Grandchildren: Narkie

When we called you Grandma, you responded ‘midᴐ’, meaning my love. Your death is indeed a great loss to the family. Every time mommy prepared food and asked me to bring some to you, you will always say, ‘tell mommy I say a very big thank you’.

One thing I will always remember Grandma for is that when you asked her a question, she will answer and explain further. This made me learn a lot of special and new things. Such a great teacher she was.

I wish you were here with us. I really miss helping you dry your towel in the morning and you always saying, ‘thank you, God bless you’, with a smile on your face. I will after help you descend the stairs. You will then go outside, where you will sit in your resting chair to take some fresh air and interact with passersby.

Grandma, on that Wednesday, I wanted to come and sing to you a special song I had learnt at school. As soon as I entered the house, I saw a canopy mounted in the house, with a lot of people with sad faces wearing black and sitting under the canopy. This was something very unusual. I greeted the people and went to my mother to find out what was going on, only to be told that Grandma had passed away. Since then, the word ‘midᴐ’ has been missing from the house. I promise to be a God-fearing and kindhearted person that you were. May your soul find eternal rest with your maker.
