“Trying to fight back tears today as I remember how you took your last breath in my arms this day, 10 years ago. The downpour that Wednesday morning was not to be compared to the years my eyes and heart shed. But it was a sign to me that the heavens had welcomed you.
“It still hurts but not as much because the pain has become a part of me and more so a major part of my adulthood. I am still struggling to fill the shoes you left for me even as I try to navigate life as a mother too.
“I will never stop wishing that you would be here with me but I am also grateful for the light that you continue to shine down on us. Your memories are ever fresh in my heart even as I constantly draw strength from them.
“Mother’s Day and your birthdays and the day you left us are always the hardest for me. But then again I see your smile and perseverance in Ogechukwu. Your wit in Tochukwu, your stubbornness, and drama in Ifeyimwa and Chigozie and they constantly warm my heart. You are still there with us Nma.
“I MISS YOU SO MUCH. WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH! You have more grandchildren now and your Husband is keeping on well. Continue to rest in peace Mama Onyebuchi. I love you Forever.”
