Goodbye, Too Soon
My name is Helen Tanwani. Bah Henry Mba was my best friend’s husband. Bah Henry Mba’s death was sudden. When I heard the news I simply could not believe it. For the time that I have known Bah Henry Mba, I can describe him as a man of the people, loving, caring, kind, god fearing, solve – spoken person with a ready smile for everyone.
I will like to share one memory that really illustrates Bah. Henry Mba’s kindness to me, in 2016 when I return to Cameroon after spending several years in the United States of America, Bah Henry gave me a car and a driver to drive me around for the three months that I stayed in Yaoundé. All that I needed to do was to fuel the car. From then each time that I visited Cameroon I always spend some time with Bah Henry Mba and the wife in Douala.He will always make sure that we begin our day with praise songs and prayer.
Bah Henry Mba was well loved and he had done so many things on earth and I am sure he will do much more in heaven. This is not the time for us to grieve his death but it’s our time to celebrate his life.His sudden death has taught me several lessons. First we cannot know for certain how long we have here on earth. We cannot foresee the trials or misfortunes that will test us along the way. Also, we cannot know what God’s plan is for us. What we can do is to live our lives as best as we can with purpose, love and with joy.
Bah Henry Mba although you are gone, but the memory of the times we spend together will remain with me and my family forever.
