Tribute To M.A Ukpeh

Death, I'll never know what it is, I'll never understand it. I may spend all my years on earth trying to figure out why people have to lose their loved ones.
Grandma, I must have known that someday I would have to write this eulogy. I didn't think it would be this difficult. There are so many things to say but I don't know how to say them. I suddenly feel like I have writers block.
Perhaps, I thought you would live forever. The stark reality that I will never see you again in this world. I will never again say to my parents '' Nka Mbonu'' or to my cousins ''Are you coming to Mbonu?'' There will be no Mbonu to go to. It will be quite lonely without you. I can't even imagine passing on your street knowing I can not stop by because you don't live there anymore.
Everyday I have spent with you since we were babies has always been a privilege.
My Grandmother, Beautiful, Organized, Unique, Helpful, Loving, Kind, Funny,Smart, Stately, always the first to call me on my birthday. I am proud to show you off to my friends. Did I mention GORGEOUS?
Your courage and strength leaves a legacy of inspiration to all. I am inspired by the life you lived and the example you have set for us all.
NO, you are not dead, you just passed on from my world to a nicer place.Of course, I will see you again.
Thank you for all the love.
Forever in my heart,
Ekababy.

Tribute to Professor Chinua Achebe

A few days after you're gone, your name is on everyone's lips. I see your pictures everywhere, in papers, magazines, on the internet. Everybody has a story or something to say about you. I can only say that you were a great African voice, inspiring many generations across the continent. I remember reading 'Chike and the River' and 'Things Fall Apart' at about age 12. I liked those books. I do wish I could have had the honour of meeting you. You are indeed a legend, Rest in Peace Sir.

Angels and Fairies

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we humans could see fairies or beings? Would you be scared if you saw one? Do you think they exist? I remember lying in bed one night and this really bright light flashed across my face several times. I couldn't think what it was. I could only wonder if there was an angel there or something. I do believe fairies exist and probably show themselves to the innocent like babies or animals. One time I tried to be real quiet and calm just to see if one would show up but I panicked. I don't think I could deal with seeing one. I would be too scared. My little cousin says she can see them and I do believe her! Do tell me when and if you see one.

*sigh* Its been ages!!!! I'm sorry guys, I've been so busy and I haven't come up with anything creative just yet. We're already 3 months into the year. I think March is my favourite month, dunno why. I should try and be here more often. I do hope y'all haven't forgotten your resolutions. I didn't make any, trying to live one day at a time and be good to everyone. Say hello to a child today and share a smile :) Remain Fabulous xoxoxo
