Hey Pet sister,
I know it’s been a year already since I last wrote to you. That does not mean I stopped thinking about you. It has never been about finding the time to write to you. Let’s just say it’s about gathering the courage to write without having to cry. I have still not gotten over loosing you , non of us can. For me, it still feels like it just happened. Time doesn’t make any difference in my opinion. Still hurts as much ,I’m still angry; sometimes in denial, sometimes I forget you are gone . We are still taking each day at a time. Still waiting to experience the healing that everyone says happens with time. I don’t know if I will ever get there.
How is it in Heaven? How is life with Mom and Dad in Heaven ? Have you seen our grandparents Maame and Paapa too ??? How about Wofa Kojo ? Is life in Heaven as we read in the Bible ? Are the streets made of gold ? I’m sure you have a new body too just as the Bible promises; no more pain, must be nice .
Since it’s been a year already since I last wrote to you, here are a few updates I need to tell you about .
Last year December the Northern Sector branch of Friends of NICU– The Charity Organization I founded, went to donate to Atebubu and the Southern Sector went to Winneba General Hospital . It was a great donation.In the evening after the donation, someone broke into the house through the windows and took three phones away. When I woke up to the opened window, I just knew your phone was gone too.
For so long I held on to it as one part of you that I had left ; only to have that taken away from me . I was broken all over again, but I’m still here surviving it . I keep on calling your number with the hope that one day it might ring again.
Pomaa my favorite cousin got married in December of 2025. It was so beautiful. We all were bridesmaids for the traditional wedding. I was a maid of honor for the white wedding and that was beautiful too. Wofa Paul , your favorite uncle passed a week after the wedding. It was tough for all of us especially Pomaa our cousin. She had not even settled after her wedding and now she was hit with planning her dad’s funeral.. But like they say, God knows best right ? Have you already seen Wofa Paul too ?
Remember you were supposed to go see AP to help her out because that is what we always do; always there for each other. That could not happen because you were taken away from us untimely. MS was able to make that happen. She spent six months with AP. It helped a great deal, but she is back home and we are also happy to have her back.
KG is in college now . And we all are proud of the man he has become . He has achieved a lot for his age, we couldn’t be prouder. He is so independent and oh we still argue about who he took after . I always win that argument because I silence MS and MD with the fact that I’m the only one out of all the sisters who holds an MBA; and that always ends the argument.
Did you know D- Family moved to a new house ? It’s pretty cool. Not alot has changed from my side. I still work for the same company and this is my 11th year. Started a cleaning company with my work bestie NYA; it has been a bit slow because she had a baby who is so handsome and so juggling work, motherhood and running a business is pretty hard; but we are not giving up . I went back to shipping from China again. I stock women’s bags that promises affordable luxury.
All your nephews and nieces are growing so fast. EAAG and MEAG still talk about you . Sometimes MEAG says, “I’m eating this one for Mama Agyeiwaa “ That always warms my heart.
EAAG is headed to Grade 3 already. EAAD is headed for Grade 2 and MEAG is headed for Grade 1. EED is off to Grade 10 while JNDA is headed to the 4th grade . This should make you laugh. You already know we have 2 footballers in the family and I’m serious about learning about football administration just so I can be their manager.
Talking about football, my team Leeds United made it back to the Premier League and survived the season. World Cup is still underway and it has been full of surprises with some scandals . Some debutants made everyone fall in love with the game. Cape Verde and Curaçao did amazing. As always, Ghana Black Stars never seizes to disappoint. We were eliminated at the round of 32. All the African countries are being knocked out one after the other; Morocco is the only one left . As to whether they consider themselves Africans or not is a discussion for another day.
On a lighter note, now AI is taking over the world. By sending a prompt you can create anything or ask any question. I’m sure I would have been so stressed by you about generating pictures for you from Gemini if you were still here . Only God knows what I will give to have you stress me like that again. Look what I made for you with Gemini.
I know how you are with learning new things . You are not different from VA. You both will always say “what is your use if we learn about every new technology?” Currently Fruits and Vegetables are “human beings” too. We have “Applelina” and “Applelito”. (Female Apple and Male Apple) There is “Jollofina” “Waakyelina” and “Bankunito”. I will show you a picture.
South Africans have intensified the Xenophobic attacks which led to the repatriation of so many Ghanaians and other African citizens. Accra recently experienced heavy flooding. Thankfully non of us was affected. But it has been hard on most people.
The girls’ nanny BN left on 7th March 2026 on a short notice. She told me she found a new job on Sunday 1st of March and she left on Saturday. Your girls really loved her and she did too. She worked for 2 years with us and I can say she served well. The notice she gave was short yes; but life is hard especially without you here so we had to suck it up and adjust.
I found a replacement shortly after but, she was fired after less than 3 months. I will gist you the details someday . Long story short, apart from the fact that she treated the girls poorly she didn’t respect either. Just last week, I chanced upon her TikTok videos and I was in shock. She recorded her videos in my bedroom. She sat on my bed for some of her videos. She even wore my wig as well. I only found out after I had fired her . Maybe she even wore some of my clothes but has not posted those videos yet. To think that when we are home, she acts like an angel. If I show you her Tiktok videos, I’m sure you will be shocked too.
There is a lot more I need to gist you about. Our brother is a dad now and so the family is growing. Your nephew is called OYOA.
Before I continue, I need you to do me a favor; can you ask if the rules regarding Heaven’s visiting hours have changed . If the answer is yes, I can come over and then we can continue to gist all day because I cannot put everything in this one letter .
I will be waiting to hear from you. Until then, I hope you get to eat your favorite food today. I hope they sing happy birthday for you in Heaven. I hope you have the best day ever in Heaven. I wish they will organize a party for you today; 45 is a Big Deal.
Happy Birthday to you Pet Sister.
I love you very much and I miss you a lot.
