Tribute to my beloved Mother - Sister Enewan Davis Akpan

Tribute to my beloved Mother

Mma, My heart desire was to be with you and share all those loving memories we have had together. You were more than a mother… you were friend, a confidant and someone who gave me courage whenever I needed it.

I still remember those good old days when you use to tease me with you loving words of encouragement and I miss the sound of your voice whenever you call me by these names “Ekpedeme… Eyen Ima Mmi” and “Udeme Obong Mmi”.

You often say to me, “You are one in a million – Eyen Kiet Ebed Eka Inwang” and this make me see how important, to the world I was.

Mother, I wish I could hold you back but you have gone, and our heart is heavy and here I stand now… being robbed of the one person I cherish most by DEATH But according to the scripture, Eccl. 3 vs 1-2, To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven, Time to be born and a time to die…

I will miss those twinkles that sparks life in your eyes whenever you smile and the comfort I feel from those beautiful songs and hymns you used to sing when we were together.

But Most of all, I miss your LOVE and It is for this reason that many are gathered here today because your life became the source of comfort to all who knew you.

Mma, I am not here to wish you farewell or say good bye for we have not lost HEART yet because we will see you again on that glorious day when all the saints shall be assembled in the heavens.

I wish you eternal rest.

Mma Esiereoo, Tutu Ke Usiere Ukot Owo,

Your Beloved Daughter

Ekpedeme/Udeme-Obong-Mmi
