“I miss you already. Trying to numb the voices of all the should-haves and could-haves because they don’t matter now. I asked God to make your journey peaceful and joyous. No more pain, no more regrets and guilt. 

I forgive you, Dad. I love you, and I will honor and remember you for ever. Thank you for the time we spent and thank you for being a great Opa to Sophie and Nico. They have memories for a lifetime.
Know that you are loved eternally. Now be free and your Soul full of Joy.
Dr Eric Ofuatey Kodjoe (30.12.38 – 21.4.16)
