Papa.... Thank you for being a pillar, strong support system, adviser, teacher, mentor, friend, sponsor and everything I could ask in a father and man
Your exemplary life, values, wisdom, wealth of experience( including monetary) and beliefs are a compass for me and my siblings to continue following and for generations to come
I am sorry for those times I proved stubborn, deep down I could have never asked for another father
Papa, I am still in shock...So no one to call my name proudly and announce to the world this is my last child
You won't laugh at my dry jokes anymore, you won't scold me anymore for putting too pepper in my food, you won't sing with me anymore, you won't be readily available 247 to pick up my calls... so you won't
I won't start listing all you have done and what you have not done, but you will always hold a special place in my heart
Thank you for being a present father in every affair of my life, you were so full of life, hope and optimism and never accepted defeat for any moment
If I could turn the hands of time, I would ask God to have kept you a little longer but we know all things work together for our good.
I am rest assured that you are dinning with the LORD at his table, enjoying the songs of the angels. Sleep well, PAPA
-Your daughter, Akporididi 'Duruduru' Uyeh
