For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways says the Lord. – Isaiah 55.8 Maa Mildred (of blessed memory) brought me to the house in 1982 and Daddy accepted me as his own. In fact the whole family took me in as one of their own. Daddy and Maa helped me to further my education and by God's grace I’ve reached where I am today. He was one of the nicest men I have had the pleasure of knowing, He was a gentleman, cool, calm and collected with a sense of humour. He would have done anything for me and Nana. Death has been said to strike like lightning that flashes within the blink of a eye. We all are aware that Death comes to all but we did not expect our dear Daddy to go so soon. Daddy your untimely departure was very unexpected and I wish I could have said bye-bye. I don’t know how to come to terms with the loss of you and Maa within 10 weeks. Our mighty oak tree has been uprooted; your fatherly and advisory role will never be forgotten and your name will forever be in my heart. Daddy your last words with me were “Aborokyirefo [Diasporeans] when are you coming?”. If I had known what was going to happen I would have dropped everything just to see you one more time. It’s a shame that your final bell has rung, Daddy we love you but God loves you more. Nyame Mfa Wo Kra Nsie Asomdwee Mu. [The Lord keep your soul in Peace] Joyce and Nana from London
