Dear Daddy, it is with a split heart that I heard about the your passing away into eternity. It was the saddest news to me. On that fateful, I stepped out to work as usual but after an hour I returned home and walked straight into my room, and locked myself. The children were surprised that I was backed so soon from work. I had a primonition something awful was to happen but I kept pushing away from my mind the feeling of death. I pushed it to the best of my abilities but God said NO. Then the news came from Akwi at about 1pm "Ni Emma, have you heard what happened to Daddy. He has just died." I was blown out. I lost every sense of living. I went deaf and dumb. Dear Daddy, I will remember you for bringing us up the way you did, and especially me. You taught me some of the values in life: honesty, humility, tolerance, kindness, patience, forgiveness, selflessness, gratitude, fidelity, and how to love and pray to God. You taught me how to accept that I am wrong even if I knew that I am right. This was the most difficult, but I tried in my own little way. I copied and practised some of these values to extremes. I would leave my own things in the name selflessness to attend to other people's issues. But I don't regret these. You taught me to read good and quality books. Two of these impacted me greatly: " How to Win Friends and Influence People" and "The Power of Positive Thinking". We thank God for your life and we pray that your soul finds perfect peace in the Lord Almighty that you served all through your life. (Emmanuel TITA TABI, your first son).
