Grandma Eva Naa Awola, I grieve with a picture of the unconditional love that you showed towards myself and the girls. I grieve with the hope that I will be able to portray or duplicate the peace and love that you showed towards me. I grieve with gratitude for the life, love and legacy as a religious guide. I grieve with the memory of the laughter we always shared whenever we spoke. You always said “ kwer mo ler, ni emor mi” and I always replied “ Hani osorlemormi awa”. (Let your prayers be stronger). We always laughed at that joke. I grieve for all the above and many more especially when you taught me the lesson from the story of Ruth. Ruth 1: 6-13. That brought us even closer. It was an unbelievable revelation and we both understood the lesson and what we needed to do. Thank you for being who you were, the unconditional love despite everything. I remember you once said to me when I lost my mum that “ When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. It hurts deeply to think let alone say ( as I feel it’s untimely ) that I will forever treasure all the laughter and the “ Eiii Granma Naa awola” slogan. Those memories will forever be cherished and truly missed. You have indeed left a big void BUT your bright light will never go out. Olivia xxxxx
