NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN; A TRIBUTE TO GUGU

There are people whose dance steps on the stage of life shall never be washed away by the ocean of time and even when they are gone, generations they left behind never cease to sing of their legends and will never go bankrupt of the goodwill they left behind. Gugu, you are one of them.

You lived a good life Gugu, one full of dedication, patience and love. You lived on the side of God and justice and never hesitated to rebuke wickedness and injustice from any quarter.

The sacrifices you made, the selfless love you showered on everyone that came around, the courage, patience, perseverance and wisdom with which you faced whichever challenge life brought around shaped me into the man I have become.

You taught us to be fearless, to love, to believe solely in God, to never back down for any challenge and to always keep our heads up even when the chips are down. You did not just tell us what to do, you showed us how it’s done. You never gave up even to the end of the journey.

You were a guiding light for us and a mother to all who came around you. That was why we all called you Gugu. You were the rainbow in the storms of our lives, the evening beam that smiled the clouds away and tinted the future with prophetic rays.

Now you are gone, who are we to question God? Maybe Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 was right when it reminisced on the fact that “for everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the Sun.”

It is with a heavy heart that I say, we miss you Grandma, rest on with Jesus till we meet at the chambers of glory.

                                                                                 Adieu Gugu!

                                                                                Adieu Nwanyioma!!

                                                                                Goodbye Grandma!!!

                                                                                Never to be forgotten
