FAREWELL TRIBUTE TO MY LOVELY HUSBAND
No one knows when his hour will come, as a fish captured in a cruel net, or as birds caught in a snare. So also, are men trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them’’ (Ecclesiastes 9:1).
God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be.
So, he put his arms around you and whispered, 'Come to Me'. With tearful eyes
we watched you as we saw you pass away. Although we loved you deeply,
Your Golden Heart stopped beating, Hardworking hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes the best.
Years ago, I met a remarkable young man who was intelligent,
knowledgeable, confident, eloquent and charming. His name was MICHAEL
EDWARD ASHIE. I’ve been blessed by God to be the wife and companion of
a loving, kind, and extraordinary human being. I don’t know of a better life than
the one I spent with you. I was living the dream of a happy married life. You
made sure I had the best of everything. In fact, you were always proactive about
my needs. What more could a woman ask for?
Eddie, as I affectionately call him, He became the love of my life and
one of the best gifts God gave me. Apart from his well-dressed nature, one of
the things that attracted my attention about him was his clean nails. It was the
Lord who preserved our union till the end.
Sunday, March 3rd, 2024, started like a normal Sunday for us. A day
the children and I could shut the world out and have Eddie to ourselves. A day
when he was simply Daddy and my husband. But now, that day marks the
beginning of a painful and a sudden moment we still cannot come to terms with.
How can Eddie be gone? How can he be forever silent?
My husband was such a wonderful man. I’m not sure I can really express just how much I will miss him. Not only was he a wonderful husband, but a wonderful father, best friend, colleague … and so much more. Eddie’s ability to make everyone feel comfortable, secure and loved were his greatest strengths. Eddie was always such a gentleman—well-mannered and polite, but always quick with a witty remark. His joviality and good nature attracted people the moment he walked in the room, and no one could forget his contagious laugh.
Eddie was a hardworking and giving man. Not only was he committed to his job—working long hours that would drive me insane—he was also committed to giving back to the community. He was an eternal optimist with a quick and ever ready smile and an always positive attitude. He always firmly believed that the best was yet to come, and he never lost hope until he breathed his last.
He always encouraged us be involved in life—he brought out the best in us all. He would always say, you must keep forging ahead and make the best of everything”. He was my soul mate and my inspiration—my steadfast rock that helped me through thick and thin. Eddie supported and loved us all and was always there to help navigate through life’s challenges. Eddie may be in heaven now, but I know he is looking down at us with a big smile on his face saying,
“Forge ahead—make the best of life—and I’ll see you soon. We have work to do up here, too.” Goodbye, my dear, sweet husband, and God bless. Till we meet again, Eddie, my love, rest in perfect peace.
