FROM MAAME LUCY Hmmm, how I do start writing this? Obaa Yaa, Maa, Aunty Obaa Yaa,Daavi, what do I write? You told me that Awo I am going to the hospital oo, I’ll buy you pastries when I’m coming back. I was at work when Small Kojo called be that you have been admitted. Obaa Yaa why will you go to the hospital and not come back home? What happened to the plans we had? Who will give me away? Who will coddle me? Who will tell me “Awo I am going out today pray I find a husband for you?” You always say I will find a job for you , just give me time, Obaa Yaa, you did not have time, What will I do now? How do I go about my life without you in it? You have left a deep scar in my heart, there is nothing time can do to make me heal or even forget you. You always write tributes for people and have me proof read it. Now here I am writing yours with soo much emotion Obaa Yaa, please come back just for my sake, come and let us spend some time together. Your medication is ready oo Daavi, i have them. I long to hear your voice, just to see you , just to hear your stories about your days with your Italian Seniora and how she taught you to be different. You always had a lasting impression on people, there is aIways something to remember you by. I could write a book about you and it still wouldn’t be enough words to bid you farewell. These past months have never been the same without you. Everything I do lately reminds me so much of how much I’d been attached to you without even realizing it. You always say Awo when I die don’t cry and I will immediately tell you not to say such things to me. “ Maame I have never seen you cry”, you would usually say to me. If only you could see me now , Obaa Yaa I am crying, I am bawling Obaa Yaa, so wake up and laugh or even shout at me to stop crying. Obaa yaa I will forever miss you. I know you are at peace now and thank you for all that you have done for me and my brothers !! Greet my father Big Joe for me. Damifra Due Obaa Yaa! Xedenue. TRIBUTE W 29 A Loving Farewell 1934 MRS. OBAA YAA AFRIFA 2025
