I think of you endlessly, and the pain keep growing greater and greater. You said to me that this is how you were with your father;please tell me how you did it? Because i can't.

Dear father,
You have left us way too early. I am here to let you know that I have a son, Liam and I cannot accept the fact that my little man will never know what a handsome man his grandpa was. He looks exactly like you and every time I look at him smile I think of you.

I will aways be your Maduda.
God bless you!

that I can no longer hear you tell me how proud you are of me,
that I can no longer enjoy your unfailing love and support,
that I will no longer see you enjoy your grand daughters,
that I will no longer hear you remind me that I am your first born and that my birth position comes with a

Sokombe was a dynamic educator. I am blessed that he was a colleague and a friend to me. I will miss his smile and laughter. May God bless and keep you always!
