At the 75th anniversary of Mawuli School in Gbana, a man affectionately known as “Kportimelakle” was present. Nearing 90 years old, he belonged to the 1959 year group. He came with hope in his heart to reunite with old classmates, to relive memories of youthful days but none were there to meet him.
Most of them have passed on, and perhaps the few still alive were too frail to attend. With quiet sadness, he said, “I did not meet any of my classmates.”
That moment was deeply moving, a powerful reminder of how fleeting life truly is. The people we laugh with, share dreams with, and walk alongside today will not always be there tomorrow.
So let us love while we still can. Let us forgive quickly, give generously, and celebrate one another while life gives us the chance. Because in the end, legacy is not only in what we achieve, but in the lives we touch and the hearts we leave behind.
Let us live fully, love deeply, and never leave a kind word unsaid.
