“I have been trying to find the words to say this…
My beloved father, Leonard Ndukaife Chukwuka, has gone to be with the Lord.
I lost my mother 13 years ago, and now that my father is gone, the thought that I have neither parent here anymore breaks my heart in a way I cannot fully explain. So na only me bayi?
My daddy, papa’m, obara’m, my comfort, and such a precious part of my life…GONE!
I am so thankful you lived a long life, and I am grateful to God you saw your children and grandchildren. We had hoped you would meet your great-grandchildren too, mana nya diba!
No matter how many years we are given with a parent, we still want one more conversation, one more embrace, one more day. I thank God for his life and for the precious moments I spent with him, especially near the end.
I have held this news close while trying to understand my own grief. As I share it now, I ask you to please keep me, my siblings, and the entire Chukwuka family in your prayers. Your love and support will mean so much to us in the days ahead. I will share details about his funeral when the family is ready.
Rest well, Olowo of Ikate, my father. I will always love you.
