May 26, 2013
I would never had tot in a million yrs that u would leave me wen u left! Very soon. U never nursed me to Maturity. Kudos to Mrs Adeyinka Kayode Ibitoye who did. Though she was ur third child bt I still miss ur role. Without being superstitious, my late mum cud be discribed as a woman imbibed with sterling mind nd breath of vision. Ur departure on AUG 3rd 1999 was very shocking. Bt God kws d best. Wen we think of our mum, what cums to mind readily is proverb 31 {WOMAN}. To us she encapsulated all that woman was nd much more. Indeed she was noble in character. Calm in spirit bt cheerful in disposition. Our mum was a GEM, rare nd priceless to keep.
As a wife she was faithful nd true to her husband. Always caring, always loving. She did him good all her life. Honouring him nd putting his needs before hers. She was his jewel in his crown. Mum was d mainstay of our home, solid as rock. She was d shinning light dat light up our lives. Our home was a haven that many troubled and weary souls found rest. Family, friends nd strangers, all were equally in mums sight.
As child she tot us love! Respect! Honesty! Contentment. She never live beyound her means nd she made us value what we had. She also tot us the value of stable home! Providing 4 us a safe nd secure foundation.
We were SEVEN {7} yet mum loves us ll d same. U could never sence her favourite. Her hearth was as wide as an open key. She knew us all so very well, our strength, weakness nd personalities. She was quick to settle our quarrels nd fair in her judgements.
Through school! Mum cheered us on. She was there to encourage us nd fight for justice if needful. We were never a failure to mum dir was always hope to do better next tym. With mum there were no male or female wen it cums to househood chores. She tot us all to cook nd clean » all our spouses are trully blessed.
There was never a dull moment with mum, she was always full of stories of her childhood. Mum was very pretty nd fashionable. We were the envy of a lot of our friends. We always look 4wrd to mum visit at school so we could shou her off. She was a picture to behold. No matter what mum wore, she stoodout in the crowd. She's full of dignity nd honour.
She was a woman of gr8 insight. Many of our friends were closser to her than there own parents. They all called her Mummy nd she treated them no less.
She was a woman of great wealth, nt in worldly goods bt in act of kindness. When ever we questioned her good deeds, she would smile nd say THEY ARE SEEDS SHE WAS SOWING 4 US TO REAP LATTER IN LIFE. How true her words were.
Mum was both within nd without beautiful.
She always Said » life is what u made 4 ur self. Mummy u made a gr8 one. Choosing to love ur family nd putting us 1st. B4 ur desire nd dreams.
WE D SEVEN CHILDREN RISE UP TODAY 2 CALL U BLESSED!!!
