Daddy yesterday as I sat in my lonely house my thoughts slipped to you. I remembered your last days on earth and my childhood dsys with you. I wished some part of it would come back. I held back the tears. It was later that day I saw it was your death anniversary. I love you daddy.
Today is Sunday. This afternoon we will all have been at our parents for Sunday Lunch which would have been Pounded yam and afia efere. Daddy loved Sunday afternoons with his children and he will tell us many stories. It was always fun at the table, seven of us. We miss you Daddy and relish the good times we had. Thank you for being a great Daddy to us. God bless you
