In-Laws: Adelaide
Mummy, it hurts that you could not hold on much longer; I was not expecting to hear this kind of news, especially, at the start of the year 2024, when we had just visited you 2 months earlier and were praying for you to regain your strength and celebrate your 74th birthday this year. Writing this is difficult because it means that you are truly gone. I miss you and thank God for being in my life. I love being part of the Akwesi family and it is one of the many blessings I thank God for. You made me feel so welcome. You showed me sincere, genuine, and true love. I remember the many times you called me ‘asew kɔnɔfo’, prayed and encouraged me, and the many times you called me “me dor” and blessed me. You were in every sense a wonderful, God fearing and loving mother.
Thank you for being there when your grandchildren arrived; your singing, presence, and caring made the difficult moments in our lives easier. It is still difficult for me, mummy. You are a true diamond, and I will always treasure you in my heart.
Rest well Maa!
