# [The Dad's journey to Africa: the beginning](https://steemit.com/life/@fionasfavourites/the-dad-s-journey-to-africa-the-beginning)

By: @fionasfavourites
>Last week, had he still been around, we'd have celebrated my Dad's 90th birthday. This year, for some reason, his birthday was an emotional day for me. Nineteen years ago, we celebrated his birthday with him. It was the day The Husband met him. They struck up a firm friendship. Instantly. Little did we imagine, then, that it would be his last birthday.

# [Why I am Thankful to My Struggle with Obesity....](https://steemit.com/ecotrain/@sharoonyasir/why-i-am-thankful-to-my-struggle-with-obesity)
By: @sharoonyasir
>I have struggled with obesity for a long time, since I was 9 years old to be precise. It was when I was in grade 3 when I realized I was fatter than most kids my age and did not look just as pleasant or attractive as believed by some of my relatives. My friends at that time never really insinuated this in any way and were quite nice, but some relatives I had found fun in humiliating me about my obesity. I wasn't obese at that time just chubby but they enjoyed calling me fat since it was funny for them. I remember being quite conscious about my weight then and when I turned 11, I started trying different ways and regimens to lose weight.
