I just had the first Xmas without my father and I miss him so much. One thing I knew without doubt was how much he loved me, the slightest good news about me made him so happy and my slightest hurt made him cry (an African man who barely cried). Very recently I got 2 very good news and thoughts of his reaction came to mind ; he’d say "Onyi girl, Ada m nwanyii (my first daughter) I am very proud of you". As much as I miss him so much, one thing I’m very happy about is that there were lots of time in his short stay on earth where I made him say "I am very proud of you" amidst a large grin. Keep resting my dearest father as I continue to make you very proud of me.
