We spent much of our early family life in Takoradi. However, my career meant that there was always some travelling. My young family accompanied me to the United States when I went there for further studies. When we returned to Ghana in 1978, we eventually settled in Accra. A Faith That Sustained Us Who would believe that, before walking into Mass at Christ the King Church that Sunday, Helen and I had been bickering over something so insignificant? I cannot even remember what it was, but at the time, neither of us was ready to give in. Then the priest spoke about forgiveness, reminding us to forgive not merely seven times, but “seventy seven times.” Helen and I looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, our little argument seemed rather foolish. When I think about my life, I have many reasons to be grateful. Through the highs and lows, through love and loss, my faith has remained an anchor. “ Danny, Henry, Mabel, Dad, Cheryl, Kenneth and Steve 36 The Birthday Journal
