You would always tell me, ‘Mummy, chimburuoma, you see this life, I no dey rush am.’ You always emphasized how hard work would pay off. So, that Wednesday when I held you, you didn’t tell me it would be the last time.
“On that very Wednesday, we talked about your admission. I congratulated you and welcomed you to Unique UNIPORT. You shared your plans and how you were going to focus on your studies. After our discussion, you tapped my back and said, ‘Mummy chi later na.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ The plan was to make Mama and Papa proud. You always told me that success and better days were ahead. Why did you have to go so soon?”
