Dear Daddy, Happy Father’s Day in Heaven ❤️
This is the first one without you, and it hurts differently.
I remember how me and afriyie would spend so much time going over card after card in Placito for Father’s Day, trying to find the right message every year.
Then in the morning we will call and wish and pray for Him and then at the end try and extort money from him and he will end laughing and tell us the driver will bring us something. And we’d hang up, grinning, knowing our Daddy had us, always.
Daddy I thought if I loved you hard enough and prayed long enough, you would just... stay forever. But this year, heaven didn’t listen. The prayer never came true but God knows best.
Daddy, there is so much to tell you! We just celebrated your 40-day observance, and Agogo was packed, Daddy. Thousands came. I stood there in that massive crowd, looking out at all those faces, and I realized that this was just a fraction of the lives you touched. Just a fraction.
So many people speak about how incredible you were. It’s overwhelming, actually, every single person who knew you, has a beautiful, wonderful word to say about your life and your legacy. And I’ll admit, their beautiful stories and amazing memories have made it easier. You always gave so much, and I wished you could have seen how much the world gave back to you in return.
But Daddy, I miss you. Not the legacy, not the stories—just you.
Because it’s Father’s Day and who will send a driver to bring us something now after praying for you Daddy?
Who would laugh at our prayers and wishes on the phone because he knew the extortion that would come after? Who will I call and know will pick up on the 2nd ring and say yess Adjoa ɛti sɛn? Who will call me Amaniwaah? 💔
I would give anything! anything at all—for one final moment with you. Just five minutes. Just long enough to look you in the eyes and tell you that I’m so incredibly proud to be your daughter. To thank you for the legacy, yes, but mostly to thank you for being my Dad.❤️
Happy Father’s Day, my darling Daddy.
I hope wherever you are, they’re throwing you the celebration you deserve. 🎊
I hope you’re at peace.❤️
Love,
Your little Girl❤️
