TRIBUTE TO MY OWN DAD❤️❤️ THE ORIGINAL GIRL DAD

It’s hard to put in writing what you represent because it’s more than words express or written down.

Today I honour God for the life of impact, vision, wisdom well lived.
Though you lived a long quality life, the thoughts of not speaking to you nor seeing you anymore is hard to bear.

You modelled to me fatherhood in Love, in-depth character, strength, discipline and with courage.

When it was unpopular to send girls to school, you defiled the norms and choose to open us to a new world of learning because you believed that education will open us up to dream beyond and imagine greater possibilities.

You were the epitome of deep character, never moved by things around you but contended with yourself and never place a demand on any of your children.
A kind hearted man who cares deeply for his family as well as his extended family, the church and his community.
