A letter to Kene 🕊️👫
Kenechukwu Henry(my confident) is accommodating, ambitious, hardworking, disciplined, selfless, patient, focused, smart, humble, benevolent, charming and one with an intriguing personality.
I am using “is” because Kene is still here with me.
My brother, my friend, my one call away, my acting man, my cousin, my partner in crime, we did everything together Kene, you were always there, you paid attention to my life like the elder brother I never had would, Kene created a BOND with my sisters and I that was so rare and special.
I remember when I first met you at our 2018 reunion, we had a lot of catching up to do, that we stayed up all night till and we were wondering what were we discussing that kept us awake till that hour, that was the highlight of that reunion for me and since then it been us being there for each other until date. You are a pillar of support for me , a shoulder to cry on, the one person I complain to, that gives a listening ear, kene will always pass by the house to check up on me. I always followed you around like I was your P.A, always wanted to be were you where, your compliments and words of encouragement gave me so much confidence in myself(he’s usuals line… “common see how good you look? hope nobody disturbed you outside 😁), Kene would cook for me and my sisters, ensuring that we’ve eaten, are well comfortable and taken care of, whenever we come by the house, he was an elder brother, he was my urgent 2k provider, he thought me never to pile up issues, rather I should learn the act of communicating to the person, so many memories I won’t be able to share.
Now, who will i disturb? who’ll checkmate me? who’ll advise me? Who will uncouth me?who will care for me the way you did? who’ll be there for me just the way you were?
Words fail me because this is not what we planned, we still had so much to show this world,but God knows best.
Kene thank you for a phenomenal life experience, I’ll forever cherish these memories. The roles you played in my life is as big as it gets, your words instilled in me won’t go in vain, I’ll surely make you happy and proud of me.
You’re that treasured one and rare gem I’ll always be grateful to God for. I love you so much Kene, till we meet again my lovely brother. FAREWELL
YOUR COUSIN
HELEN(mama)
