Mummy,
I still remember running into your room that very morning. I still remember the crazy way I drove you to the hospital and your most caring Son, my husband holding you in the back seat of the car. I remember my screaming and wailing at the security men at our estate gate who didnt realise we had an emergency. Mummy we have since moved out of that Estate. It seemed you pulled a fast one on us that very day. It seemed you had already planned to exit that very morning hence your decision to bless every one around the day before. Mummy, you were a class of your own. Firm, thorough, intelligent, brave, decent, excellent, strong willed, well educated, graceful and with great poise.
I want to remember you for all the good you did. You paid evil with good. You left your footprint in the Sands of time.
They ran down your pharmacy, some greedy and ungrateful souls but you forgave all. Yes I still remember our little gossip sessions.
They stayed on in your property even with the meager rent that wasn't forth coming and I promised you, I will fight to get them out of your house. Mummy the court has finally asked your tenant to move out. I just want to let you know that one leg of your battle has been won even when you are gone. Your son Ikenna engaged a lawyer and justice was served.
Mummy, your pension we have still not pursued because we see more pensioners who are still alive and suffering yet no one pays attention to them. Will they pay the one owed you after you are gone..
Daddy's book is yet to be launched but God willing as I promised you mummy, it will happen.
I know you will be happy to hear about this, An annual Lecture has been slated in memory of your late husband.. do you get to see him over there, please let him know about this development. If the organisers are doing so for personal gains, let daddy give us hint on best way to handle this.
Mummy, I miss you terribly, there are some things I will like to share with you as usual but you are no longer here and there is really no one left to tell it. I love you mum. I truly do. Feeling really down, sad and off.
Continue to rest in perfect peace my sweet Mummy E. I love you forever.
Your Daughter in Law
Mary
