I woke up this morning with the thought of calling your cell phone and it dawned on me that you're truly gone; then, I decided to write about you, the missing puzzle in the family.
Since you've been gone, it's not been easy. You were the broker in the family and I feel like the one that truly cares for me and everyone else is gone. You were the one that calls me, hugs me, comments my good looks, never criticizes me, respects me, loves my family, and encourages me. In you I found a brother and a friend. Whenever am around you, I never felt different because you are so proud of me!
Since you've been gone, I feel all alone. I will never hear that gentle and subtle voice that calls me, Nne. I will never get that call again from Ogo asking me for directions and opinions. I will never hear that voice that pulls me closer and tells me how much am loved even when I don't feel so. You are the missing puzzle in the family and no ONE is too calm to fill your shoes. My heart has been broken and disbursed abroad because ...........(left unsaid.)
Even though I appear strong, I sometimes feel fragile. But I know that the book of Deuteronomy 31:6 reminded us that the LORD our God is with us and he will never leave us nor forsake us.
When you look down, please let not your heart be troubled because God will fix it! I want you to Rest In Peace!!! Nothing is too small for God to do. I believe that with his grace, we will find strength to move on as we deal with the grief of your passing.
Missing you Greatly,
Chichi, Nne Your Big Sis
