird Subject Called 'PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT'.

We have already Completed 2 Subjects & We are remaining with 5 Subjects to start & finish.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!!

PLEASE GET KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY MUM I RELY ON & I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF YOU FOR THAT!!!

I DESCRIBE YOU AS MY HAPPINESS PROVIDER!!!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR/ENTERTAINER!!

Apr 5 2010 from Cleveland

Dear Son, I'm very happy to read about your successful purchase and transportation of your new mattress!

But I'm very sad to read that we lost our huge game against Chelsea due to unfairness of the referees!

It is an extreme contrast of happy and sad.

Yes, Manchester United will stay strong and focus on winning our next game!

I am hoping that you enjoyed a great night's sleep on your new mattress, and that you feel refreshed today. Perhaps Hilda will have received the books!

MAY GOD BLESS MY FINE SON!

Your faithful and caring Mum

Apr 4 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


It's great that I managed to buy the Matress & Carry it at Home by Myself. I caught a Daladala Bus together with it.
Do you still remember what Daladala is? But it was simple & Easy. Because Mr.Iddi was too Busy with his Duties.
Now it will be a nice sleep that I never had before.

Yes, It was at my College friend's house & he is one the friends who came at my Birthday.

It's quiete stressful that Manchester United went down to Chelsea by 2-1.
It was a Huge & too had to predict game. But to be realistic, the referee was not Free & Fair. Because we got 2 Clear Penalties to play but he favoured them. Even their second goal was totally offside. They have favourably won it.
I always accept when we lose fairly, but I always Ignore & Criticise when we lose just because of Referee's Favouratism.

Now we have gone on Second Position with 2 Points against Chelsea's First Position.

But the battle is not yet Over, we will fight untill it ends. We will always fight for supremacy. No Retreat!! No Surrender!!!
Nobody can stop us to be the Champions again, because we are Unstoppables!!!!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Saturday, April 3, 2010

April 3 2010 from Cleveland

Habari, Son? How is my dear Bashir today? Happy Easter!

I will be excited to hear about your mattress. Will Mr. Iddi drive you to Kariakoo and then back to your room with your new mattress?

In the meantime, I will be cheering for Manchester United to beat their rival Chelsea so we may remain in first place!

Was it your friend from College, at whose house you watched TV and saw the Jesus Christ movie? Was it also one of the same friends who came to your birthday party?

Regarding Easter, Mr. Jimmy and I used to attend many church services, but now, not so much. Therefore, for Easter, we will have our daily prayers at home as usual, then visit some friends who invited us to Easter dinner.

In a few minutes, Mr. Jimmy and I will be leaving to drive to my class at the University of Akron.

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR SON!

Your faithful and caring Mum

April 2 2010 from Dar Es Salaam

Hi Mum!


I got tested to HIV/AIDS for 3 times. 2008, 2009 & 2010. Am so happy to hear that you are so happy to know that your son Bashir is in Good healthy.

By the way, How is Easter? Today we had a holiday & we didn't go to the College. People were at home & in the Churches.
I went to my friend's House where I was watching JESUS CHRIST'S MOVIE on TV. It was very interesting to watch.

I asked Hilda Yesterday to go & check at the post Office if the Package came, She told me that she will go to check & she will let me know on Tuesday if it arrived to Dar-es-Salaam.

Yes!! Tomorrow I will go to Kariakoo to buy the Matress & I will let you know everything. But am so happy that I will soon be sleeping on Matress.

I wish you a lovely Easter!! Do you take part in Cerebrating Easter?

Tomorrow it's MANCHESTER UNITED .vs. CHELSEA.

It will be a massive game because it's a Battle of Number 1 & Number 2. We are on Top with only 1 Point different.

If we lose, Our hopes of a Tittle Race will be at Riscky. We must win it!!!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!!

IT'S YOUR SON,
BASHIR!!!

My dear Bashir, I am very happy and relieved to read this good news of your health, that you are HIV/AIDS NEGATIVE! I'm also very proud to know this nurse described you as wise and intelligent with Vision, and indeed she described you very accurately. You are extremely wise and smart to take such good care of your health and behavior, especially how you are careful and get tested on a regular basis. Your Mum is very proud and relieved. May God continue to bless you with this excellent health and wisdom each day of your life.

Here in the U.S., HIV/AIDS is a terrible epidemic, but now there are medicines available which stop some of the painful agony as infected people die. But those drugs are not available to Africans, where the HIV/AIDS problem is just as bad or perhaps even worse, so the suffering in Africa sounds horrific.

My dear Son, continue to take this wise and fine care of your health! God has plans for your life and He wants you to stay healthy!

Has the package of books arrived to Hilda's post office box yet?

Also, will you get your new mattress at Kariakoo this weekend?

MAY GOD BLESS MY WONDERFUL SON!

Your loving and devoted Mum

Hi Mum!


As I am talking, the Money you have just sent is already in My Pocket. The picking was very simple & easy as usual.

Now I would like to tell you about a Good News of My Health.

I went to the HIV/AIDS Clinic on Thursday last week to get tested of HIV for the Third time in my Life.
I was asked why I like to be tested, then I said I just want to know my status if am HIV Positive or Negative.

Then she asked me again what Shall I do if I will be Positive. Then I said that I will be shocked but I will finally follow the Instructions of the Doctors. Then she asked me again what about if I will be found Negative, Then I said that I will be very happy & Continue to be more Carefull to be involved in anything that Might Push me into the agony of HIV/AIDS.

She asked me again that 'Why Poeple afraid to get tested to HIV/AIDS? Then I said that it's because they are not Faithfull & they afraid to be stressed & Hastled after being found Positive HIV/AIDS. But I myself am confident just because I try to distance myself for Commiting FONICATION & Any other Irresponsible Groups.

Then I finally got tested & I was found NEGATIVE.

The Nurse who tested Me was very interested with me & Described me As wise & Intelligent with Vision.

AM BASHIR!

BYE!!

Habari, Bashir? I pray my dear Son is doing well! Right now it is Tuesday night in Cleveland. Tomorrow evening, Wed 31 March, I will go to Western Union to send you $100 USD, then I will come home and send you an email with the information so you can get your money, and your mattress, and send a gift to your dear father!

Tonight I have prepared your package for shipping to Hilda's post office box. Tomorrow Mr. Jimmy will take it to the post office, so Hilda should receive it by Wed 14 April. I'm hoping the books have reached her post office box!

Now your Mum is training to run a 10K race! 10 kilometers equals about 6.25 miles. The race is here in Cleveland on Sunday 16 May, so I have 7 weeks for training. My goal is not to win the race but to finish the race in 1 hour or less. I just want to see if I can do it! Today was my first training day and it was easy -- just running 20 minutes at an easy pace. Tomorrow after Western Union, I will run 30 minutes on small hills.

Usiku mwemu!

MAY GOD BLESS MY DEAR SON!

Your caring and faithful Mum

Hello, My Dear Son! The new package for you and Hilda is ready, if Hilda has given permission for me to send it to her post office box! You can tell me her reply.

Also, I will be excited to hear when you and Hilda receive your books written by one of the Lost Boys of the Sudan in Cleveland. As soon as I got those books, I hurried to ship them to you, so I didn't read it or even enclose a personal note. But the new package will have a personal note for you and one for Hilda.

I will go to Western Union on Wed 31 March in the evening, so it will be Thurs 1 April when you receive the information from me. I will be especially excited to hear that you have purchased your mattress for an excellent and restful sleep.

In America, the tradition says that 1 April is "April Fools Day." People like to play pranks on each other on April Fools Day. Do you know "pranks"? They are like jokes or schemes to trick another person. When I was very very young, about 3 or 4 years old, on April Fools Day my mother said to me, "Your face is green!" I was scared and upset, and ran to look in the mirror. Of course my face was not green. Instead, my mother was playing a prank on me. I didn't think it was funny!!

How is the weather in Dar Es Salaam? Is it very rainy? How is your health? Are you eating your daily meat? I PRAY my son Bashir is especially blessed in every way by Almighty God.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

Your caring and devoted Mum
