This morning my baby Amari and I said goodbye to daddy NHD. We saw him off to the airport with heavy hearts, and sad faces. Even though he will only be away for 6 weeks, it feels like an eternity.
One of the dilemmas of being a recording artist in Canada, is that there isn't enough happening here, so we artists have to venture out to other countries. NHD has gone back to London to work. He is a British boy, born in Namibia, but grew up in London, which is a mecca for anything in the entertainment world. We will be joining him in England in a couple months, but for now he is there, hard at work, and we are here, in the "getting colder" Canada. Such is life!
To be honest, it feels a little overwhelming to be without him and have our 5 week old baby to look after. I am blessed not to be a single mother, however I now can relate to all the single mothers out there. We are strong, fearless women, and I have even more respect for our sometimes under appreciated jobs as mothers. My mom was a single mother for a long time, with 3 kids, and she conquered it.
At the end of the day, though it may be daunting to have to look after a small baby on your own, daddy is out there providing for his family. I am also working, doing my best to juggle both my business, HunnyB Entertainment, and my new life as a mother. Today was the first day without NHD, and so far so good. I will get back to you after the 6 weeks are up and update you on the reality of how difficult juggling work and family life will inevitably be.
I am ready though, so let's go! I have already mastered breastfeeding and recording simultaneously so bring on whatever other challenges may come with the territory. Though now I am thinking to be careful for what I ask for lol; I could be over my head.
In the meantime, we will take it one step at a time. We will pray that daddy gets all his business taken care of successfully, and that he gets back to Canada safe and sound.
We love you daddy!
