It is almost 5yrs, yet there is hardly a day or week that the thought of you doesn't come to mind...
'That we feel your absence is an understatement Dad but these things keeps us going. The love we shared, family bond and the grace of God.

3 whole years my dad without you feels like eternity! I miss you every second of the day. I strongly feel dad that your last minutes on earth you were praying for us because great things are happening in your children's life. I only wish you were here to share those moments with us. Abiyamo tooto, I feel you are alive and with us every time. You cant begin to imagine how much we miss you at every step of the way. Your grandaughter asked me yesterday if I was happy you are in heaven? Of course I said YES cos that's the only thing that brings me joy in your passing but I told her I miss you being here with us and hearing your voice, word of advice and prayers. You were really wonderful n caring. It was as if you knew your time on earth wouldn't be longer than this cos you really poured love on us. Thank you daddy for your everlasting love even till you went to meet your maker. It's still like a dream...... that you are gone. Love you always and always missing you with every fibre of my being. Sleep on daddy, I will surely see you again. Your only daughter

It is 3yrs today yet it seems just like yesterday.
I recur our last engagement and how you were trying to get my attention on the night of the 23rd; hours before they removed the Oxygen.....
Honestly, I still can't comprehend the basis for their action or who gave the permission after we left.
We did pray and I tried to reach out to Pastor Adeboye thru his Son and also tried to reach out to Pastor Kumuyi when I realized this was beyond medical science but indeed only God knows the path glory.
The pain still remains fresh Dad and I have finally realized that it would linger unless the sweet memories fade! (Of course it can't).
You've fought the good fight, finished the race and kept the faith. We have remained steadfast as well and will stay on course till me meet in Paradise.
A few days ago, Denzel & Teni prayed for you and Denzel asked when you are coming back from Heaven.
We all love you Dad and miss you so so much.
Your Son, Babatunde.

Missing you is really an understatement daddy, cos it's actually every moment. But we thank God for the father to the fatherless that you committed us to, HE has never leave nor forsake us. I will always thank you dad for showing us the way of the Lord n telling us to hold tight! I will always thank you for showing us unquenching love even till the last. You are indeed one in a zillion. So hard to find any like you daddy. I lay a flower for you today to show my undying love for you even I death. You live on daddy!!!! You live in us.

Dad, you would have been 65 today. You would have shown some more love. You would have added some more value. You would have brightened up faces , you would have touched lives. You would have helped with some unanswered questions.
You have given a shoulder to lean on, you would have given your opinion about a lot of stuff. We love you. we miss you....we cant express it. But we are consoled in the fact that you are resting in Christ's bosom. Good night Dad. Sleep on till the resurrection morning .

Hi Dad! I must acknowledge the infinite and immortal impact of EL Shaddai in our lives.
You handed us over into the hands of God exactly 2 years ago, he hasn't failed us a day since you trusted us in his hands.
Mom and all the six of us are lounging in the hands of God; we have not known a better yesterday since you trusted us in his hands.
We thought that was the end, but God shows up for us each time we look back to check if you were still there.
Thanks for trusting God to do a good job at caring for us.
He has always been there .

Already 2 years dad! Just like yesterday you departed this sinful world. It's beginning to dawn on me that you'very gone never to return to us. Missing you is painful dad. It's like a pain in the chest that doesn't want to go away. With tears in my eyes I remember you today as always. The father of the fatherless has always been there for us and also been a husband to mummy. We really appreciate God for not leaving us alone. He has really been awesome , taking care of the ones you left behind every step of yhe way. Maa sun laya olugbala re Baba mi...One in my WORLD till we meet to part no more

Happy Posthumous B'day Dad... Even though you have dropped the flesh for a spiritual raiment, we know you are up there smiling down. Please accept our best wishes as we celebrate a man of integrity, perseverance, diligence and faith.
Now I see better sense in all you say. You were a hard core honest man and preferred to live a happy & modest life with your family than yield to the temptation of the flesh that could lead to spiritual and physical disaster.
Your pitch ... Seest though a man diligent in his work, he shall stand before kings and not before mean men... Today we all celebrate you as your teachings are yielding immense fruits.
We will continue to abide in love and live in truth anywhere we chance to stray as it clearly has significant dividends.
Oh Dad, how I miss our discussions on Politics and the Financial Services Industry. Wherever you are, I’m sure you are happy with the traction achieved by us all and my latest uplift to executive management.
Continue to sleep peacefully in his bosom till we meet. Babatunde.
Infact the song on the site is the best... drills into my marrow and brings some tears to my eyes. ...

The gap you left in me can not be filled by anyone. I thank God that you are God's BELOVED and you are resting with him. Even through the hustle n bustle of this world, my heart and thoughts lies with you ALWAYS. Continue to rest on my favorite until we meet to part no more. My loving n caring dad, Akanni Sam.

Life is like a vapour, the bible say. We thank God for the life of our brother, father, uncle and in-law. We thank God for His mercies over the extended family to date and trust that with God all is well with us.
"You'll never know what you have until you loose it". But we are consoled that all of us redeemed by Christ will meet at the "marriage feast of the lamb" in heaven. Kindly ensure you qualify for this feast by simply asking for the forgiveness of your sins and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour . However foolish this sounds, please do it in the secret of your heart. He sees your heart and will rescue from the wrath to come. Thanks.

Dearly Beloved Brother,
I never knew this sickness could take you from us. I would have prayed more. Nevertheless, the Lord has prepared you for the journey, what a fortunate person you were, I know your greatest desire for us left behind' would be for us to know Jesus and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. We love you but Jesus desired to see your face in heaven.
I Thessalonians 4 verses 13-16

It was a rude shock. I thought I was going to pass myself. I felt like dying with you dad. I thought life could not go on again. My daddy my daddy I cant begin to tell you and express my innermost feeling. I grabbed for Balance. I was so afraid, I never knew you could go that soon. At 62, I was thinking we have many many years to spend on earth together. Daddy o ga o, o lagbara. The space you left in me can never be filled by no one. I hold you so loving in me. Theres no minute I dont think about you. Atimes its just like a sad dream. You'v been a strenght for us dad, you'v been a strong pillar and tower for us all. We dnt know where to turn to or where to go if not for the holy spirit. You are indeed so loving n caring. one in a million. A rare gem. Will hold all you'v taught me very close to me and be the great woman you wanted me to be. I love you so much and more even in death Akanni oninu re. You are an Angel that came from above to shower love on us your children & mum. Your time on earth was really memorable filled with joy and Happiness. Sleep on my handsome father with the Lord . You ran your race and finished your course and now rewarded in HEAVEN, how beautiful is that! I will continue to love you as long as I breath. You can never be forgotten. You are Forever Missed.

Hi Dad,
Firstly, I would like to say BIG thanks to mom for being there for us every step of the way...I mean “every step”, since you left. You were lucky, and so are we, to have her (beautiful, caring & great mother).
I miss your advice, Check-up & especially prayers via phone (mum has been great) – you left a space too big for anyone to fill.
I miss you dad & I’ll forever do, albeit I am happy & I obtain solace in the fact that you are in a better place.
Continue to rest in perfect peace till we meet to part no more.

Hi Grandpa,
Wow… it’s been 11 years… I still can’t believe it. I feel like it was only yesterday when you were cutting pineapples for me, laughing as I said it was too sour to eat. Our time together was too short… I miss your love and teachings you passed on to me daily. I hope that as you rest, you are assured that I am living accordingly to your wishes and prayers for my future. Rest in power.

10 YEARS AFTER, WITHOUT MY LOVING DAD
March 24, 2023
*10 YEARS AFTER.....ADIEU MY FATHER SAMUEL AKANNI OJO ❤*
Driving back from work on a cold winter night it dawned on me that my dad who had gone to be with the Lord 10 years ago is never coming back! It's really strange because somehow I neverreally did let go... even after all these years. Strangely, it felt like he was still very much around somewhere and will show up one day! I secretly nurtured this thought..... A deep kind of sadness filled my heart as I realized that I won't be seeing my dad again until the resurrection morning! O death where is thy sting!!!!!
Being alone in the car that cold winter night, i shouted...more like screamed Daddy!!!!!! in agony! You are truly gone!!!!! then I shouted Adieu my loving daddy!!!! ADIEU!!! My heart felt so heavy just like the morning you just left us.
Hmmmm Daddy Tosin! Odigbose!!! Odi Oju ala!!! I could not bring my self to refer to you in past tense all these years cos in my deepest heart, I felt you were still here with us... Daddy Oh Daddy!!! how do I begin to describe you to the whole world A man after God's heart, that loves to please God always! You loved God so deeply, it was so evident! And you did pass on the touch!
His type was rare...He loved so hard! Cared so deeply, and the kindest of all!! It's so hard to get over the love you showered on us your children and our mum even after 10 years!! We still relish that love dad! We talk about you all the time... sometimes its so hard that I feel a lump in my throat and my heart gets so tight that I just burst into tears, while other times the memories brings back nostalgic feelings that makes me want to turn back the hands of time! Sometimes too I, mum and my brothers laugh so hard as we remember those times you make some funny moves, faces and jokes just to make us laugh Your grandchildren also talk about you remembering their early days with you and they miss you a lot... Your memory lives on baba mi. Our home was filled with so much love and laughter when growing up. Who will not love a dad or grand-dad like you who is so loving and caring and above all loves God!!! No wonder God called you his beloved before you took the bow!! You were indeed love personified! Your family and all that knew you felt that love, so much.....
SA Ojo it's been 10 solid years without you but we still feel that love you showered on us because you gave us more than enough that will last us a lifetime... you were so so intentional, as if you knew your time with us won't be long! You committed us into the hands of our heavenly father and showed us that he is the father to the fatherless that will always be there to take care of us. Indeed God has been faithful dad! Christ has been our solid rock!
I'm sure you'll be proud of us all if you were still here with us. I and my brothers all turned out well just like you prayed dad! Makes me remember those night vigils we had in our living room and the various teachings just to prepare us for the future and the world at large... just as if you knew you wont be here much longer! Psm 46 was our family's word, we recited it every single day!!! It's still working for us dad! Our mum is also doing great as the husband to the widow has indeed been there for her. Never knew mum was that strong until you left and carried on where you stopped! She's been father and mother, prayerfully guiding us through life and being there for us all 6 children!! I do really admire her strength!!!
Dad, 10 years after, our love for you even continues to wax stronger... no one could fill that vacuum you left behind, the kind of love you shared with us was so rare, except through the father you committed us to. We are grateful dad for all you did and how you and mum taught us that Jesus Christ is our all in all!!!
Keep on enjoying heaven dad! You were a good good man!! And you can never be forgotten... Our children would tell their own children about your love and care... Our generation will forever remember how loving you were...
Looking forward to seeing you on the resurrection morning dad.. You know I'm your girl and my love for you is till eternity❤

*ADIEU MY FATHER ADIEU. 10 YEARS AFTER*
Your first and only daughter Tosin ❤❤❤❤
Driving back from work on a cold winter night it dawned on me that my dad who had gone to be with the Lord 10 years ago is never coming back! It's really strange because somehow I neverreally did let go... even after all these years. Strangely, it felt like he was still very much around somewhere and will show up one day! I secretly nurtured this thought..... A deep kind of sadness filled my heart as I realized that I won't be seeing my dad again until the resurrection morning! O death where is thy sting!!!!!

NINE (9) years after, S.A OJO my loving dad lives on!!!
March 24, 2022
Exactly 9 years ago, the Lord took my dad to be with him. It was indeed a very hard time and the pain was so intense and unbearable! Never thought I could survive those years without you dad! The pain never really goes away...
The Lord has been our strength, helping us through those dark times. He is indeed the father to the fatherless who watches over his own. Thank you Lord for being true to your word!!
Daddy! I, mum & my brothers still feel every bit of the love you showered on us, it's REAL!!! and you gave us more than enough to last us a lifetime. Thank you for showing us TRUE and undiluted love and care, these helped us and still helping us through the years without you. Those beautiful years we spent together are so precious and priceless. We will forever cherish them❤❤❤
You ARE a FATHER like no other, and you are ALIVE in us my handsome, kind hearted, loving and caring daddy! YOU STILL ARE THE BEST OF THEM ALL S.A OJO!
Maasun Olufe, ko si maa sinmi laya Olugbala re until we meet again dad!
Love you till the end of time!
Your one & only daughter❤ Oluwatosin
A letter to my father...after 7 years
March 24, 2020
Dear loving daddy...Today makes it 7 years you joined the saints..though it still feels like yesterday.. we just can't get over all the love and care you showered on us, it seems you knew there wasn't so much time...
I remember today, 7 years ago was the day I was supposed to fly down to see you..I called you the night before telling you how much I love and wanting you to get well quick dad...never knew it was the last call..you couldn't even speak clearly but you made sure I knew you heard me...no matter how sick you were you would always pick my calls...
I was really looking forward to seeing you and went to buy you different gifts...Alas! That same morning around 5am, a call came in that changed my life forever... it was a rude shock..my loving father had gone to join the saints the same day I was supposed to travel down...I staggered and screamed!!!! Fear gripped me!! My Pillar, My Strength, My Father.. who showed us unflinching love had left us.. (thank you for showing us JESUS the PILLAR that lives forever)
I wondered what life will be without you dad..for days, months, years and even now the pain never leaves..it's like a lump in the throat that makes it hard to swallow sometimes, it's also like a little pain in the chest, like a small whole that's empty...which no one can fill daddy! My love for you is unquantifiable.... you were LOVE personified!! An angel that came to lead us on...showed us the way and led us to Christ! Everyone that came in contact with you felt that love dad! I will forever be grateful for all you did for me, my mum and brothers... we will savor it for life!
Akanni oninu re, know this, that our love for you is for life even in death!!
Thank you for showing us the meaning of TRUE & UNDILUTED LOVE... Mum has been awesome! continuing from where you stopped.. she's been father and mother praying in all seasons..what a virtuous woman you had for a wife!
Your LEGACY lives on dad! You live on in us!
The GOD you loved so much and committed us to has always been there for us...the Father to Fatherless always got our back!! We indeed see his wonderful works in all areas of our lives...If not for GOD in our lives...
You were so humble and loving...how can I forget the work you did for the Lord.. going to the church very early to clean and arrange the church before anyone could see you even has a Principal Manager in First Bank....You even bought a megaphone then and will go out early in the morning to preach Jesus in our neighborhood...I see why God called you his BELOVED before you took the bow...You fought a good fight and finished your cause..now you are with the Lord in heaven...that's my only consolation daddy.
ADIEU my father...Loving you is till ETERNITY❤ Maasun laya Olugbala re titi ojo ajinde. We shall surely meet again at the feet of Jesus
Your one & only daughter, Tosin
