Ndidi 8th March 2018

I only wish to remember you just as Ik, for that was what I called you. Full of life, very generous and always making plans for the future. You spent your entire adult life working for the benefit of others that you forgot yourself. When you finally decided to think of your future, you collapsed from the heavy weight on your shoulders. You sacrificed your life in full service to humanity, you gave everything. Who would believe that you would leave us so soon? I bet you will be up there smiling at the irony of life and thinking 'wait a minute I still have a lot to do, c'mmon this can't be all I came for', you are not alone, I still can't believe you are gone. I wake up everyday thinking wow is this real? All those retirement plans with my sister, where have they gone Ik? How does one even begin to deal with a death of this magnitude? We are hurting, believe me. Thanks for reminding me that we are mere mortals and that death is an integral part of life. Please look after yourself knowing you are in a better place now.
