Sly Tetteh’s dreams live on

This is Tsotsoo. Greetings from the other Tsotsoo (Dada Ansong). It’s been two years since you left; two years of tears, solitude and pain that have been endured by a very dear brother and friend.

I wanted to let go the link with you, but it kept haunting me. How could I let go when we were regularly in contact morning, afternoon, evening, and even in the night during those critical situations (you know what I mean).

You went through trying times setting yourself up and always speaking about plans to enjoy big time with your children. I therefore understood it as a matter of course, when you told me that fateful morning on September 3, 2011 at the Crown Liberty Hotel (where we had stopped briefly before we continued the journey to the Afahye festival in Cape Coast), that you were going to cut down on your trips abroad to spend more time with the children and also concentrate on the Hotel business.  Little did I expect that it was another way of bidding farewell to a dear friend.

Nevertheless, your legacy lives on. Friends you left behind still remember you anytime we meet; Dada Ansong, Papse, Felix Abayateye, Uncle Nab and T.T Ashford.

We all miss you and pray that you have finally found the rest you always yearned for in your life time.

Tsotsoo, Nyanje – Poa
