Enyinna, the last three months (August-October 2016) of your life we became very close. That was a moment I knew you most; I held off expressing myself especially about your transition, but now I need closure. I still recollect my first phone call to you - you were so excited to hear from me after 18 years. While I asked you about your health, you were more interested in my welfare, life, and my job. We had chats on WhatsApp 2-3ce a week. I remember our phone conversations in August and September. I still remember your responses anytime I asked for your treatment (chemo and radiation sessions). Even when our classmates proposed to visit you in Enugu, you politely declined rather you asked for our prayers. As I go through our chats…. your “Thanks” at the end of each conversation amazes me.
Enyinna, I remembered all like yesterday. Even until the last Saturday of your passing when I spoke with you, you said you were frail, but I should remember you in prayer. Whenever I sent you a message, you always responded within 24 hrs. On Monday, October 10th, I sent you a message, and I expected a response as usual; my inner mind told me you had passed but kept waiting for your reply. On Tuesday night, I got the message on the Elect/Elect WhatsApp group of you passing. Okey, I know you are in a better place. No more Pain! No more Surgeries!! No more Chemo and Radiation!!!
Above all, GOODNIGHT Okechukwu Enyinna.
