10 years later
Without My Daddy
It was on 14th Feb that year,We( my sister and I) were already dressed for church that morning,but I noticed everyone was behaving strange but I did not really read meaning to it untill My big uncle came and burst the news to us. ( Sorry your Dad passed away this morning). I was shocked and saw that my little sister was too, oh we wailed like never before, my cousin came together and were trying their best to console me but I wasn’t hearing any of it.
And how time flies, who would have thought it’s 10 solid years already, I remember the few days I spent at the hospital with my Daddy taking turn with my mom. He will always ask me of school and he was looking so strong, all my thoughts was that he will be discharged soon but death had other plans.
The first three years of my Daddy demise, I was in great denial that he’s gone, I felt it was like an expensive prank or something, just this few years I’m beginning to accept reality.
I’m on a swing trying to get my Daddy voice again but guess what? I can’t, he voice is fading in head not something I want but I’m glad there are pictures of him at home that I can always take quick look at.
In January, I told myself that I wasn’t going to cry but thank God for seeing us through as a family for the past 10 years. With nobody to call a Daddy , it’s hard it’s just hard.
I remember how people close to me in University were so quick to call their father whenever we had school issues, while I just stay and look at them or cry myself to sleep.
My Dad passed on when I was a teenager,now I’m an adult.
I’m sure if he was alive,he would have been happy of the person I’m becoming .
He would have smile really hard ( I got that from him and let’s not talk about his laugh, very loud and of course I laugh that way sometimes too)
Or he would have cracked a joke, whenever my friends tell me I’m funny (I’m like, holdup have you meet my parent, they’re comedians themselves).
I would been lying If i say I don’t miss my Dad, we had unfinish discussions, plans and many more until death took him from us.
Dear Daddy, I know you can’t read this
But ever since you left it has been roller coaster.
We’ve had the good, bad and ugly days.
There were times, we all wish you could appear and help us out.
But I won’t deny the fact that God sent people our ways which we are grateful for .
Dear Daddy
My younger ones are now dragging height with me
You remember how I was telling you I was going to be taller than you soon but you did not even wait for that time to come.
Dear Daddy
I still struggle to cross busy roads because you were the one who always held our hands to cross,but I’m learning gradually.
Dear Daddy
I don't know if this pain will ever go away,this is a question I ask myself always.
Dear Daddy
I have a lot to say,but tears won't let me. I thought 10 years would reduce the pain,it hasn't but we've learn to deal with it.
Dear Daddy
We(Mummy, Rere, T.J and I) miss you so much
Keep resting at the Master’s feet.
During the week, I discovered this song by Joe L Barnes.
To every grieving heart, I pray that the Lord comfort you🤍.
May daddy's soul rest in peace.
Don't everything is going to be fine and surely your daddy will definitely be proud of you.
You are a strong lady and you are doing great. ❤❤
This is beautiful. My condolences
