Where do I start? How do I start? It’s hard to come to terms with the reality of your passing. Your death has been a difficult truth for me to accept as an adult.
Mama, you were my everything:
– My go-to person for everything
– My friend
– My advisor
– My gist partner
We laughed together daily, and distance never came between us. You were always close to my heart.
The void I feel since your departure is beyond explanation. I put my trust in the Lord to see me through this difficult time.
You came, you lived, and you conquered many battles in life, just like your name “VICTORIA” suggests – you came out victorious in every situation.
Mama, your life may have been short, but you fulfilled your purpose on Earth. As it pleased our Father in Heaven to call you home, we give Him all the glory for a life well spent.
In Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 (KJV), it says:
“To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die”
And also In
(Ecclesiastes 4:2) it says
And I thought the dead who are already dead more fortunate than the living who are still alive;
Hmmm! Such a consoling verse made me understand that those who are alive should be more worried than those who have passed.
Just like one of your favourite verses in the bible;
(Luke 23:28) But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Mama, I know that if the living can hear and see the dead this will be the exact message to everyone mourning you today.
Your departure made us who are alive today think more about the end of our journey and has given us all the opportunity to adjust our plans and purpose to focus more on what matters at the end which is gaining eternal life.
Just like Paul said in (2 Timothy 4:7) I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!! indeed mama you have finished your course and exited Gloriously.
With this knowledge mama, I bid you farewell, Ezinnem. It’s hard, but I’m consoled that we will meet again on the resurrection morning.
I celebrate you today agben gbo gbo nwa Obochi!
Madam the madam!! I can hear you echo back “It is a matter of cash nwam”
I celebrate you mama because it is written in Ecclesiastes 7:1 (KJV) A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth. You earned a good name mama and
today indeed is more glorious than the day you were born mama Hallelujah!!!
I miss you, Mama.
May your soul find rest and peace, and may the Lord Almighty accept you in His bosom.
Your grandkids have asked me many questions about you, and I trust they will understand better as they grow.
Words fail me.
May God be with you always.
forever in our hearts.
Rest in peace, Mama.
Aduie Aduie Aduie.
Chidimma.
