Writing with Juliet Iwelunmor

Love is as love does and when love begins with Nnem you will give life love. The light of love is in the one everyone calls Nnem. Onyelo. The impossible being whose being is as secure as the clouds in the sky. Her love is always there, always loving, always letting the love within us shine. No matter how dark, Nnem’s love is always present, always ready to ignite a flame, open a heart, lend a heart, flow like oxygen through a heart, all while saying a little prayer for every heart. She is forever a life force, a love force, a truth force, a rhythm and blues force, which will never make you forget how this flow force in you, like a river, will never pass you by. If I am repeating the word force often, Onyelo is a force. The kind that breathes air into you so you never forget the meaning of you. In her you will find an oasis for moments barren, a shelter from rain, a morning star, an evening star. She is a force that to celebrate her is to know the true depths of life, like a mirror casting its depths of love. This one that never had any chance to be, remains and continues today and forever because she is and always a force. Happy birthday Nnem.
