Musician Bahati has penned a lovely, heartwarming, and reassuring message to his adopted son, Morgan Bahati.
The singer wrote a long post on his Instagram page where he spoke about the journey from the first day he took him home from home to now.
“I have Looked at this picture and Just realised you’re becoming a Man. This is 10 years ago the first Day I met you. That Day when I invited ABC Children’s Home (Where I grew up at) to Come and Perform at my Album Launch in 2013 at NPC Valley Road. Son I remember that day like it was Yesterday; the way you Cried and Called me Daddy. It was so difficult for me seeing the 2 year’s old you forced to enter the bus heading back to the orphanage; I saw your pain and I saw myself through you,” he started.
He added that he was proud for Morgan to call him father as he himself hadn’t had that privilege when he was growing up.
“Having have grown in a Children’s Home at times Lonely without no one to Call Mum or Dad!My Son from that Day ; though I was not ready I decided to be a Father and I took you in as my son… Son Listen to me! I am your Father and You’re my Son! God Planned it Nothing can Change that! As You grow you will see alot of Nonsense and inhuman stuff said on this Ruthless World but always Remember above all… I’M YOUR FATHER AND YOU ARE MY SON. PERIOD!”
Bahati’s third act explained the challenges he had had raising the boy including women leaving him as they didn’t want to raise a kid that wasn’t theirs.
“Only God Knows exactly what we have Been through… People will never know that I took you in even before I established myself. Do you remember when I could not afford to pay a House help and I could cook for you, clean your clothes and even change your beddings juu ume susu kwa Bed???
I’ve never shared with anyone is that even Some Women left me because they were not ready to raise a Child that’s not theirs! Yes it was that bad but look at you now you have the most caring mother on Earth!”
He finished by apologising to his son for introducing him to the public which has occasioned maliciuous claims that he’s the son of a famous footballer.
“I don’t want to say Much but I wanna take this opportunity to Say I’m Sorry for the online trolls it’s all my fault. Forgive me for introducing you to the public this young 🙏 But above all I want you to Know that You’re the Best Gift I ever gotten – You’re my First Born and Without you Our Family is incomplete!”
Fathers, this is how you reaffirm your child. Take notes. BY MPASHO NEWS
