TRIBUTE TO MY HUSBAND

I have not been  able  to get over the reality of your  demise because I get betrayed by emotion each time I think or reflect about you. My dear, you came into my life to turn things around me and also made the best out of me as your first lady. You were my best and closest friend, the pillar of strength. I married you at my youthful age and now it is only death that has  separated  the wonderful togetherness we had once shared. Your great legacies and  achievements are displayed in the lives of your children. You were kind  and dependable; you treated and showed me so much love and  respect. Your transition to eternity glory has created an irreparable  vacuum in my life and that of your entire family.

                                    TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER

What is the measure of a man  Is it the amount of money he has The possession he owns or the power he hold. It is the possession success he has achieved over the years. All of these are false.  The  true measure of a man is how much  love he gives, how selflessly he shares whatever he can to help others and how he can tolerate others.  Dad was immeasurable, generous, hardworking and also a disciplinarian. He was  the most sincerely autistic person I have ever know  with no attachment of material things. He  was a  god fearing man, I remain  grateful and  comforted  knowing how much my dad positive affected the lives of others. Since death is unpredictable it has  it’s specific time. Dad has overcome, he has finished the race. May his  gentle soul rest in the blossom of the lord. Amen.
