🕯️ 🪦
Today, my heart is heavier than I can put into words. I lost a brother, a friend, and the very first person who ever helped me secure a job after university. Marc was one of the few people who genuinely wanted to see me succeed and excel in life. He was more than a big brother, he was family in every way that mattered.
During my university days, I would always come home for semester breaks at his place in Douala. Even when he was struggling himself, he made sure I never went to bed hungry. Whenever I was heading back to school, he would give me some money and a few T-shirts, saying with that familiar smile, “YOU DEY NA UNIVERSITY BOY, U SUPPOSED DI COMOT LIKE BIG BOY.” Those gestures, simple as they were, carried a lifetime of care and love.
It is a bitter pill to write these words, knowing he will never read them. We tried everything to help him get well, but sometimes, even our best is not enough.
Rest in peace, Marc. May you find peace in the Lord, and may your soul rest eternally. You will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and eternally loved.
Though the world never gave you a place to stay for long, I believe God will gladly welcome you into His eternal kingdom. Sadly, your story has come to an end without leaving behind anyone to call a child. 😢
Painfully, I now think that sometimes having a child, even when you’re not ready or prepared, makes sense. 💔🤦🏾♂️
