Anniversary Of The Late Matthew H. Akahoho-Dzamesi
My siblings and I recently made a collective trip to Tefle, a village roughly 60 miles from Accra and where my late Father hails from. The purpose of the trip was to perform the Second Year Anniversary of the death of our Father. This anniversary is normally done a year after the death of a person. Some Families wait till five years, others ten. I suppose it all depends on resources and the availability of everyone at one particular time of the year. Anyway, this is not a topic I am familiar with, so I will not dwell on this too much. Anyway, fortunately, the end of March was suitable for all of us.
The trip to Tefle was quite eventful, well for me anyway. I have never been there and this was my first time of going there. I honestly did not imagine the drive there to be so smooth. I thought we were going to be delayed by all manner of pot-holes on the roads and everything else. Shame on me! I was impressed by the roads. We, when I say we I mean Awuley [my cousin], the taxi driver [yes, I got a taxi to hire a car at a very reasonable price] and myself; left Accra around 6.00 AM. In roughly two hours time we were in Tefle. Admittedly with non of us not knowing the route, we stopped on a couple of occasions to ask for directions. When we got there, I made a quick call to ask for directions to my Late Fathers house.
Thanks to God, the celebrations went well. I had the opportunity to take a lot of optics and have put together a short video for you to view. The video might be a bit rough, I am not well versed in the art of putting optics together to make a video, but the program I used, FotoMagic did a brilliant job. Obviously if I had more time on my hands, I could have done a better job. Enjoy!
