Uzodinma Iweala, former Nigerian Minister of Finance
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Dr. Ikemba Iweala‘s son shared this cute photo of his
parents with an endearing caption
“My
mother sent this to me and my siblings the other day in an email with the title
“grey love.” She and my father took a selfie on the deck at the house we grew
up in, a house that saw four kids thunder across its floors and up and down its
steps, and countless Christmases, and so many celebrations. There were also
tragedies and tears. Once a dog lived in this house and they loved him a lot
too.
My
parents sacrificed so much for us to have the opportunity that we enjoy. Many
people with kids devote so much of their energy to the children and to working
to support those children, often putting their own relationship second. These
children bring them joy and also trouble. We reward them with our successes and
keep them ever preoccupied with our safety and wellbeing long after we have
left the havens they have built or tried to build for us. My parents are no
different.
But
it is also amazing to see how when the house has gone quiet and the noise has
subsided, they can turn to each other after 37 years of marriage and amuse
themselves with a morning of taking silly selfies that amuse their now grown
children. It makes me happy.”
