YOU LEFT US ONE YEAR AGO

April 22, 2012 By 8 Comments

Ogbogu, it was exactly one year ago that you left us. We went to your grave yesterday and it was a bit sad. We were all there. Of course, your beautiful wife, Agnes, was there with your four lovely children. Your children are growing up so fast. Neville is such an intelligent young man.  Angel is growing is growing up to be such be such a beautiful young girl. She has your face. The little ones, Neugent and Allethea, are getting so big. I see you in all of them.

Mom cried, but she is always strong. Dad on the other hand was a mess. He cried the way he did when we first lost you, one year ago. I worry about him. Maduka misses you and cried too. Agnes and the kids shed tears, but were strong. I was sad because I miss you. I had such plans for us, but they were all cut short. I still sometimes forget that you are gone. I started writing this blog because of you. I had to find a way to deal with the loss of you and sharing my feelings by writing, helped me get through the pain. I didn’t cry yesterday. I’m sure why I didn’t cry. Maybe because I’ve been living with all your pictures and your videos for the past year. I have the cover of your DVD on my work desk and look at you everyday.

I wondered whether there was something wrong with me because I didn’t cry and everybody else did. I watched everybody and thought of you, but the tears didn’t come. Your loss motivated me to speed up the formation of the Champion Spirit Foundation. Hundreds of kids will thrive because of you. I work so hard on the charity because I want to make you proud. We have made such huge strides in Nigeria and I feel that you are watching over us and opening all doors for us.

Today is your day. We are getting ready to go to church this morning for a mass booked for you. We will then return to the grave to spend some more time with you. I’m looking forward to it. It’s been a year, but we all still miss you so very much. Rest well brother. I miss you and love you.

SEPARATION ANXIETY

April 20, 2012 By 3 Comments

I woke up this morning a bit disoriented because for a second, I thought that I was in Nigeria. The cold air that I felt was not from an Air Conditioner, so I knew that I was not in Nigeria. I was in cold and rainy London. I got up as my nephew, Kobe, walked into the room. Kobe will be three years old in May. Kobe always has a big smile on his face, especially in the morning. A big smile is such a good sight to start the day.  He was already showered and ready for nursery school.

Kobe started nursery school a few weeks ago. Maduka and I were rushing to a meeting in Nigeria when we got the phone call that Kobe had started nursery school. It was exciting news. He’s growing up so fast. When I woke up today, I wanted to experience Kobe going to school. It was a nice school. When we walked into the classroom, it was clear that Kobe was a popular kid. A few of the kids came right up to him and said hi. This was Maduka’s first day of taking Kobe to school and Kobe did not want to let go. He cried and cried. I watched him closely. I guess this is what you do as a storyteller, which is what a filmmaker is. I wanted to feel what he was feeling.

A teacher came up to us and tried to cheer him up. It didn’t work. He just wanted his daddy! I don’t have any kids of my own, so I live vicariously through Maduka and Ogbogu. Maduka tried to cheer him up and show him that there were lots of  fun things to do in nursery school, but Kobe was not buying it. He did not want his dad to leave him. We tried to get him to draw using this cool software,  which lets you draw on a huge white board. It was so cool, I wanted to draw on it. We didn’t have all this cool stuff when I was growing up.

Finally, we had to leave him. Even though he was crying, we had to leave him. He cried even louder. Daddy…Dadddddddyyyyyy…Dadddddddddyyyyyyyyyyyy…..But we had to go. It was sad, but this is what growing up is all about. Making the difficult decisions. I guess you never know what it’s like to raise kids until you have your own. I hope that I’ll be a good day when I have my own
