September 6, 2022
Ij, I'm still numb at the news of your sudden death. Still so strange really. Our memorable days in Nimo comes to me so clearly,it's heartbreaking!. The days on end when we played cards, and I and Tim ran around Asele much to the slight irritation of Late Prof. Uche Okeke (of blessed memory). How about my short holiday with you in Enugu which I still relish with so much joy and laughter. You were a big sister with a big heart!. You taught me how to act smart and be my self and taught me things down to observing personal hygiene. Our days in Nsukka also is impeded so much in my memory.
Our families were so close, and you never quite relented to keep in touch even when we 'grew up' and went different ways to build our own families in different places with you in SA.
You kept in touch and I remember your words in a familiar way telling me not to stay away. We did keep in touch because from your love for people emanates a certain degree of closeness to you. I will surely miss you Ij. I could go on and on but this is still so surreal. I need to take a breath to come in terms with it.
May God grant you eternal rest big sis.
