FathersLikeThat: Boniface Ndiogu
Boniface has his quiver full of them. You can imagine what home is like with this bunch. Fun is the most appropriate word. With four comes different shades of excitement and creativity. These two you will find abundant in the Ndiogus home.
My friend Boniface is an impeccable description of the word gentle and cool, very unassuming and easy going. And that’s the way he talks and communicates too. But that personae transforms with the speed of light if anything dares to touch any of his children in the wrong way. His protection and defence instinct flares up like mother hen as he shields them from harm. That is common with great fathers, and Boniface is a FatherLikeThat
From Somto who draws to AK the repairer of damaged things to Kamsi the ballerina and singer to Kosi the swimmer, Boni’s home buzzes all round the clock. And amidst the buzz is the camaraderie of family love and stability of affection that is championed by a responsible father.
When your children are able to rest in your love and trust that Daddy has their backs 24/7, your job as a father is almost complete. I dare say, these four exude that confidence and assurance.
We don’t say it often. We sometimes take it for granted too. But, this day we thank you for all that you do, for all that you are and for just being there through thick and thin. For school fees that comes in promptly and for the storehouse that has never for once lacked provision, thank you. We thank you for playing your role in ensuring the next generation is safe and sane. Thank you for being a #FatherLikeThat.
Thank you, Boniface.
