Daddy,
Just yesterday I saw a man that looked like you praying in the chapel while I was there. I remembered immediately that you are no more with us and I prayed for you and for a continued fortitude for us to bear your loss.
Early this morning, Brian sent me a gentle sms reminder. It read, "This day, 2 years ago, daddy joined d saints of heaven to continue to intercede for us. As we offer prayers for his soul, we rejoice for he lives with Christ".
As I write this, Dad tears are flowing uncontrollably done my eyes. Wish u stayed a little longer to see that we are all doing fine as you intended for us all.
We sure know that you are resting in the bosom of the Almighty God. I refuse to say adieu to you today for I know that you still live in us all.
Daddy, continue to rest in the Lord where you have found ABSOLUTE peace and quite.
it is six months you are gone now. we miss you dearly. your brothers do not want us to drink water and drop our cups. please from heaven above look and protewct us
Death is a part of life.
No one escapes its clutches,
And no one can escape the harsh
Reality of dealing with the loss of someone dear
Upon this day I reminisce
With sadness but with gratitude to God
The loss of Barrister Lawrence Agbala,
My beloved Father-in-Law
Upon this day, I declare that he is not dead:
He’s resting in the bosom of God
He only just gone home
ogo, though you have passed on,
You are still there in every shadow, and memory
You will live forever through the living.
I will forever remember you,
for taking me as your own son
from the very first day
I met you.
Daddy, I still remember when you used to feed me as if it were yesterday. you will put me on top of the dinning table by your right hand and tell me "saa aka gi" and I will open my palm to receive a little lump of eba that can go down my tiny throat.
Mum still tease me about my feeding bottle that you prepare milk/cerelac in when you call it a day in the chambers.you stopped when the bottle was misplaced(when I was 4).
I remember when you send me on an errand and I'll take time and play around, after a while you'll now call out " Andrew, ife nwa eji aka n'osisi", then I'll come running.
Dad, thanks for all you taught us and I know you are with the lord.
Daddy, I still cry whenever I remember you. Your last words still echo in my mind. Dad, I spoke with you on Sunday and that fateful Monday little did I know that it was the last. I still remember what you told me when you called me in the hospital a week before you left. You said, 'Stella, anum ife mee nu ndoo'.
I remember how you used to wake I and Chioma up for early morning Mass, 'Stella!!, Sylvia!! 5 aku go odika unu a mejezi uka'. You did not allow the things of this world bother you and that I will forever remember you for. As children, when we did things that were not right, Dad you used to scold us thus, "Mebie ya na i ma ro ife, nwa ego abughi aku. Amu gi n'abali".
Dad, thanks for having a word with me before going to be with the Lord.
