When Job exclaimed, “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me”, I never fully understood what he meant but not fully understanding it have not absolved me from making the same statement which Job himself made.

I grew up to be a man with less expectations from another, a man who looks up to God for blessings and favor but never failing to acknowledge the indispensability of mankind in the scheme of things.

I have seen the color of real sacrifice as exhibited by Jesus Christ, so also have I seen sacrifice exhibited by my father. For some reason, at a point, my greatest fear in life became the thought of losing him.

My father exhibits great wisdom, peace and good judgment. He made me. Speaking with my dad at any point in time gives me energy, zeal and renewal.

My father is the inspiration behind the books I published years ago under my pen name, Cas David (under the ‘From my father’s series’) , The books are titled, “The mystery of youthfulness’ and ‘Keys to a Youth’s bright future’ because right from my childhood, my teenage years and into adulthood, I have gotten nothing less than love, care, good admonition and guidance from my Dad.


Having a dad like mine is a one of my greatest blessings on earth.

I am privileged to have a father whose name is better than silver and gold.

As a boarding student in secondary, visiting days was always last Saturday of every month but all my JSSI days, my dad visited me every week. My dad loved me even before I could interpret what love is.

Oh…how badly I needed a centenarian dad, but life right here is unfair.

I spoke with my Dad on the 8th Of June, as usual he sounds strong and I ask, “Ama m na ahu siri gi ike?” and he replies, “Yes oo, aputala m taa, Jehova bu eze.”

That response is always like a tonic to my day. I always feel energized and motivated knowing that my greatest person on earth is alive and well.

But then on the 10th of June, I suddenly get a call that my dad is being rushed to the hospital because he is unconscious (though breathing).

He gets to the hospital, doctor attends to him. It looked like there was hope because his breathing stabilized then, the worst happened. I lost my Dad.

I was broken, I am still broken and I will be fine but never to the point of forgetting the man who gave me a piece of himself; a piece which was enough to make me a man.

I will keep up your precepts and admonition Dad, I will keep working to be a better man. I believe you will go to heaven because your life was devoid of hate, envy, avarice, jealousy and pride.

I am pained; I mean I am in my 30s and too young to lose my Dad
.
I don’t know if I could have done anything differently. But then it is what it is.

Take a bow Dad.

Rest in Power.

I love you.

Sorry Sir for your loss

Accept my condolences. God be with you

RIP

My elders will say..oma nwuzi ozo meaning koni ku mo..

E nor fit die again

My condolences !




Death hurts.

My condolences to you and your family!

Sorry for your loss!

I lost my dad 2 years ago, my mum 4 years ago!

Suddenly, everyone is looking up to me! No parent to look up to!

My daughter cried yesterday and I asked her why, she said she remembered her grand pa.

The tears will never go away. But one day, we too, shall taste death!

Hope you are preparing for that final resting place,? and you are leaving behind a great legacy just like your papa?

Be strong op
