I completely understand all of those "little things" and I miss them so much. Even as adults, he always made sure to give us some money whenever we were leaving to our various homes. Even when we always refuse,he would plead with us to accept it. Hmmmm. You see, Daddy was a good man. Infact, the best father and grand father there could ever be. Unknowingly to him, he taught me how to live a peaceful marriage. See ehn, the list is just endless. The moment we visited him at the mortuary lifeless, I was completely shattered. He didn't have so much but he gave us EVERYTHING. Why on earth did he have to go?? Sigh, Like they say, God knows best. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.
Gbamest. You got it right, Inem. I understood Uncle's way of loving us through those little things. Am a beneficiary of the groundnuts too even when he spent a few days with us...too numerous to count. Rest in peace, Sir E
I lost my dad February and remember him helping me carry my bag to two different parks just so I could pick a bus to school, I felt he was stopping me from being and adult, now I understand better that it's all Love. "the little things" I still miss you dad❤
Sigh. Nothing can ever prepare us for moments like this. God keep you guys strong. Thank God for fond memories of him. And you can take assurance and peace that you will meet again by God's word. Take care Inem.
Beautiful piece, Inem! I have my bottle of peanuts from my Uncle Mike, which came all the way back to Maryland with us. I made sure it was wrapped up multiple times in clothes so the bottle wouldn’t break during the long flights and stopovers. It’s the “little things” I also remember of my dad. We will miss them everyday on this side of eternity but we have those “little things” to hold onto.
