Gone Too Soon

Hi my blog funs!

Its been such a long time, you know I am not used to staying away from my blog for long.lol
I was in my hometown over the weekend to bid farewell to a beloved relative.
In fact there was no way I could stay away from this funeral, in fact if I had my own way, lol, I would have brought back this lady to life. But you know the good book says in Isaiah 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thought, neither are your ways my way".

cloth to be buried with her
Folks, this lady lost her 20 year old son to death, barely 11 months later, the second one just after completing his secondary education followed suit. This lady had to pull herself together to carry on with life with her husband and 10 year old boy. As if that was not enough, on 18th August, 2011, death knocked on this lady's door, after several knocks without response, entered the room forcefully and snatched this pretty young woman away without allowing her bid her 10 year old son and husband farewell.

Lol, I faithfully refused to believe what had befallen this lady till I saw her motionless and lifeless body laid in state. In fact I woke up to reality when all efforts to wake up a sleeping mother had proved futile. WHY? I kept asking myself, could death be that wicked, but I consoled myself in the fact that we shall meet again someday somewhere in Paradise.

Deputy Minister writes Letter to Late President Atta Mills

Dear Sir, In adding my voice to the numerous befitting tributes occasioned by your untimely departure from this ‘terra firma’, I evoked this Roman Catholic prayer for the dead translated from Latin into English as: “May the angels take you into Paradise, may the martyrs welcome you on your way and lead you into the Holy City Jerusalem. May the choir of angels welcome you, and with Lazarus who once was poor, may you have everlasting rest.” I am convinced Jehovah heard and answered our prayers. Please prepare a place for us; for here is still hot and the unreasonableness and the political chicanery continues unabated. Sometimes I wonder whether this whole calling – politics, is worth it. Prof., for the purpose of this first letter I will not bore you with too voluminous a piece because I am aware you are a fresher (‘homo’) who has just joined the Dr Hilla Limanns, Munufies, the D.F. Annans, the Ala Adjeteys, the B.J. Da Rochas and many others who went long before you, so you must be ...
