"Agu Nnaya, it's been 2Months of your exit from this sinful world and this seat of yours keeps rocking without you on it, I don't even fit in, I don't intend to either cause these shoes are too large you left behind. I would live all my life filled with your memories with each passing day. The only Peace I have is knowing you are in a better place void of pains and sorrows. I'm sure you now see how much I Love you and still Love you, Nnam. Keep resting Easy the EAGLE. You LIVE in me."
