Tribute From Nwamaegwu Jeremi Duru

Thank you, Dad, for all that you taught me and for the good times and laughs we shared.  It is rare that a day goes by that I don’t think about a phrase you used to use or a lesson you taught me or something you found interesting.  When I am working hard at something and feeling that maybe I have not achieved enough, I hear you in my ear saying “do your best and leave the rest.” When my son misbehaves and I consider how I should react, I always remember the conversation about discipline that we had when I was a new father and you were a new grandfather – a conversation I will never forget and will always cherish.  When I watch sports, I remember how much you loved sports and how much I loved sitting with you watching them.  Each day, I realize more and more how much you are a part of me.  I love you, Dad.  And I miss you.

Your son,

Nwamaegwu Jeremi Duru
