A Remembrance on Your Birthday
Hey Bayo,
Happy birthday! Happy birthday! On this special day, I wish to let you know that you are not forgotten. You are in my daily thoughts and I miss you a lot. You may not be physically here with me, but I know that you, papa, mama, Niyi and Nola are watching over me. Your birthday is always a fond reminder that you were a brother who selflessly gave without expecting anything in return. You sacrificed so much to make certain that I realized my academic goals.
On this special day I miss our phone conversations. Your voice was always a source of encouragement and comfort. I will never forget your phone calls on my birthday. I miss hearing your voice and the pleasure derived from anticipating those early morning calls.
On this special day, I miss our talks and walks whenever I visited home. Our meals together and conversations were always graced and filled with warmth and love. The evening walks down and beyond Anjo street were enjoyable and a constant reminder that I was home. I cannot forget the times we went to Victoria Club just to be with each other and enjoy our times together.
Even when I am faced with life’s challenges, I know that you are with me. I will always love you and will continue to do so.
Happy….Happy….Happy….Happy….Birthday!
Love you,
Jide
