Tribute from Daughter in Law Today does not feel real; a life where you are no longer physically present with us. Like the sun, you illuminated our lives with your very presence, and now that you are not here, nothing feels the same anymore. Julie Hebert famously said “may there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.” I cling on to these words in this very moment. “Sweet Mummy” as I affectionately called you, words cannot describe how much of a loss your absence is to me. I recall the very first time we met in 2008, at church. I can say without an iota of doubt or reservation that meeting you was a pivotal moment in my life. You took me under your wing as a daughter. You nurtured and guided me through various phases of life you were like a mother, a friend and a mentor. Ten years after we first met, you opened the door to love and marital bliss by introducing me to your son. I can never forget how good you’ve been to me. I cherish and miss the early morning calls to pray, the jokes and laughter we share each day, and how you end every call by saying “ Aunty Adwoa me pa wo ky3w, k) do hw3 Steffy na mboframba no h)n do yie ma me atse” What stands out the most is how vested you were in the lives of your grandchildren, myself and your son. This is something that marks you out as an outstanding matriarch. Sweet mummy, you left too soon. Even though you are not here with us anymore, each day I wake up, I share fond memories of you; how you advise us, how you dance, and how you care so much for everyone. Sweet Mummy, you were my pillar in times of trouble and uncertainty. The world does not know the battles we fought together, and how your prayerful and calm disposition always helped me go through various crises. Now that you are not here, I wonder how I will cope, but I pray that such times will be a thing of the past. Your grandkids miss you dearly; they miss how you make them smile, how you shop for them and surprise them at every birthday and milestone in their life. You were ever present, and even now, I know that you are watching over them with the angels from above. You have been an incredible pillar in our lives, and I want you to know that all your efforts will not be in vain. We shall carry on with your legacy, and your name and deeds shall live on. We shall strive to replicate your good deeds in the lives of those around us, far and near. I love you dearly, and I miss you so much. Words are not enough to describe the gap that has been created, but I know that the Good Lord has called you home now, for it is time to rest. So mama, I say rest, rest, and rest well. We love you.
