Afritunes Week 64 || Kuchi Kuchi - J'odie (cover) by @jessicaossom

Hello Afritunes community, this week I'll be singing Kuchi Kucki by J'odie. She is an African soul singer who was made famous by the song Kuchi Kuch. The song was released in 2010 according to my research.

So, guys, I am not here to talk about J'odie but I must give her credit for that beautiful song she released. Honestly, it has been a long time since I watched the music video. However, one thing I remember clearly is that a lady and her baby were in the video. The song is more like a mother expressing her unconditional love for her child.

My entry was intentionally delayed until this day, Thursday, June 1, 2023. It's Nathaniel's birthday today, and I just wanted to sing this song to celebrate his birthday, so this entry is dedicated to him. I chose to submit this entry on this day in particular because I wanted to commemorate the special day in some way. I also thought this would be a meaningful way to show Nathaniel how much I care about him, and that I'm always thinking of him.

I remember the day I gave birth to him. It wasn't easy. If you are a parent reading this, you may understand. I am also grateful to God for keeping me alive so I can take care of my son and celebrate his birthday.

Due to the intense pain I was feeling in labour, I said a lot of horrible things, but when he was delivered, the pain vanished and I felt very happy. It was a mix of emotions that I had never felt before. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of it all and when I held my baby for the first time, I felt a deep love for him, even though I had only just met him. It was truly magical.

When his dad came in, he was so happy, and everyone said he looked like Michael Jackson because of his body structure at birth and his light-skinned and hairy appearance. Earlier, I mentioned that I am grateful to God for not leaving my son motherless. How will it be? I don't even want to think about it.

There were complications shortly after I gave birth to him. It was something no one had seen before, but I am grateful I survived and had a speedy recovery.

My son turns five today and I am grateful to God for keeping and preserving his life. Even when he falls ill, he has never been admitted to the hospital. I pray that grace will suffice for him all his life.

He will continue to grow and increase in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man, just as Jesus grew.

It is my prayer for him on this day that his purpose on earth is fulfilled. God's plan for his life shall not be thwarted and all the days of his life, I shall have peace and joy concerning him. He shall live a life of joy and purpose, knowing God's plan for him will never be thwarted.

I wish you a very happy birthday, Nathaniel. I hope you see this someday in the future and smile. Always remember that Mommy loves you and wants the best for you. I will not mourn over you, your days on earth shall be long and fulfilling, you will always be a blessing to your family and everyone you come in contact with. Amen. Happy Birthday Son.

This song I am presenting today on Afritunes is dedicated to you to celebrate your birthday. This shall not be the last birthday you celebrate. Amen
