Moments before our walk that afternoon,
I realized the path ended too soon.
Not long enough to hold his hand,
this amazing person, this loving man.
Not long enough to engage his eyes
and remember his always brimming with pride.
Not long enough to stand by his side,
as he was by mine after every rough tide.
Not long enough to laugh with him still,
after every good joke with ur eva wine and
after every tough hill.
Not long enough to walk with this man,
who has taught me to be the person I am.
Not long enough as we walked by his wife,
to thank them both for my wonderful life.
In all the walks I’ve taken in my life,
first as a girl and now as a wife,
I’ll remember that walk I took with my father
and always wish it could have been longer.” Rest well Daddy and miss u so much sir.

7 years just like last night. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. It’s your remembrance again Dad and how we wish you were still here with us. “ A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.” M. Angelou.
Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ till we meet again on the resurrection day.

Another post humous birthday. For me it has been a long walk on a lonely road .... trying so hard to fight depression.... don’t really feel anything counts without you . I thank God for the life you lived . The memories of you are refreshingly reassuring of a better life outside this world. Have you seen your brother too? He left us last year to be with you . Eternal rest assured Daddy .

tried to think of something beautifully poetic to write for your birthday. But instead I thought I would just give it to you straight. Thank you dad; for everything you have done for me. You are just the best kind of person. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you in it.

Life without you seems very funny, everyone tried to move on but the vacuum you left behind is difficult to filled. One moment I thought you are gone, next minute I found myself thinking of you, asking questions that no one could answer. Like the Psalmist says, “I’ll give thanks to you LORD, with all my heart; I’ll tell of all your wonderful deeds” for the short and good live you lived, we give thanks.
Just wondering what your 80th birthday would have looked like, you were brave and fearless even until the point of death. Thanks for all you have done, regards to your elder brother & aunty ‘Debimpe, I’m sure you guys are holding each other hands like you did while on earth, we shall meet again on the resurrection day when we meet to part no more. HAPPY POSTHUMOUS BIRTHDAY POP

I would accept that I won’t see you again, but for me, it is very hard to think about that. I only ask God to grant me the fortitude to continue with my life and manage to overcome your loss. I want to tell you to spend a nice birthday, my siblings and I send you hugs. I will always remember you for the rest of my life. HAPPY POSTHUMOUS BIRTHDAY POP

A day to your 4th memorial I sustained an unexpected injury , one that kept me wondering how managed I survived for it was a close one..... A handcuff to the left eye and a fracture of bones of my right hand. I have been having a premonition of an evil lurking around for a while but can't figure it out. Somehow , I have a feeling you were there to give the protection I needed for I could have lost my left eye totally. I miss u dad and will forever do. Rest in peace .

Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.…HAPPY POSTHUMOUS BIRTHDAY POP!!!

Dear Dad,
3 years gone just like yesterday, there is not a day that I don’t think about you.
No one knows how much I miss you; No one knows the bitter pain
I have suffered since you joined the Saint triumphant. Life has never been the same.
The memory forever lingers in my heart, loving and kind in all your ways; sweetly tender, fond and true.
Upright and just to the end of your days, the vacuum you left behind is yet to be filled, sleep on Dad till we meet to part no more.

Daddy, I still cry more or less everyday. Whenever I am driving alone or even at home alone I just but cannot think of your sudden and shocking mode of departure . No parting words, you showed no symptom of ill health. You left this world a bit early and I still continue to question God why it had to be like that but till date I got no reply. I miss you dearly and daily. Omo Olupogun Ajeerege Sun re o

It hurts to think that you are not here anymore. Although I can’t help but smile with tears in my eyes to think of how we cherished each and every moment of our lives together when you were alive. I miss you dad.Wherever you are I just want you to know that no matter how much we’ve fought and argued, you were right, is what my heart always knew.
Dad!!! How ironic is it that I wasted my early days in the college not listening to you. But now that you’re not here, I’m living life exactly how you told me to, your death will always remain a blurry memory. But your life will always be a vivid one, the epitome of greatness and sacrifice. I miss you dad..........Sleep on until we meet to part no more

MY JAMB RESULT 1984
January 18, 2023
I can't forget the day you broke the news of my Jamb result which paved way for my admission into University of Ife (now) O.A.U, Ife. It was a memorable day, the late Dr. Adeniran of Jamb came to deliver the results to Baba Alamu but didn't meet him at home. Just as he was exiting St. Luke's College, Molete' gate, you drove in and that was it. Another 30 minutes you were still discussing. Meanwhile, all of us residing within St. Luke's and the neighborhood and took Jamb exams that year gathered in front of the Alamus.
Suddenly, you drove into the compound and straight into our house and you asked after me, my mom sent Bosede to call me and I left the Alamus'. Congratulations son, you did well, you are getting in for Pharmacy at Ife by God's grace- that was the message. I was so excited, and that was the last day I set my foot on GCI, Apata where I was getting set for my HSC.
Thank you Dad, for the sacrifices you made to give us sound education, it's visible all over us and am doing same for Tochuckwu. Continue to rest in the bosom of your Maker, the Lord Jesus Christ. O tun di ojo Ajinde ti a o pade lese Jesu, after good health, prosperity, long life and purposeful living for Jesus on earth in Jesus mighty name Aaaaaaaaaaamen

Time they say, heals the wound.....but I am not sure the wounds your demise left can be permanently healed in our hearts.....it created a big vacuum .....so big that no one else can fill. We are however, consoled by your good deeds while on earth, knowing God as your personal saviour and desire to always make others smile ....no matter how little. Hence, we continue with these legacies.....and your wife ....our mum......of recent has been on and off health -wise.......please kindly tell her to stay a bit longer ......I know she misses you daily. For me it has been one of a fluctuating mood and a life time regret of "could I have done something better to keep you alive".....I miss you ....it hurts deeply....no one can understand the way I feel......only you .......Sleep on Dad....the tears still flow freely ......but they say it is therapeutic.
Rest on Dad
