Papa Emma,
My dad, my sweet dad, my lovely dad, my nice dad, my kind dad, my good dad, my generous dad, my wonderful dad, my pleasant dad, my always happy dad, my always joyful dad, my always laughing dad, my always available dad, my gracious dad, my humor daddy, my everlasting daddy, my endless daddy, my only dad.
I already miss you, I miss you so much, I will always miss you.
I know you are at home in Heaven. I guess you are so happy and it’s bright there.
I guess there is perfect joy and beauty in the everlasting light that abounds.
All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing gone.
Safely home in Heaven, away from earthly quarries.
You did you part as man, with human frailties laden.
There is still work waiting, so we must not idly stand.
For we have to move your business one step forward.
We will do it now while life remaineth.
The road may be long and winding, with ambushes here and there.
But trust me we will never give up the fight and we will fight for your name, for MOUNKAM.
You gave me some of your last words and wishes.
You asked me to fight for unity in our family and I promised I will.
You asked us to take good care of Maman Julie and we promised we will.
You asked us to work harder for your business and we promised we will.
Dad, I will do my very best and make sure all your wishes are fulfilled.
My dad, go in peace and may your gentle soul rest in eternal peace until we meet again in our Lord’s everlasting Kingdom.
Your Son, Serge “Fêh” NGAJUI FOSSO
