My Sun Is Gone! Jim Iyke Pays Tribute To Late Mom

Jim Iyke lost his mom on the 1^st of April, 2014
and he has been silent over her death. He finally found courage to pay tribute
to his mom who he says, no lover, sister or even a daughter he might have in
the future can take her place. His words;

“She was a force of nature. My big sis,
my 1st wife, my confidante, my rock, my critique, my greatest fan and regal
leader.

“She was a radiant, gorgeous woman with a smile bigger
than the sun and always ready to embrace anyone for all the good and even wrong
reasons.

“My sun is gone. The dull numbing ache in my heart will
never be pacified by any woman alive. Not my lover, sisters nor even a daughter
I may one day bear.

“The relationship of a mother and an only son is
uniquely eternal and spiritual, transcending human comprehension. Mine with
Gladys is even far strangely beyond that.

“They say it’s a blessing if a son buries his mother
and not the other way around. I’m not sure they’re entirely right.

“They also said one never recovers from the loss of
their mother. I hope they are right! May I never recover from the memories of
your celestial love, sacrifices, warmth, your contagious laughter and merciless
wit.

“Your enthusiasm for life and service of others was
infectious. I’ll miss you each and every waking moment of my life. I know
you’re in a better place now.

“I’ll carry on everything you stood for ’til my last
days.

“You came and saw and conquered.

“Adieu Gladys from your boy Jim.
