With a dimension of time things come to pass; with a dimension of time our dreams come true; with a dimension of time man is born, grow and ultimately die. As Einstein expresses it wittingly, we mortals achieve immortality through the permanent things we create in common. Encouraged by this wisdom, generation moves forward despite death is striking every family member without notice. At the dawning of this Millennium and New Year I lost my father, a determined farmer who sent all his children to school. While opened up the opportunity to me and I enjoyed the fruit of civilization throughout Africa, Europe and the United states, he died in the rural part of Ethiopia with no electricity, road or access to primary health care. He did not know the cyberspace and your website exists, but I feel his name deserves some space on your site to let social circles of friends know that an honorable Ethiopian farmer, who used to plough with oxen and feed the nation, rests in peace at the turn of the Millennium.

A very touching note.

Ato Worku- my condolences go out to you. What a heartfelt way to honor your father- may God comfort you at this time.
Ato Worku I am so sorry about your loss and may your father rest in peace.For me your father’s life represent most Ethipian parents who are selfless and caring to their families. This is how we should comemmorate our parents:doing what we can to bring justice and democracy so that they will live a better life.
Ato worku, my deepest condolence for the loss of your beloved honourable father. It touched my heart and reminded me my past. May God give you the strength and comfort and also bless your father’s soul.
Mr. Worku my condolences go out to you and your family too. My God bless your father’s soul. My father lost his life for the unity of Ethiopia as a soldier without having a single day to rest. I was a young boy then, raised by my father. when he died, I felt like the entire universe came down on me and had no where to go. Now that your dad has met my dad in heaven, rest assured that they both talk about the most beautiful lady they both loved and left behind, Mother Ethiopia.
let him rest in peace. we all owe them big time. hang in there bro.
Tear in my eyes, I extend my condolences to you and to your family. Ye Worku Abat, rest in peace, and thank you for serving mother Ethiopia and her people.
