You were quintessential of a Father, Husband,Son,Uncle,Brother,Boss,Mentor, Colleague,Friend and so many more,you wore all hats so perfectly ❤️
Uncle you are a strong force to reckon with,
You are IRREPLACEABLE.
I looked forward to every december period for Christmas because it was an opportunity to see everyone again as we were the only family member in the North (kaduna),my brother keeps saying those were one of his best Christmas as little as he was then, we would all gather in your house and merry,you hosted a lot of us at the same time,we were sure that you were going to spoil us silly and enjoy so many things,your house was one of those top houses I was free in,we could go to any room and anywhere we wanted to,there was no limit,Different scenerio keeps playing in my head where we talked even as a young girl, I remember the day you and grandma came to pick us at the park in Ibadan, I also remember how you fondly called me 'My Chinese girl',times when you took us to the beach and we were all happy especially my brothers and I as we don't see something like this where we are (Kaduna state),I remembered my mom didn't want us to go, but you were like she should allow us because it wasn't a site we see often,I remembered you telling me to do well in my J.WAEC and that you were going to tell my mom to bring me to Lagos for the holiday,You always bought something for my siblings and I everytime you traveled out,I remember this particular pink blouse you bought for me,I wore it almost every time then except to take a bath,A time came my mom had to hide it because I over wore the blouse, it looked so good on me,I remember the several things (toys,clothes) I always got from you,ahh I'm hurt .I still remember your phone number till date.
I also remember you asking me what university and career and i wanted to do,I remember messing around with your car key remote sensor,I remember some songs that played from your car that I still sing till date,I remember the cross over service we had together, I sat close to you, I remember the family morning devotion in your house where everyone was there, I remember when you were sleeping at a time and I came to disturb you playing in your ears and you just looked at me and went to another room,I remember the day you dropped us at the park,I still remember very clearly seeing you,as we waved each other from the bus after you gave my siblings and I money, I remember when you'll call my mom and we would all be itching to talk to you,we wanted you to hear our voice.
uncle you were a good man,I know if you were here, our lives would have been more transformed than it,you were the people's people,you valued family ties so much, speaking of you in past tense hurts deeply,only Jesus can fix me, I miss you so much and I'm not sure I'll ever recover from this,I just have to learn to live with this wound,you were that GLUE that held us all together,
I really had so much hope that you were coming back to us, I didn't think it was going to end this way,We envisaged a miracle,
but in all I am super honoured to be your Niece, your name is forever in the my heart .
I take solace in the fact that you have joined the clouds of witnesses,where there's no more sorrow,no more pain,no more crying, where there is joy and peace in the presence of God.
We would see again when Jesus calls us home or when He comes to take the saints (rapture),I just have to strive to make sure I make it to heaven where you are,so we can fellowship together.
It really seems like a long time from now,but comparing it to the time we have to spend in eternity, it's no long time at all.
I take comfort in this.
Rest in perfect peace
Thank you so much for FIGHTING
My mommy (your sister) used to tell us stories of risks you took when you were younger,it indeeds shows you are a strong man.
I love you so much Uncle and I'll do everything humanly possible to have you with us. I wished this tears would stop rolling down.
Till the resurrection morning
I am glad and thankful to God for giving me a relationship/tie with you, I am honoured to be your niece.
Forever in my heart,
Your Chinese Girl,as you fondly called me
I Love You.
