A Tribute to Mumin Ritamoe Ekuam

 

Today marks one year since the cruel hand of death reached into our lives and snatched you away from us, my beloved son, Mumin Ritamoe Ekuam. A year has passed, yet the pain feels as fresh as the moment you left. The world has moved on, but for us, time has stood still, frozen in the shadow of your absence. 

2024 was a year of unimaginable pain, a year that tested the very fabric of our family. We laughed less, cried more, and carried the weight of your absence in every breath we took. Yet, through the tears, we have found strength strength to keep going, to keep hoping, and to keep believing that you are in a safe place, cradled in the arms of angels. 

Mumin, you were more than a son; you were a dreamer, a planner, and a beacon of light in our lives. We had so many plans together dreams of the future, of laughter, of milestones we would celebrate as a family. Now, those plans remain just that dreams. But even in their unfulfilled state, they remind us of the love we shared and the bond that death can never sever. 

As I transition into a new role in my career, I dedicate this move to you, my darling boy. Every step I take, every achievement I make, will be in your honor. I will carry your memory with me, not as a burden, but as a source of inspiration. You taught me to love deeply, to dream boldly, and to cherish every moment. For that, I am forever grateful. 

To your little brother, who misses you more than words can express, I want to say this: All will be well. Though the pain of losing you is immense, we will find a way to heal. We will keep your memory alive, telling stories of your laughter, your kindness, and your boundless spirit. Your little brother will grow up knowing that he had an incredible big brother who loved him dearly, even if only for a short time. 

Mumin, my sweet boy, though you are no longer here in body, your spirit lives on in our hearts. We feel your presence in the quiet moments, in the gentle breeze, and in the warmth of the sun. You are not gone; you are simply waiting for us in a place where there is no pain, no sorrow, and no goodbyes. 

Until we meet again, my darling, rest peacefully among the angels. We love you, we miss you, and we will honor you every day of our lives. 

With all my heart, 
Ekuam,Your Father and the entire   family.
