The traditional March trip to Cameroon

December 2, 2013

Papa Emma made me feel so special, he called me his daughter. Every year in January, he will asked me to tell him when he will be taking his vacation to Cameroon? Some how we came to pick the magic month of March. He never leaves Arizona to Cameroon directly. His route is usually Arizona to Canada, France, Bruxilles and finally Cameroon, and he comes back the same way. I will joke with him to find out if he is ready for his round the world trip. With his usual broad smile, he will say "I love to go round during this time to visit the other children and see my grandchildren." Upon each return over the years, he comes back happy and fresh, and you can tell that he just came back from a well rested vacation. He can't wait to share all the stories from home, most especially the new "scent" he got this time in Paris. what a show man he was. At 67years young, you can tell from his looks and styles, that he was a true guy from Bafang. His vogue was of "haute class". I will miss dancing Tchana Pierre with him. This year's March trip was not the same. He stayed longer than usual, he did not look himself or happy, when he finally came back. That is how I knew something was wrong. Suddenly my, our show guy was gone. I am missing those stories of the good old days in Nkong, Pariis and Yaounde. They  were always interesting. We can sleep, now that we know you are no longer in pain, though we miss you.
