TRIBUTE TO MY SUPER MUMMY.
Oh mummy, am yet to come out of the shock and face the reality of your demise. I was shocked to my marrow when I confirmed that it was sunset at midday. The moment I received the news of your ascendance, my world caved in, my heart was torn into two, one was filled with heartache and pain and the other died with you. Sleep eluded me. All I could recall then was your last call when I was in the office that beautiful morning few days before the unthinkable happened. I lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep, through the stillness of the dark. I take a walk down memory lane with tears filled eyes trying to figure out those lovely years I shared in your love, generosity and care for humanity.
Oh death where is thy sting? What a travail of mortal man in vanity. I could write a million pages yet unable to describe your personality and how much you gave yourself and your resources in caring for your children, other people's children and all around you. I lack words in describing the kind of mother you were to me and my siblings but still could not control my tears each time I tried to write. If I could control my tears and write books about you, dear mummy, mummy Umuhia, these would be the greatest ever told of a kind, loving, warm hearted, hard working ( onye nlaka), Inspiring and a virtuous mother who had a generous heart of gold. I don't know why good things don't last. So many questions I will ask God when we get to heaven. Your hands were too open to all without discrimination and it was just a privilege growing up under such a super model.
You were our living epistle in different versions personified. Through your lifestyle, I realized that hospitality is a gift and a ministry which you were called into by your maker and which you sold yourself into till death. Deaths of lovely ones and relatives never moved which made me assumed the life of a strong man but your demise has proved me wrong.
Mummy, you are simply my hero. Your departure to be with your maker has made me not to be afraid of death anymore. The essence of my cry is that death could not even allow you a little bit longer to enjoy the fruits of your labour but we give God all the glory for the legacy you left behind. The vacuum you Left behind is too much bear but we take solace in God who will help us to live without you. I love you so much mummy. I and my family will miss you.
Farewell, ye dreams of night, lost in this dawning light, Farewell mortality, loved and blessed. Wishing you sweet scenes of rest in the Lord's Bossom till we join you. Rest on - My hero, Rest on - my sweet mummy, Rest on - Mummy umuhia, Rest on - Ochiri ozua, Rest on - Nne oha, Lerue enya. Till we meet again on that resurrection morning.
