Mommy.... as I fondly Called u. Your demise is still one of d rudest shocks that sent my heart in ripples in my whole entire life. Till this moment, my breathe stops for a moment, whenever thoughts of u crawl into my mind or issues concerning u is raised. Most times I can't help d drops of tears that trickles down my eyes, but what gives me joy is that I'm very certain u r with our creator. U r resting now. U r far away from this brutish, harsh n wicked world, and away from ppl that are as thus wicked n irrevocably malicious and unrepentant. Mommy, I was not opportuned to know u for a Veeery long period, but d few years I did, I'll mince no words to say u r one of d most awesome, beautiful, loving, kindest, amiable, sweetest, warmest, gracious, generous, large hearted, free spirited souls I have met in my entire life. U were beautiful in and out. I remember the very first day I met u in person, instantaneously, I fell in love with u. U took me n embraced me immediately like your own. You loved me to bits n even wished me all that u wished your own biological children. U reached out for me even in my darkest times and would always call and chat me up to lift my spirits. We talked n Gisted like friends n buddies. U will call me n pull joke about everything and anything with me. Gist me all the gists of life and we will laugh so hard like we had known for ages. Irrespective of our age differences, u treated me like I was one of Ur best friends. U always had a reason for me to smile and laugh so hard. U were so magical. U lit up a room d moment u stepped into it. Oh my God! Mommy, I remember when I visited u in a hospital, when it hadn't gotten so bad, we Gisted and played. In your usual way, u said silly jokes and we laughed silly and so hard. You called the nurses to come n see your daughter. You referred to me as "nwamnwanyi" meaning (my daughter), any where u would introduce me to anyone. Little did I know I won't won't be seeing u for long. You prayed n prayed for and blessed me. You encouraged me to always love chichi ,and always made it known to me that she is my sister. I can't believe u have gone mommy. Even on your death bed, u still looked beautiful and alive, the only difference was that u were not talking which was very much unlike u. If I hadn't seen you that day, I will still be in doubt that u are gone. Words fail me! Words fail me! If I continue, it will b endless, Cuz you were diversity in itself. U were everywhere and everything to everyone. You were a blessing to everyone that had a encounter with you. There are loads and loads of things I will write about u mom. One thing I know for sure is that I miss u terribly. I'll forever miss u. I miss all your oyibo things u dash me. I miss your laughter n smile. I miss your jokes and your pulling of my legs. I miss Ur hailing and gingering. All the beautiful names u used to call me. All the plenty cookings for us whenever we came around....everything! I miss everything. I pray to God for your eternal rest mommy. Rest in peace nwanyi Oma. Nwany Mara mma obi ya Mara mma. I've loved you, I love you, I will always love you forever. REST IN PEACE
