A TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF MY LOVING GRANDPA
It is so heartbreaking that my Grandpa is gone and I will never see him again, just like my Mummy.
My Grandpa used to visit us in America when I was a baby but the one I remember most is how he carried me at my Mummy’s funeral. That is when we got very close and he bought me toys, keyboard, spiderman and so many goodies.
When my G-Mummy brought me back to Nigeria after my Mummy’s funeral, anytime my Grandpa travelled he would buy me clothes, shoes and was always paying my school fees. G-mummy always says I should study hard so I can make my Grandpa happy because my school is very expensive.
My Grandpa always came with Aunty Funmi to visit me in Lagos, I was always so happy to see them and I would scream and jump in excitement. I looked forward to those visits but now my Grandpa cannot visit me anymore. I am so sad.
I had a wonderful time with my Grandpa, Aunty Funmi and my Uncles when I went to spend time in Abuja.
Sunday was our phone call day and I always looked forward to talking with Grandpa and Aunty Funmi, they would ask me to drop my phone and call me back so I don’t use up all my credit.
My Grandpa was excited when I told him I wanted to be a pilot. He told me he would teach me how to fly and now he is gone…
I will be a pilot to make my Grandpa and my Mummy proud of me even though it will not be the same without my Grandpa.
Thank you Grandpa for all you did for me after my Mummy died, I miss you everyday.
Anytime I want to cry, G mummy says that you are with my Mummy and telling her about me.
Is it true? Have you seen my mummy?
I love you Grandpa and miss you.
REST IN PEACE GRANDPA.
