because I was lonely in Canada during the cold month of January, I would “flash” buddies and ask them to call back. That was the practice back then in Ghana if you didn’t have airtime to make calls, so I assumed it was a global practice. Unfortunately, the plan I had did not cover free receiving of calls. When I received my phone bill for that month, I wished an earthquake would swallowme up. I felt awful considering the significant financial support Sista Becks was giving me, especially at a time that she had also supported Rex to travel to the UK. However, she realised that it was an honest mistake, no matter how dumb it was, and forgave me without making much fuss about it. That’s how reasonable and fair my sweet sister is! After completing my MA Economics program in a year, I couldn’t wait to relocate to the US to be close to her.
