FROM FORTUNE DZISSAH Awooo, Awooo, Awooo!! T he pain of your passing is a heavy weight carried by our entire family. My heart breaks as I look back on the moments that defined our connection starting from the day you took me into your home at Teshie-Nungua Estate, promising to bring my younger brother, Kwasi Addo, to join us. You created a world for us where I felt chosen and loved. I find myself smiling through the tears when I remember our private jokes. I can still hear you playfully asking, “Which language should we speak when the whites are around?” It was our own little secret code, a spark of your wit that I will cherish forever. Now that you are gone, I am left wondering who will ask me those questions again. You had such big dreams for me, even planning to send me to catering school. But the truth is, Auntie, I didn’t need a classroom; I learned every skill and every secret of the kitchen just by watching you. You were my greatest teacher, and every meal I cook is a tribute to the hands that raised me. Seeing you in the hospital, when you asked me to take you home, I didn’t realize you were preparing for a different kind of journey. I never knew you were leaving us so soon. We love you deeply, but we take comfort in knowing that God loves you more. Rest well, Auntie. You are missed beyond words. TRIBUTE W 47 A Loving Farewell 1934 MRS. OBAA YAA AFRIFA 2025
