THE LOSS OF THE LOVELY LEADER



Every goodbye is the birth of a memory.  Death leaves a heartache no-one can heal.The jokes you used to crack in ward to relief tension is lost.Your great brains and experience we used to  fetched on daily basis is ended. We were so depressed to see you go(died) suddenly. It is a loss for the ICU community, Tamale NTC, Tamale Teaching Hospital, and the whole optics community as well as the family you tendered and cared.We cannot say in words what  you have done for the noble profession Nursing.Out of your handwork for  humanity and service to mankind you earned the best Nurse Special Award in the early 90s. We do not remember days; we remember moments you were special person in our amids.Allah loves you best as we claim may he shower his merciful blessings on you and may he gives the family the mental fortitude to weather the storm that befell all of us.
As I run round that day looking confuse in mental picking all the gadgets you thought me to use to save lives in the ward and in class a moment came I could not hold my tears but to blink my eyes only for the tears to flow like volta river streaming from Bagri Dam.But Allah loves you more.Yes Allah loves you more.
I remember just some few days to your demise I lost one of my dear patients in the ward and  performing the usual Last offices you thought me a trick and a skill on how to tie the jaw of a dead patient to prevent the mouth from opening wide.How I wish you saw me use that skill you thought me on you..............hhhmmmm. This was when the tears gush with pressure .
 I think we lost him but we did not lose him as a model in our lifes.Alhaj Alhassan Dobia Seidu rest in perfect peace!

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others. -
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. -
Fond memories brings the light of other days around me. -
A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen.
