Appreciate little things…

Dinah Tetteh LADY
“I am a simple and beautiful person (especially inwardly). I try to accept people for who they are and so forgive them for certain mistakes. I preach forgiveness; that is the way to go, forgive and move on”
– Dinah Tetteh (LADY)
I once wrote on FACEBOOK that, “appreciate me now that I am alive. Don’t wait till I am put in a suit and placed in a coffin else…!” and my friends that I share messages with asked me to stop threatening them.
Today, I write to dedicate this article to a colleague of mine who has left to the United States of America. I affectionately call her ‘My Lady’.
I have not come to present to you a tribute in memory of anybody but to appreciate the life of someone that I will be missing for at least the next two years.
Lady is not a very ‘close’ friend of mine but someone we all related to in our department and when it came to deciding on who qualified to go to heaven, we all decided on her.
Her morale behaviour made people like Nash (another colleague) wish to have her as wife. Very calm, intelligent, obedient and when she heard of people being paid GH¢3,000 a month she would exclaim, “Ah! That is too much”.
Lady’s cushy nature makes me wonder if there still exist ladies who will refuse honey being poured into their mouth. A colleague decided to give her a lift home one day since it had been raining, she simply refused with the excuse that, “you can’t waste all that fuel just for one person”.
God being so good, Lady has gained admission to pursue higher studies all the way in USA and I know her good deeds will always bring favours her way.
The preceding quote of my article is from Lady’s FACEBOOK profile, and believe you me, she did not put it there for the sake of filling in the blanks but she meant every word of it.
To you who are reading this article now, I say I appreciate you for the fact that you have decided to make a little time to read the little things I have been putting on my BLOG, I really do and thank you for that.
To Lady, I say thank you for not making me walk to the market to buy those liquid soaps you have been bringing to the office for my little girls to bath with. (Hope this tells you how much I will be missing you).
Appreciate somebody today for you don’t know what tomorrow holds.
Stay blessed!

Oh Kris you brought tears into my eyes. Indeed this is really not a tribute but appreciating someone so special as Dinah. As you know she was my closest friend in the office, and i must say she is an exceptional friend I’ve ever had. She’s taught me a great deal of things which have really helped me. She is so patient and always had the time to listen to my “nonsense”. oh!!! the saying that “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” is very true.
For me this saying really hit me the day Dinah informed me she’ll be be traveling. That was when i begun to cherish every minute i spent with her.
Two years is a short time. She’ll come back soon, and we’ll all be together again.
Thanx Kris, this is a beautiful piece. (At least i hope you’ll do the same for me one day
)
