By Hope O’Rukevbe EghaghaThere are times in our lives when a temporary going-away becomes a permanent going away into a place where mortals never meet, and where no one is certain of which side of the eternal divide one would be when the ‘trump sounds and the end comes! That is, that ‘bye for now’ becomes a bye forever, an eternal goodbye because the voyager slipped into the abyss without notice, without a warning, and we catch ourselves saying ‘how I wish I had handled things differently’, and regret things undone or not properly done, and we mourn for a while and move on as if nothing happened! It is the way of man, this!
