 Mr Kodwo Hayford 🕊️ 

When mum texted and asked me to call Lyssa and Kwesi Armah, I knew you had left us. I shut my eyes and said a silent prayer. I was lost for words so I decided to text my sister and brother..

“Our Dearest Dad is gone ooo” . My heart sank and could barely sleep. 

Thank you for everything you did for me and mum and the family. You made sure I didn’t have to work whilst in France but to focus on my studies. I never had to worry about money. Old money as Kwesi Armah will say. When I was young and was always top in class, mum will come home with treats and she would say “ Mr Hayford se menfa mma wo na kodo dzi boys no first “ 

My internships in GPHA and as a baby sitter for your French business partners introduced me to the world of work and you made sure it was fun 🤩 

Even when I was about to marry, you did your background check and approved. You weren’t going to give your little girl away to just anybody’s son. 

12 years of being away, I finally met my famous brother Kwesi Armah 🤩 who has been living just few hours away from me all the while. That brought me home to see you. Even though you were a bit poorly when I last saw you, we had a long lovely chat. We laughed so much and that’s the memory I’m keeping with me forever until the resurrection. 

You fought the good fight and you need the rest.

Your famous words “hardwork breaks no bone” will be our guiding principle as we continue life in this world.

We will miss you dearly. We love you.

Da yie!!!
