Dear Editor,

As I watched my father, Moses Nagamootoo make his final appearance at the Parade Ground and utter his final words of the campaign to the people of Guyana, I could not help but think that he has given it his all; he has made the choices and decisions he had to make to help secure a better Guyana for all.

He has given 50 years of service and sacrifice for our country and throughout all his struggles and sacrifices we have stood by his side, like any devoted children would. As his children, we want to let him know that whatever the outcome is now, as always, we will support him unconditionally just as we have done all our lives.

We know that whatever he is doing is for the people of Guyana and our country, like any true patriot. We have accepted him for who he is and have, without question, accepted his political endeavours and his unwavering desire to secure a better Guyana not only for his four children but for all the children of Guyana – especially for the children of Guyana since we are now grown and have built a life of our own.

We have watched him fighting injustices under PNC dictatorship and now under PPP Jagdeo misrule. We have lived in the fear of losing him as he struggled for the people of Guyana. This is and will always be the most heart-wrenching fear that his children have to live with.

We are content with who he is as our dad and would like to have him by our sides always and out of Guyana politics, but we realize that this is his passion and his love for our country and our people runs deeper than anyone could imagine, and we respect him for never giving up on an opportunity to help improve the lives of the Guyanese people.

We are forever proud of him for being the dad that any child would be proud off. He is truly the dad of every Guyanese child for wanting to secure a better life for all of them.

I only hope that the Guyanese people have returned that favour to his children and wife who stood relentlessly with him as he fought for a country that as Guyanese we can all be proud of, by taking the initiative and voting for change.

As he called upon the people of Guyana to walk with him and share in the moment of reclaiming the country’s pride, uniting all Guyanese and recreating a country that symbolizes honesty and not corruption, racial unity and not division, equality and not injustice, it was all up to the people of Guyana to make the change.

My father defined not only the moment by his courage and determination to restore Guyana’s pride, but the moment defined him as well, being a son of Guyana who will do whatever it takes to protect the interest of the people and the nation.

Like a true statesman he placed country above self.

It is time for him to sit back and rest. He has done all that he can. Yesterday it was for the people of Guyana to make the change.

Yours faithfully, Maria Nagamootoo
