THE WAY WE WERE SINCE INFANCY

January 13, 2017

Two weeks have passed and it seems it has just started to dawn on me that you're not coming back. Dewale, I am still stunned from that phone call I received early in the morning and can't believe I wouldn't see you again. I sat down here and looked back at our growing up together at Wakeman Street in Alagomeji, and memories of the three of us Tumi, you & I runing riots and playing around in the compound, play footie and the atlas games. I remember us walking to school together and attending lessons together at Odetola in Moleye street. Those are lovely times in our growing up.

Dewale, you are more than a cousin and just like a brother to Tumi & I as we were raised under the same roof and shared the same bed. The void you leave between Tumi & I would remain irreplaceable till end time. They say time is a great healer, how time would heal this I don't know. But I pray to God to give Tumi & I the strength to move on. 

Adewale Omo baba loju ogunn... SUN RE OOOO.

Wale.....l remember the day l met u at a lesson center at Alagomeji, Yaba in 1981. You always made sure that l got on the bus safely. I still can't believe u r gone. It feels like a nightmare that I hope to never wake up from. We still chatted via text in early December & which makes it so surreal & so much harder to bear. I will always remember you. You were a gentleman to the very core. You are in a better place now. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

I can’t believe that you’re gone my friend. I can’t believe that I’ll never be able to visit you or see you anytime soon. I can’t believe that our childhood pastime can never be relieved again.

I’m sorry that I didn’t know about your pain. I’m sorry that I didn’t stay in closer contact with you. I’m sorry that I assumed that everything was okay with you, when inside you were hurting.

I wonder what you were thinking as your life ended. Did you wonder if your life mattered? Then let me tell you that it did. That in those few days together you touched my heart with your kindness, your laughter, your positive energy. And above all else with your beautiful, and courageous attitude to life.

As you were dying, did you wonder if people would remember you? Then let me tell you that I will remember you forever and hold you close in my heart.

Tears are streaming down my face as I write these final words. Goodbye my brave friend. I hope that wherever you are, you finally have peace in your heart and in your soul...Good night Wale
