In a post on Instagram, she laid bare the specific and irreplaceable loss a daughter feels when she loses the person she expected to witness her future.
"Daddy, who will I bring to greet when I find the one? Who will I call when I graduate again, and would tell me Wo Tiri nkwa? Who will I buy a card for on Father's Day?" she wrote in a tribute accompanied by photographs of her father, posted weeks after his passing.
AJ Sarpong described Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong as a man whose resilience had become something close to legend in the family, a person who had recovered from serious illness so many times that she had genuinely stopped imagining a world without him.
"Nana was a pillar. A force. A tree that would never move. Unmovable and Unshakable. He had come back from the brink so many times that I literally couldn't imagine a reality where he wasn't here," she wrote.
AJ Sarpong said returning home and not finding him there left her feeling lost, and that coming to terms with his death remained the hardest thing she has faced. She described him as "iconic, exceptional, inspiring" while reaffirming her faith in the midst of grief.
