GOODNIGHT DAD
Mr Ulunta Nwabuoke
It was October 24, the harmattan sun was so excruciating the flies are buzzing around a sun roasted mango looking like a barbecue, walking down the street in fatigue; i saw my aunt ran towards me crying looking haggard which made me fastidious but wasn't frightened.
What happened?
I asked?... pondering what could have suddenly changed my beautiful looking aunt like this. Her speechlessness made me perplexed but finally she spoked up “dad gave up the ghost”.
My heart leaped and melted into my bowls, then my breath left me As i wailed😭 “how that the Mighty has fallen” Dad you left when I need you the most but the love you showed me still remains.
What you have done still remains, the Impact of your fatherhood can not be forgotten, the love and union you shared with mom taught me marriage that I desired to be married.
Father you were
my covering
my feather
my ladder
my hero
my Superman who gave me his shoulders to climb to hights I never expected cause you laboured for me to enjoy, kai... dad I missed you😭...
my padi-padi
my best friend
my bag of secret
I can't forget in a hurry how we gossiped mom with our secret language. Your love is better than wine, intoxicate more than strong drink, ohhh.... Crying out loud😭(cot)
Goodnight Dad we love you.
Happy Father's day Dad
