My earliest memories of you was my Aunty who seem to always show up with goodies & provisions & telling mama 2 give us enough milk & milo whenever she made tea for us. I can clearly remember one day while our wahala was too much as kids for mama and she mistakenly put salt instead of sugar in our tea & made us all to drink it by force with cane in her hand . I was the oldest amongst the kids & a part of me prayed for you to show up to save us!.
The delight in Kunbi, Lola & little Gbenga's faces was such joy to behold whenever you show up, there was this assurance you gave them that says mommy is around & nothing else mattered. Mama's countenance, smile & energy instantly became lite & you two tend to gist late into the night. Your voice usually feels the room & everyone knows mommy Kunbi is around.
I once visited you in your shop in mushin & you were so happy to introduce me to everyone as omo aunty mi. You even made me feel so shy whilst telling the women around you stories of me as a baby. As usual na to give me plenty provisions when I was leaving.
Thank you so much for everything ma & for giving me amazing cousins who have kept your memories in our lives alive till date.
Adieu mommy Kunbi
