Tribute to Dad

This is probably the hardest thing I've ever been asked to write. Where do I start? God gave us an angel for a daddy. Dad was meticulous in everything he did. He remembered the smallest details (except our birthdays). But we didn't mind. He always found a way to joke about it. Daddy was a funny man. He cracked jokes and his laughter was infectious.  Daddy spoke the truth to whoever. He was not afraid to speak about what he believed. Daddy was proud of us. You could see him beam with pride whenever he introduced us to people.  Daddy didn't spare the rod. Whenever we were wrong he was quick to correct us or even whip us. Immediately after, he would read the bible to explain why he was spanking you. At the time we didn't understand but now that we are older we are thankful.

But most importantly, daddy taught us about God. His life was an excellent example of a godly person. We saw daddy endure pain and never did he complain. With all the needle pricks and medicine he was taking he still found a way to joke about it.

 Daddy you have left us with so many questions but no answers. Who will answer Muleya's numerous questions? As Muleya would say "I'll ask daddy, daddy knows everything.” Who will pick us up, drive us to wherever we want to go? Because with daddy, anything we wanted, daddy would oblige. After all we were his babies.

Daddy you've left a huge gap that only God can fill. We can only imagine the smile on your face when the Lord said welcome good and faithful servant. You are now singing heartily like you always did. We are glad that you are now resting, free from pain. We can confidently say you ran your race and fought the good fight. We will be here for mummy. We will hold her hand and be strong like you taught us. Go well daddy, farewell our friend. We miss you.
