SSome of us called him “Dada Nkansah”, others called him “Blackman”. He was the glue that kept all his children’s marriages together.
He was the bolt that tightened all the loose joints of his children’s marriages. He was the ‘Master Arbitrator’.
Dada Nkansah was full of wisdom and kind words. He reprimanded and soothed us in the same breath.
He was more of a friend than an in-law to most of us. He was the father-in-law you could call and chat with endlessly. He was always a phone call away when old age reduced the frequent visits.
He called often; checking on all his in-laws and grandchildren. We shall all cherish our respective memories with you, Dada Nkansah. You kept us all united.
In fact, you were the unifying force that held our homes intact. Thank you for your selflessness and passion for peace.
Thank you for your love.
It’s not a goodbye… it’s only a good night.
