Dear Sam Rest In Peace
It's with a heavy heart i pen this message , I was shocked to hear the sad news, of your sudden demise.
But I have had time to reflect and had the opportunity to speak to your sister , and Mum, they all miss you Sam. Your siblngs , mum , extended family and friends miss you already .
We would all mss you Really sad you went so early !!!!!!!
If i had to start recalling our wonderful childhood in GRA Bota full of enduring and lasting memories it will take forever , but i remember your wit ,mischief, stoicism in times of diffiulties , fun ,wisdom for cooling the flames when we got into trouble while playng "inter quartier" or escapades going into town at night , nightclubs etc .
We looked up to you because you were hip, bold , knowledgeable , slightly older , knew about girls, savvy , and deem to be wiser. But i remember you getting a bunch of us into trouble with the local Law enforcers because of one of your funny escapades.
The memory of that night still lives on with me , i had the opportunity to recall the experience with Dibo. I will always have fun memories of you , victor , your beautiful sisters , gentle Mum and your late Dad .
Dear Sam rest in perfect peace I found these words spoken by Lord Balfour , who was Prime Minister of the UK in the last century apt to share
"The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness;
to an opponent ,tolerance ;
to a friend , your heart;
to your child , a good example
to a father deference
to your Dear Mum , conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself ,
respect to all men charity".
I know you met the criteria of ths quote Dear Sam What is a family? Well there are many definitions, but this is one which i particularly like:
A family is people who care when you are sad Who love you no matter what, Who share your triumphs'
Who don't expect you to be perfect
Just growing with honesty In your own direction .
Rest in peace till we meet again I am sure you are already with late Dad and Ernest Ndiba your cousin enjoying their exquisite company away from the daily challenges and problems of the living ,
.How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders ! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. and his dominion is from generation to generation .
