tribute by

Emmanuel

Beloved mother Afua Dadson, you were
known by many names to people and as
‘Sister’ to all your friends. You were also a
mother to all your children's friends. Mom
your heart and love was pure and can never
be filled or replaced.

My earliest memories of you, Mom, was
when we were in Ghana. You were a
hairstylist then taking care of us when Dad
was away. Since the day you brought me into
this world, I've always seen you work very
hard. When we moved to the States in 1996,
you worked very hard in your profession as a
Homecare Giver which took you to provide
health needs to strangers. I know you were
great at it, because all your patients and their
families became fond of you, loved and
appreciated your services and could never
have enough of you. They all clamored for
your services and raved about how amazing
you were. Mom, I want you to know that my
siblings and I appreciate all the sacrifices you
offered on our behalf and your support for
Dad and we will forever be grateful to you.

For as long as I can remember, I have always
tried to show my Mom that I can take care of
myself and not to worry so much about me,
but that was the wrong perspective and
approach from my end, because she is a

natural caretaker and no matter what I did, I'm always going to be her little boy. I'm always going to hold on
to all the great fun and memories we had together, especially when I got married. My Mom was by my side
in everything by providing funds and resources, time and planning as well. Likewise, I will never forget your
motherly advice and our mother son dance.

I am very grateful for your love towards the children and the family in the past two years including my wife. It
was beautiful seeing you cherish and love my wife as if she was your own child. One thing I would have
cherished was for our baby Isla to see and know the type of woman of strength you were and to have
experienced the showers of love you would have heaved on her. Everyday, I think about the fact that she
wouldn't be held in your arms and that hurts indeed. I realize it is now my responsibility to inform and impart
your wisdom and characteristics you bestowed on me on her, to guide and direct her path in this world. I
hope the world will continue to see the great woman you were in me.

I will for ever love you Mom.
