My Sister, My Friend

December 14, 2015

It is hard to talk of you in the past. It is hard to believe that you are no more. I cannot stop asking questions about what happened; what went wrong; why did it happen; how did it happen; why now and why to my sister?

Sister, your transition to glory has left a big vacuum in our mist, in our family and has left us wondering. I called you at 5 pm on Friday when I heard you had been taken to hospital in Yaounde. Despite the fact that your voice was low, I could not imagine the unbearable. we talked and I planned to visit you the coming week, only to be called at 4 am on saturday that you had made your final breath.


Sister I do not  know how to contend myself. It was better I did not call you on that Friday. Dorcas you surprised me, Dorcas you took me unaware, Dorcas you disgraced me, Dorcas you exposed me, Dorcas you did the unimaginable, Dorcas it pains........ At the end of the day I only have to conclude God knows why, his understanding surpasses all our imaginations. RIP sis.

My Conclusion

December 14, 2015

 

Did not know that she will be gone before meeting our baby, a year after she stood by us during our wedding.

Auntie Dorcas: ".......Isaac, I cannot come and see the baby in your absence. I will wait and come only when you come back!

Isaac: Ok, auntie Dorcas, no problem.

Auntie Dorcas: Greet Yvette and the baby for me!

Isaac: I'll do

Auntie Dorcas: Ok, Bye

Little did I knw this was going to be our last conversation on Earth. But I am confident that we will meet again in Heaven

My Conclusion is that the boundary between life and death is a very, very, very thin line.

Dear Friends and Family,

Please accept my deepest condolences. I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope you might find comfort in knowing that our loved ones that have died are safe in Gods memory and we will soon have the opportunity to welcome these ones back to eternal life on a paradise earth. In God's word, the Bible, we find this promise: "The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.". (Psalm 37:29)

With Sincerity,
Abby E" (This tribute was added by Abby E on 2nd December 2015)

Life is short; death is sure and after that, Judgment! What a world and what a shocking way God has used to remind us!! Wonders shall never really end!
Sis Dor I do not imagine and cannot understand that this shocking message about your dead this morning is true! What a world, Sis Dor. This is a millennium shock for real. I pray Boh Ma bears this loss and that God should stand by him & the children as he goes through this difficult period.

She was an icon in our family, she was a selfless woman, she was so caring to every one who came her way...she was a woman of substance and above all very hardworking. Her balance between school, work, projects and family was exceptional. She is my role model and I looked up to her so much. I dunno why she had to leave us so soon. Now what can we do but pray for the strength to carry on without her. This will be very hard but I know with God's grace we will make it. We love u Aunt Dorcas Waindim. You will for ever be in out hearts.

Lord...all I can say as tears roll down my cheeks is...to you be all the Glory. Mbong, What have you done to us? Where will we keep Martha & Ncham? My kids were gearing up to spend this Christmas with Auntie Dorcas in Bamenda! What will I tell them Mbong? Why couldn't you wait for me to come back home from wherever? Gone without a word? My wife spoke with you a wwek ago..you complained so mildly...what went wrong within few days Mbong? Where do we start from Mbong? We Love you and forever you will live in our hearts. Tim, this is hard to take, but our prayers are with you. The Lord will strengthen you and pull us all through this dream. I wish I could wake up and hear that it was a dream...that it didn't happen. Lord, help us.

Yesterday, my aunt passed. She was different things to different people. Everything to her husband. A mother to her kids. A lecturer to her students. A leader to the Peace Corps volunteers she trained. A light for the women and orphaned children who benefitted from her NGO (ASEED). A PhD student.
In a lot of ways, she was like me. Moreso, she was a lot of what I aspire to. 
She's left a huge vacuum. Her life made a big difference. Thank you for sharing the time you had with us, aunty Dorcas Waindim. I didn't think last summer would be the last. I hope I can use the time I have to make an impact just like you have. I'd be damned if I don't try.

Docki! It is sad that I have not been able to see you since our last meeting in Bujumbura. You have been a great friend and sister. I have really been touched by your sudden departure. Your memory will remain engraved in my mind forever. May God continue to protect your family and Bobe please take courage. Rest in peace my dear!

I am confused. Jesus Christ have mercy on us. You had such a big Project to work with Bamendathreecouncil Nkwen. To think that its just a couple of months I prepared a Document between your Organization (ASEED) andBamendathreecouncil Nkwen to support your project on Orphans and Vulnerable Children in our Municipality. On behalf of Bamenda 3 Council, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.

La première fois que je t'ai vu à Kigali,sans même te connaître,j'ai senti cette chaleur maternelle que tu dégageais. Maman Dorcas Waindim tu es parti si vite!pourquoi?
Repose en paix et que le tout puissant t'accueille dans sa demeure.
Maman Dorcas....

I can’t believe this happened! This day is a hard one for me. It is so much easier to mourn in silence; it takes away the worry of not being able to get your words out, or even just simply getting the right words. But silence or not, one thing which I am sure we all appreciate today, is being wherever we are, sharing in each other's silence, each other's moments of thought and grief for Dorcas who we all loved, as a friend, a colleague, a mother, a sister ...our Dorcas Waindim Mbonghabu.
Dorcas, I spoke with you last week on the phone and our last agreement was that I will see you in December. Why have you suddenly changed that plan? No farewell words, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. 
May you find comfort in the house of the Lord. I will always live to remember you. 
RIP Dorcas.

HOW PATHETIC THAT DORCAS IS GONE!!!!!! NJAAANNNGGGGG!!!!!!

HOW PATHETIC THAT DORCAS IS GONE!!!!!! NJAAANNNGGGGG!!!!!!

“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”  “You must learn some of my philosophy. “Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.”

Permit me tell this roaming story which bubbled in my mine as soon as I heard Aunty Dorcas

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’ The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?’ The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’ 

The intellectual library of Bum, the one who has drunk the ink of modern education has gone just like that? How could death snatch her just before her song of victory? Why couldn’t the forces of evil wait just for a year or more, enough time for her to accumulate a little something for her family and dependents?

The cold hand of death has gone epidemic, the village have spared slashing fangs of vampires of modern death.  OOOHHH  when an intellectual is gone from a village that knows no four walls of modern higher education of her standard, even if some exist in rare, it ceases to be an emotional thing because it doesn’t make sense any more.

Aunti Dor… Your name is feedback….you have not gone

You were my role model

December 4, 2015

Auntie Dorcas,

Just when I had finished wearing my shoe to get closer to you for mentorship,the sad news of you departure entered my tympanic membrane. At first I could not accept what my ears heard,I rushed to my room to reflect on the sad news,made calls to find out the veracity and when every one i called confirmed it my face and mode changed and i kept asking my self one question; why? why? why?.............One thing I have learnt is that God had a plan for you when he created you and His purpose in your life was accomplished that's why He called you home to rest so soon.However your departure has left a gap in my life that only the grace of God can fill.I miss you forever.
ADIEU ANTI DORCAS. 

A Vacuum in Me

December 4, 2015

Dear Auntie Dorcas,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Auntie D was a truly special person to me and I will never forget the moments we shared. It seems so cruel to lose one so dear. Time may dull the pain, but I will never forget you auntie. Always in my heart will you remain. May the love you shared with us your juniors light your way unto the Lord. Every meaningful life has an impact on this world and yours was a spectacular one, not only to your generation, peers but to the wider society. You were and will remain a model. I am sending you a hug and my love through this note. Take it and carry it along. I can remember that No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.  I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I remember early September 2015 when you advised me to move on professionally and later in October 2015, you congratulated me for the new job. We made arrangements to meet for a brief orientation with regards to the new job. In November 2015, we agreed to meet but professional engagements made this impossible. Upon my return, we further agreed to meet but you never told me that time was short. Rushing from my station (Kumbo) to Bamenda in preparation of our long planned meeting, i could not get to Bamenda on time. Trying to dial your number on a certain Saturday, i was told i can't have access to you. I thought it was temporal but few seconds, i was made to know that it is forever. I have accepted it but i am not convinced that you are gone. Be with us forever auntie as memories of you will not die. Go well, till we meet again.


Your Brother
