Barnabas Fonjie Nkeh - Мемориальный вебсайт онлайн

Pa Banar,

Everything came back fresh in my mind when i was told the last name you mentioned on your dying bed was the name of your uncle late Pa Francis Nki. Such an overwhelming co- incidence. The love you both shared was so strong. He braught you up to be a gentle and loving soul. You two ended up having alot in common. you two shared thesame surname, you two lived life to the fullest and graciously reached old age.
I don't know if i should be sad or happy but all i am certain is that you and Papa are resting in a better place.

Adieu Pa Pele

If persistence could be a noun, that would be your name Pa Nkeh. Born Barnabas but fondly called Pa Nkeh by many. Like yesterday, I remembered Catholic School Kosala. Like Yesterday, I remember the grim facial expression when we cannot remember the answer or solve a math problem right and how quickly that grim expression turns into the broadest beautiful smile displaying impeccable dental formula. Like yesterday, I remember, how I am no longer an elementary student but a matured youth, that went with you to places. Like yesterday, I remember how you shared the story of your youth with us. How difficult life was when you were young, how you took advantage of every opportunty that came your way. Like yesterday, I remember, how you showed appreciation for every thing and how happy you were for the many blessings over the years. Yes. The many blessings over the years. Like yesterday, I remember you breaking barriers abd building bridges... So many yesterdays, I remember....

Today however, I see you standing taller than your full height, though vertically challenged ; that is not evident when your vocal cords utter words of wisdom, caution, feverishly making a point, believing that yes you know what you mean and mean what you know. Today however, I see you expressing your joy, gratitude and showing appreciation for the wonders of technology. Your amazement is evident, facially displayed: squinted eyebrows, forehead contoured, focused and then an explosion of joy in Nweh language. Today, you observe, growing more silent, a little forgetful in short term memory, quickly grabbing and uttering the words before it escapes you. Self satisfaction at remembering what it was.
Today, I see the love more clearly than before. It was always there: in hugs, kisses, smile, laughter, humor, terms of endeament, handshake and farewell. Farewell, Farewell !!! November 2016, you, me and our farewell. Little did I know;  I would have spent a little bit more time with you. A little bit more time to extend our farewell, you me and our farewell. yes you fooled me.

Tomorrow, we shall meet. Surely, where all good souls reside. I will have my hands extended waiting for yours to guide me to me where all good souls reside. I will have handy some stories for us to sit and reminisce. The story of things not forgotten. I love you Pa Nkeh. Baptized Barnabas. In peace you repose. In our hearts you live on.
Adieu Papa.
Mami Lu.
