TRIBUTE TO A DEAR FRIEND..........the fallen heroes

Life is full of beauty, Notice it! The smell of rain, the feel of wind, the acts of a child, and the smiling faces we come across everyday. A few are as the fragrance of a flower that spreads only in the direction of the wind, however the goodness of a person spreads in all direction, and such is the kind of life you lived and shared with us all.

Lizzy…. I remember just like yesterday, your smile that glows like the golden rays from the sun piercing through the tall tress and thick branches of a rain forest pouring out not just light alone, but also a new life and hope that bursts upon our hearts in a clear and refreshing manner.

Truly a flower cannot blossom without sunshine, neither can a man live without love. We will forever cherish the beautiful life you lived with us; your amiable and affable personality, attentive and resilient spirit, your courage  and strong determination, a one of exemplary nature.

I wont be quick to forget  all the chats and the calls, the moments and the visits, the short walks and the long journey, your smiles and priceless words. You taught me to live life in humility, treat every man with respect, and the courage to push and have results.

If every friend where like you, the world would be a better place closely Knitted with love and peace. Although you left  way too soon, yet You lived your life touching others. Though you are not here embodied anymore, yet your spirit lives.

Its been post 400 days since you left us, yet your memory lingers on. I can still smell the scent of your fragrance and feel the warmth of your smiles as it fillters through my memory. How time flies, and the thoughts of friends are soon forgotten, except for those who have imprinted their influence on the sand of time.

 

Sadly two other valiant men have fallen: Patrick Andrew (PATO) and Duruoma: Men of laudable character and vigorous passion. It grieves my heart, when young Men/Women are snatched away in the prime of their lives, more so when they strive to be the change we hope to see.

 Rest well my dear friends, school mates and professional colleagues 

 

A TRIBUTE TO LATE NDAKO ELIZABETH (1 JAN 1983-31 JULY 2013).....and all other fallen Heroes
