“Maama Chime”!! as I fondly called her.

Since the day of Ezinne’s passing, I’ve not found my words yet to describe her, Not because I lack what to say, but because I have no idea where to start from. Maama Chime was the most educated (I know this because she thought me how to read and write), stylish (She dresses like it is her traditional marriage every time!), eloquent, compassionate and most of all ‘God fearing’ Grandma that I know. Her love for God and prayer I’ll say is one of the reasons we are still ONE BIG FAMILY in love and in Christ.

Ezinne often forgets that she was old, she always wanted do things her age wouldn’t permit. She wanted to cook and feed everyone, wash her clothes, clean up after herself and nurse her grand/great, grand children. I recall in 2019 when my daughter was born, mama visited and requested that we setup the room so she could bath her. It was funny that she actually meant it, at the time mama was “93 years”!!!

“Maama Chime” wrote me letters, called often to just checkup and pray for me. God used her in so many instances to guide and direct me towards the right path. I recall after my NYSC in Abuja and still job hunting, mama asked me about my relationship. When I admitted that I had no one at the time and in her wisdom she told me; “Davy try to find someone because it’s easier to find a person who wants to be with you when you have nothing than when you’re established”. I took wisdom from Mama’s advice and that was when I met my wife.

My heart has so much to say, so many memories to share but it cannot all be contained in few words. You are so loved and will be dearly missed Grandma, Go home and rest as we pickup from where you left off.
