In-Laws: Madeline

In life, we are privileged to cross paths with many souls, but only a few leave with their footprint on our hearts.

Mama, God brought us together in 1990 when I first came to Cape Coast. You welcomed me into your home with open arms and love. You took on the role of both mother and big sister. Your simplicity made it very easy for me to approach you for a good laugh or wise counsel. Whenever I came to you with anything big or small, you would affectionately say ‘Me dor’ and give me your full attention. The way you always listened attentively made me feel heard. You would always encourage me to pray and trust God’s intervention. You didn’t just listen to me, but you shared my pain. Mama, I will always be grateful for that!

You took your role as a mother very seriously, and it showed in many ways. I am comforted by the memories we shared. Every warm welcome, every gentle conversation, and every encounter that ended with your bold laughter will be cherished for a lifetime. I know your work here is done now. You lived a full life. The God whose hands formed you and brought you out of your mother’s womb to fulfil His purpose here on earth has called you to rest from your labour.
