Raising Lola all alone has been the most difficult part of my life.Am a forty years old man with a teenage daughter and damn it hasn't been easy.

   Lola's mother died immediately after child birth and even though I tried countless times to get married again, I just couldn't find love again.

  My mom always said that getting married again would be great for me and my daughter but all the ladies I met just didn't meet my standard maybe it's because am still in love with my late wife.

  “You won't be able to take care of this girl when she gets older and starts having needs”Mom would always say 

   Few years down the line and have realized that I do need an older woman to look after Lola . She is now fourteen years old and I barely recognize my daughter.We are always quarreling, I used to be her best friend but she now keeps things from me .

   Sounds of cry and pain woke me up.it was Lola's voice and the cries were from her room.I quickly rushed to her room and found my baby girl in pains crying and rolling all over the ground.

   I picked Lola up, took her to the car and drove off to the hospital where she got treatment.

   After the whole ordeal,a nurse came to me and said my daughter had experienced menstrual cramps.I had forgotten that girls usually had those.

   When Lola woke up,I went close to her and said “you would be staying with grandma from now”

  This was the most difficult decision I had made but that's what best for my daughter.

  I love my daughter so much and would miss her.

  Bye Lola . ..
