Iduu Ekwueme Sir, Kedu ka-Imere?
It's exactly two months today, yet it's like yesterday since you passed.
We are writing our tributes to you Dad as a living soul because we understand that we never lost you.
Death is subtle, but even life isn't any different. Your passing has thought us that death isn't something to be afraid of.
A transition to glory isn't something to morn for, and so we celebrate you Dad, for you deserve more than that. The life you lived was that of a warrior, and knowing how much you battled your health during your lifetime, how many times you fell, how many times you were rushed to the hospital, only for you to get back and start dancing is more than amazing. The struggles of live trew arrows at you and all you did was laugh, clap your hands and sang praises to God.
What a fearless man you are Dad
There are no farewells Dad, but "auf Wiedersehen". I have no doubt about seeing you soon in heaven where you are right now guiding, watching, smiling and laughing with us, calming us down and giving us hope, where you have gone to prepare our place for us.
Destiny calls can most times be very challenging and heart breaking, if we do not understand it, we only suffer, but no matter how dark dying seems, it always has a whiteness in it. Heroes rise and fall. Heroes come and go. You are the Hero who rose and lives on.
Dying can be blissful and exciting, especially when we know where we are headed, but it's grand essence only become known to us when we do finally die. For when we die, we see this darkness taking us to lightness, we feel this lightness like a weightless body, we experience peace of nature, the true love of nature, for when we die, we didn't actually die, WE LIVE.
So my dearest great and beloved Dad, The Iduu Ekwueme 1, Nwaeze the prince who is known for never starting a speech without an Igbo proverb. I will miss you, pls stay in touch and do enjoy the warmness of the arms of our Lord.
Auf Wiedersehen Iddu my Daddy.
