EPILOGUE

I hurriedly got dressed, wearing a blue pant suit, I dressed my first son in the same pant suit, even if his father grumbled about wearing a suit, he hated wearing suits, but this was a formal occasion, and he was going to wear a suit.

My husband drove us to the hall, he parked, and we walked into the hall. Excitement bubbled up from my core. I sighted my parents sitting at the front, wearing matching proud smiles, similar to the one they wore on my graduation, my new family went to greet them, they welcomed us and carried their grand children on their laps. My husband and I sat directly behind them, waiting for the ceremony to officially begin.

"It has not even started and you made me wear this and drive very fast." My husband murmured. I chuckled.

"I am just so excited, aren't you excited?" I asked smiling.

He smiled too,

"I am the most excited."

I doubted that, but I didn't tell him that, I really was not ready to give him my life history.

The ceremony began, and I was so excited my legs were bouncing up and down.

And they called her name, Terra Oraye Ibisiki. She had won awards for the best graduating student of the year, the most promising prospective doctor, the best student in most of her courses. Needless to say, I was very proud. We all stood to clap.

"Mommy! That is aunt Terra!" My third child said. I smiled a watery smile at her, and nodded.

My beautiful, talented, intelligent younger sister, she made it. I clapped, and clapped. She was smiling so wide I thought her face was going to break or something. She collected all the awards. And sat back down on the high table they set for her.

I had a brief flash back, of everything, all the dreams I had of her, all the times I prayed, then I was scared, but now.. I was happy, I was extremely glad I was the one who dreamt, then my mom laughed and teased me, calling me

"Joseph the dreamer." Then it was kind of annoying, but now.. now I was grateful I was the dreamer. It helped me grow, it shapened me to the woman I was today.

Before the dreams, I never prayed.. only prayed a one sentence prayer whenever I wanted to eat, just to pacify my father who taught us to pray before eating. After the dreams started, I started my prayer life, and it has saved me countless times, it made me stronger, physically and spiritually, if anything happened, i would just go to my heavenly father in prayers. It made me better than my peers, faster, smarter, brighter... I grew. From the little girl who relied on her father's prayers, to a strong independent woman that I was today.

Many things shook me, many things wanted to stop me, many times I wanted to quit, many times I was tired. But I held on, because after all, I was Terra's Merlin, my own magic being God, my spells being prayers, and my dragon was my bible.

Soon, the ceremony ended, and I went to my sister. I looked at her with tears in my eyes, she had grown, from the tiny little scared girl, to an award winning student doctor, she was bigger now, taller, stronger than all the times she nearly fell along the way.

Terra hugged me so tight, I was scared she had cut off my air flow.

"Thank you so much for everything." She whispered in my ear.

"I could not have done it without you."

I hugged her tightly too.

"I prepared a feast for you." I tell her.

She smiled at me.

We drove home, I told our driver to drive our parents behind us. We chattered as we drove, each of my sisters holding each of my triplet. I offered a quiet word of thanks to God, for He made everything possible, we could not have made it without Him.

My husband parked the car, and the second car rolled in, they parked side by side, as we stepped in. My husband and I had a very huge house, and was paid for with both our pay checks, I secured a high paying Job after I asked the Holy Spirit for directions. I was never alone, the Holy Spirit was with me.

"Wow, this is really nice." Tami commented on my cooking. I smiled.

"Thank you, now eat up, don't forget your table manners." I tell them. And they laughed but obliged.

My parents sat at the table, looking at all of us, with pride in their eyes, I knew what they meant. It was not hard to not know, after all I was a parent now myself.

"Hey Mom, dad, I have a surprise for you!" My husband tells them.

All our heads whipped to his direction, I didn't know he had any surprise for any one.

"I got you two, tickets to Dubai, just the two of you.. I arranged a house, you have your helps and everything. The house is stocked with everything you guys will need, for two weeks."

Mom and dad smiled thankfully at him.

"Oh come on, they need a break too." He told me when he caught me looking at him. I laughed.

"I know, I was just wondering when you had time for all those arrangements."

"Secret." He says and we all laugh.

"You guys are going tomorrow by the way." He tells them.

"Thank you so much." Dad says.

"It's nothing."

This is what my family looks like with Jesus in it, like a song my children loved so much.

"With Jesus in the family, happy happy home! With Jesus in the family happy, happppyy home!"

Terra caught my eye from across the table, and she cleared her throat.

"I uhm, I decided where I want to do my masters."

"Okay that is great, where?"

"The United States of America." She says.

My husband and I shared a look, I trusted her decisions, or trusted the Holy Spirit to guide her in decision making.

"Okay sure." My husband tells her.

He took it upon himself to sponsor all three of my mom's daughters.

Terra jumped up and down happily.

Few hours later, they all return to their homes, and I went to bed.

I woke up after a while, I looked at my sleeping husband beside me, I smiled at the framed copies of all my sister's, husband and i's achievement hung on the wall.

This time I wasn't dreaming.
