My dear Uwera,
You had always been everything for everyone and the pedestal we put you on was where you belonged
But never did I think the universe would take that perspective literally and take you away from us, take you to a place where you’d watch over us from there not here side by side,
And even with these oceans and sunsets between us there’s nobody I am closer to than you.
If I say you are everything to me it’s going to echo left and right in different voices .
You had that same effect in every life you were present in.
The light you shone into every door you entered was just like the sun.
Your big heart and your zeal for life is why so many gravitated to you
The footprints you left behind have me in awe and for every ray of light that hit me and mine, I am grateful.
God took you away.
He tore you away from me before I could tell you how proud you make me and how much I love you
He tore you away from me before I could walk you down the aisle
He tore you away from me before I could hold you ten thousand more times
He tore you away from me before I could watch you be a mother
He tore you away from me before I could you show in extremes what a joy it was to be your mother.
God took you away
But before he did he blessed me immensely with you.
You are the best daughter a person could ask for and you will always hold a special place in all the hearts you have touched.
The abyss of your absence plunges into me on the days that aren’t better than others
And on the days I bleed symphonies of your memory
Especially on those days
Know that you are my one pride and joy.
