A PLACE TO CALL HOME- PART 2

We weren't always rich, I still recall the days when daddy was doing his M.sc, just a laboratory analyst with a private laboratory back then.
Mummy on her on part was a stay at home mum (full time).
I remember coming back from school with friends, walking all the way from the school to the house which was about 20minutes away while we joked around and bought ice cream with the 50naira given to us as transportation; oh those where the good days!!
I remember getting home and finding the house saturated with the delicious smell of mummy's cooking and how we gathered round our little t.v. in the evening to eat and share stories before heading to bed.
Back then ours was a small home, just two rooms; one was our parlour while the other was our parent's room. I and my brothers slept in the parlour after moving our cushions and fitting in beds.
I remember how daddy loved mummy and how this love spread throughout the home. How we all went to Sunday school together as early as

7.ooam. we didn't have much but we had happiness; in retrospect I think it should have been enough.

How did it all go wrong?

A PLACE TO CALL HOME-part1

I have a home or so people think; it is a big 2-storey building with about 10rooms,11 toilets and bathrooms, a kitchen and a balcony . There's a dog house where my Rottweiler(Randy)resides. It's gates are a majestic black with flowery patterns made of Gold; yes i had a house, it was truely fitting of my daddy's position as DG of NAFDAC and mother's position as principal of a well known british secondary school, the kind of school reserved for the elite of them all.
We are four children in number; a girl(me) and three boys. I

happen to be the last of the spawn.
The truth is that ours was a silver-spooned house. Yes! It was a house, no more no less. It was home to no one; nothing grew here except it was negative.
Nobody here was happy
Love avoided this place and sorrow was all we knew.
What caused it all?
Where did we go wrong?
