*NO CLASSMATE AGAIN* At the 75th Anniversary of Mawuli School, a man fondly called ‘Kportimelakle’ was there. He will be 90 years old soon and was part of the 1959 year group. He came to celebrate, hoping to meet his classmates but sadly, none were around. Most of them are gone and may be those alive were too frail to join the celebration. He said “ I did not meet any of my classmates”. That moment was deeply symbolic. It reminded me that life is fleeting, and our time together is limited. The people we laugh with, work with, and walk with today will not always be with us in the future. So, let’s love while we can. Let’s forgive easily, support generously, and celebrate one another while we’re still alive Legacy isn’t just in what we build, it’s in the hearts we touch and the lives we uplift. Let’s live fully, love deeply, and leave no kind word unsaid.
