Ok they just called me now that mummy arnt feeling too well and shes being taken to the hospital "surprised surprised, l was having a meeting with a client in his office at the airport, at that point upon hearing that mum has being taking to the hospital l just lost concentration immediately during the meeting, had to quickly end the meeting..
Fast forward to the rest of the day we kept trying to reach dee ike the person with u mom on that day all to no avail...
Only for sis nwaka to call me around 9:30 pm thereabout, the tone of that phone call stil ruminate in my head so loud....[ijeoma ijeoma ijeoma mummy don die ] omggggggggg and my phone dropped from my hand to the floor, l tried to contemplate the news but l just couldn't fathom it...
My eyes where wide open from that time til 7am the next morning the 1st of Augus couldn't find sleep....
And ever since then,its being pretty hard leaving without you,not hearing your voice , ur gist,your laughter,your yabbings ooh what a life...
Its being 365days and its just like yesterday,infact that date 31st july is now indelible in my heart of hearts...
Dear mum so many many things have happened since you left us, but l take solace in the fact each time l think about you that you are certainly in a better place where there is no more death nor pain, you lived a good life worthy of emulation, you loved and served the lord with all your heart and all of your resources @ your disposal, you were dogged, very courageous, very outspoken,very easy going, very strong, quick to forgive, very graceful,very endearing.
Dear mum you were everything wrapped up in one package....l thank God I was able to show you love nd care in my best possible way when you were around...
I can keep going on and on but l feel so emotional even writing this tribute, thoughts of you just keeps flooding my mind, spirit , soul and body...
Sometimes, somethings cannot fully be expressed in words but God knows everything...
Keep resting mum aka Dame mercy aka digital mama....
I love you endlessly mum...
