“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey…” Akushika smiled as Bukky gently sang to Ellen while she carried her. Of course, her incredible vocals were doing the business, sending sweet chills down Akushika’s spine. Lullabies for Ellen were going to be a heavenly experience. Two days had
