ALHAMDULILLAH, TODAY, MY 'JAPANESE' BABY KENJI IS 5 YEARS OLD!
WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO BE A GRAND FATHER? MY HEART AND DEDICATION WAS ALWAYS THAT OF A REAL FATHER AND A REAL MOTHER !
My children's and grandchildren's Destiny is in their own hands, not in mine, or if there really is a God, in His Hands!
SADLY, the COVID-19 PLANDEMIC HOAX proved that most of us worship Satan and not God!
However, it is also obvious that WITHOUT GOD, this world would have disappeared a long time ago!
