I hear you loud and clear, Auntie Pam! I am still dumbfounded – truly speechless and dazed! We are yet to drop a few cloaks of moaning and now we have another to put on top of them! Wow, 2019 has dealt us great blows and brought us much grief! May it forever remain our annus horribilis. We cannot afford any worse. God knows we can't! May Teju's family – Moji and children, and all of us that ever crossed the brilliant mind's path be comforted. The community of literary thinkers has lost one of its finest!

Good God! WHY? Not another maturing, leading branch, plucked from the fold, and prematurely pruned!
What is the message here, this time, Lord? Why, indeed, God? Pray, Lord, tell and still our grieving hearts! We REALLY yearn to know!
