Ashia Kila.

Imfact Dominic visited me on friday afternoon at y office and we drove home and had lunch together. We spent about 2 hours together and when he left, I offered to drop himm off. He graciously declineed and prefered to take a cab. We stood out of my gate chatting and he hopped into a cab down town as I live up stattion.

I was shocked only to learn on Monday from George Tansinda that Domiiic was hospitalised over the weekend. He certainly didnot look very healthy but I was not expecting hospitalisation. So I called Paulinus who confirmed the information and I drove to Jua hotel and we went to the hospital and met Dominic and his brother.

He was in good spirit and as usual we cracked some few jokes asking him if was tryying to play a fast one on us. He confirmed that seeingg you and his boys would makee him defy anything. Paulinus and myself visited him again a few days latter where I met his eldder brother who owns a hotel in Bamenda and again there was alot of humour that went around. I then traveleed to the south west and on my return Paulinus informed me that Dominic had been evacuated to Mbingo hospital and that things were going on well and that he had visited him there on his way to the village.

You can imagine my shook when George called and a few seconds latter Gloria Jua called to tell me of the sad news. George kind of fricked out as he was not audible and I didnot understand what he was saying.

Kila my heart goes out to you his beloved wife and the kids he loved so very dearly. I can confirm to you as his friend that he loved, cherished and respected you for the marvelous job you did raising those kids of his. He was so proud of his boys and had a photograph of them constantly in his wallet which he will pull out once in a while to admire with such longing and love that the sparkle in his eyes was testimony of special bondage between a father and his children in whom he is well pleased.

Bury your husband in dignity remembering only what is positive as none is perfect. 

God bless.
