Ayi father's day is here again, I can't believe it will be the second one without you. All I can say , Happy father's day to you. I feel like crying, but I won't because you don't wanna see any of crying but celebrating your life. A lot has happened, mostly good things and we know you are happy and resting where you are. My regards to my elder sis, your daughter/mother Ma Lydie. I love and miss you so bad. You are gone but not forgotten. Ever green and alive in our hearts and memories.

This evening for some reasons I just felt like having this conversation with you. I know you are listening. Talk to me, I wanna hear from you. Even come and tell me something in my dreams, my ears are wide open. For me you are not dead, you are resting. Death can not have you, it can't take you away from us. Rest in peace my dear father.

Ayi today is your birthday, I got up this morning, grabbed the phone to call you as I usually did, then remembered that our communication is no more done thru the phone, but thru prayers. A tear ran down my cheek, and I said my prayer. We were September birthday buddies. Today I still did celebrate your birthday and I had a glass of my best wine in your honor. Happy birthday Ayi. It would have been the 71st. I know you celebrated it in heaven with all the other angles. Love you father and Rest in Peace.

Ayi today Jan-10-2014 makes exactly one year since i had a face to face conversation with you. Jan-10-2013, was the day i was coming back to the US after a month vacation in Bokwoango where i came to show you your grandson Masoma Litumbe.That day, in the livingroom( parlour), you told me how happy you was because i brought you Masoma and you told me that next time you will stay with him , icome back and focus on my studies n work. I said ok Ayi i will do that. Before i left for the airport that i started crying and you asked me with that soothing voice of yours not to cry, that everything will be fine. Little did i know i was my last face to face with you my dear father. We hugged, and you kissed my forehead. It feels like yesterday in my mind. Ayi Ayi Ayi,the vaccum you left will never be filled. But thank GOD who is giving me the strength to take it one day @ a time. Your wife, kids grandkids, nephews n nieces are parying GOD to give you everlasting rest. My love to my big sister Ma Lydie in the world. We love you both. Till we meet again.
Love from all of us .
Love from all of us .

2014 is here and Ayi you are not. Exactly a year today, you invited a huge crowd for the baptism ceremony of you grand children ib bokwoango. We ate , drank, laughed and danced. Little did i know it was the last party i was enjoying with you. Today i took a walk down memory lane, and as usual, it pains. All i have are just memories. Ayi i can tell you are resting and having a good time with your father in heaven. My dear father rest in peace till we meet again. Adieu mon pere cheri.

A letter to AYI."
Mbombe this is december 24th, it hurts so bad to know you are no more here to celebrate with us. I remember all the fun i had last year back home with you. I wish i could live those moments again and again. My only consolation is that you are in a better place. Enjoy your reunion with the other angels. Just know that things have not been the same since you left. We feel your absence every step of the way, i feel so so lost, but i promise i will pick up the pieces this 2014 and do the right thingt. I Never knew it will be like this. But we all promise to keep you legacy, for we all know what will make you proud.Mama is holding on and keep watching over us. Our love to sister Mamie. Love you both.
Christmas without you is something i can not even describe. But enjoy your stay in the upper room, we will make it in Jesus name.

Hi Ayi,
i guess you had a safe trip from life to death. How did you meet my sister, your late daughter Lydia Mojoko Manyanye? Has she put on weight, is she still the beauty queen i knew, what about my namesake Paul Manyanye Monjoa?
We started digging your grave today and from all indications, it shall be well.

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "come to me."
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
ADIEU

A year already 08/11/2013-08/11/2014.
Ayi,
I remember like it was yesterday when Cynthia Called @ 10:10pm that Saturday August 10/2013 here in Missouri and 04:10 am in Buea, and said "Mama Titi, it's over, Ayi is gone, he took his last breath 3 min ago". I screamed, and screamed and screamed. For reasons known to me and God, I decided to pray and asked GOD to receive Ayi in HIS KINGDOM. I then started making calls to those concerned and to get a ticket ASAP. I still cry, because I find it hard to believe that I have not received any calls from you just to check and chat like old pals as you did with all of your kids. But I count it all joy to know you played your part here on earth, you did almost everything you had to do except living more for us. I keep playing in my mind the wonderful moments we had. I remember a conversation we had, that day we were driving from Frederick to Greenbelt to attend the Bakweri meeting. You said" look at my daughter driving me all over America, David!!!!!!!" and I told you" Ayi there is still more to came, this is just the beginning, your next trip will be more fun , we will take more road trips". Little did I know it was my plan not God's. I also remember during one of your hospital stay in Laurel Regional Hospital in Maryland, I saw you in so much pain that I went in the bathroom and was crying, you called me by your bedside with your usual smile and voice you said" Pourquoi tu pleures? Mere, un chef de famille ne pleure pas, je ne vais pas mourrir maintenant, tout ca est passager". Your stoicism was at it's peak 24/7. No matter how much pain you were in, you never wanted anyone to feel bad. You always encourage others and tell them you will be fine. That is why even after my siblings told me the condition was not good I knew you will come over, because to me , you were my TROOPER, always bouncing back, no matter what. But I guess, this time around GOD wanted you back in heaven with the other angels. I am happy because you are not alone there, Lydie Mojoko Manyanye and all the others family members who preceded in the world beyond were happy to see you wherever Ayi is, there is joy, fun and lots of laughter. Thank you for watching over us, I am trying my best not to cry anymore because I know you don't want to see me crying all the time, but Ayi it is hard. We are all doing fine and we are all working together to keep your legacy alive. We all know what will make you happy and proud and we are doing just that. You were that father every child will like to have. My Ayi, my Mbombeeeyyy, my counselor, my HERO, My numero Uno Padre. Rest in Peace till we meet again.
Your daughter, Enanga Ikome Manyanye.

Sleeping For Too Long
Still sleeping? For how long again?
Not tired of sleeping? Even after 5 years?
Very few or from you. So you find pleasure sleeping? Sleep father. You need(ed) it. Now you can rest for there is no pain where you are. No injection, no insulin, no illness and I guess no trouble.
Your life was a difficult one marked by betrayals from many.
How did your daughter, our sister (ma Lydie) receive you? And how did you receive your sister, our aunty (mama Enanga Ikome)?
What about mola James Esembe, mola Ngalle Elive, mola Tobias Esuka, mola Peter Mandalo, Pa Ngange Moliki, Mbamba Okwaongo and the list goes on and on (...)
I hope all of you must have received your cousine Aunty Rose Enanga Njie aka Ohoho who was buried today August 11, 2018?
Dear father, sleep well till we meet again.
