TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED HUSBAND
Chinedum, my beloved husband, it is still hard for me to accept that you are no longer here with us. Every single day I wake up and see the cold empty space where you used to lie, the pain becomes more severe. They say time heals all wounds but with your passing I have come to realize that this is not entirely true. There are some wounds that time won't heal. This will instead teach us how to live with it.
Daddy, as i fondly call you, I will learn over time how to live with this pain. I will learn to put on a smile and say I am okay when I am asked how I am doing but deep inside me I know I am not okay .
My husband was one of the kindest man I have ever come across in this life, a loving, peaceful, humble, honest, hardworking, generous giver, truthful and most importantly God fearing man. He put God first in everything he do. He always find it difficult to say No to any request. A man that cannot eat without considering if the next person has eaten. Anyone that has come in contact with you knows that you don't joke with your family. You hate oppression and all forms of injustice, you must speak against it no matter who is involved. Highly intelligent and brave man and always devoted to his work.
You have thought me so many things in life that will hold me through this difficult moment of my life. You always told me to calm down that everything will fall in place.
You pursue your dream career as safety Engineer in a strange land until you're at the zenith of it, that is when death strike. Why at this time during your life when you had everything to live for, death decide to choose you and come knocking on your door.
On that faithful day 3th of August 2024, we came back from church, you start changing your clothes to sports wear and you told me that you are going for football match. I begged you to rest for today, we just came back from church and you accepted, not until you call someone on phone and the person told you that match is about to start, immediately you jumped up again rushed and wore your butt and say bye mummy, see you in next one hour. Little do I know is the last time I will see you. In less than an hour, my phone ranged that I should come immediately to emergency that my husband fell . I quickly rushed and saw team of doctors trying to resuscitate you and saw many brethren praying in different locations. I was confused because i thought is a minor fracture or dislocation not knowing that the devil has done his worst. Doctor's did their best and we prayed and prayed but it pleases God to call you home.
It is said that what is important is not how long a life is lived but how well. Chinedum lived well. We just Celebrated our 9 years anniversary, it's just 9 years but quality 9 years of togetherness with love. You may not live long but you lived well. Within this short period of your life you've impacted your generation positively. The legacy you left behind will continue to speak for you.
My love, as it pleases the Lord to take you from this life at this moment in time, I cannot question him. I and your lovely kids can only hold on to the hope that you are in a better place far better than this earth could ever be...
I trust you are resting in bossom of the Lord.
You're truly irreplaceable
I dearly treasure all my memories with you.
JEE NKE OMA DADDY
ADIEU MY LOVE
