It has been a while that I did not come here. I have not forgotten you, will never forget you.
I have often brought you greetings from our friend and sister, Joan Ngowo. Every time I spoke with her she would remind me that she is “old school” and that it is her children who make use of the apps in her phone. We would laugh over it and I would tell her to upgrade so that she can visit this website one day. She would answer “Bea, no try me oh. When you go there again, tell Hildah say I dey….”
I come here today with a heavy heart! I come here today to tell you that Joan is no more! Joan died 2 days ago, March 26, 2024 in Lagos where she lived. Joan died exactly 3 years after her husband died and in the same month (March 28th, 2021). Joan is on the way to meet you, Hildah or have you already seen her?
Joan’s departure re-opens my old wounds of grief and I cry beyond consolation!
Today I grief for Joan Ngowo,
Today I grief for Renee Ewene Sendze,
Today I grief for Mado Tangie,
Today I grief for you, Hildah!!!!
Helas, I am left alone! How can this be? How can this be? Na true say dis life no balance! When you meet Joan, tell her that I am heart broken! You must all be re-united by now and enjoying the heavenly bliss! I am sad, very sad! I am sad beyond consolidation!
