As I sat down to write this tribute, the memories came rushing back — of a woman whose quiet strength shaped everything I know about love, sacrifice, and what it means to keep going.
You came into this world and transformed every life you touched — a daughter who became a mother, and a mother who became everything to all of us.
I experienced a devastating shock effect the day you took your last breath — the kind of shock that tells you a great tree has fallen, and the shade it gave can never be replaced.
The death of my mother shouldn't have come as a surprise — she had lived so fully, so generously, for so long. And yet nothing prepares you for the silence a mother leaves behind.
In loving memory of my dear Mother-in-law, Ezinne Margaret Nebechi Nwomeh — a woman who welcomed me into her family with a warmth I will carry for the rest of my life.
On that fateful night on 27th February, the world as I knew it changed — and the woman who had anchored it for as long as I could remember was gone.
