Aren't we to feel better as the days go by DO? Why does the pain remain?I have transcended a range of emotions in the days since your home calling. Didn't we just have an intercom conference call? Didn't we just exchange banters in the lunch room barely 24 hours before you left us?
Over the years my fascination was with your devotion to your children,work, family, friends and your generosity. I could never stop telling people how great a dad you were to your children. This I saw through your actions over the years.
Your attention to detail gave us peace on every work team as we churned out one official document after the other. Weekday, weekend, it mattered not. We worked, we loved it and the output had to be perfect. Every time. Such a consistent person you were!
A zealous, dedicated and hard working man. You spread yourself and thus had a personal relationship with just about everyone of us at work. You knew our spouses and children, even by name. It's unbelievable that one man could spread himself so. A true mark of your generosity.
You were at every send forth held for members of my team. And I recall sitting opposite you at your desk several times , seeking brotherly advice on managing teams effectively and retaining staff. You were always genuinely interested in contributing positively. You had faith in me and my team every step of the way and you went out of your way to ensure you interacted with each member of my team at every point in time.
The impact of this loss is immense. To your family, to your best friends , to your old school mates , to our beloved ARM. I sit here and wonder how we will make it without you here in person. Surely, there is trepidation- but His peace that transcends all understanding garrisons our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Despite this searing pain, I rest assured that our Father's eyes are on Ireoluwa, who lovingly calls my Morenikeji her "baby sister", and Bisi- your peaceful beautiful partner and Pekun, your calm dependable best mate.
Rest in Him who loves you most, He who loves you best, He who has all the answers to our questions. Sun re o egbon.
