WHEN DO WE MEET AGAIN, UNCLE NIYI ?
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
I am so indebted to you Uncle Niyi.
For all the love, advice, and encouragement to me and my family, am grateful.
My Uncle and Daddy, you saw road where others see blockade. You saw possibilities where others see impossibilities. You saw success where others see failure. You found energy where others are tired. You gave joy and happiness to all and sundry.
So short a time here with us. We will miss you so much.
God saw more of you, He had a greater plan. We will never forget you.
You'll always live in our heart, and with you smiling down on us, we will never part.
One day the tears will stop, and the hurt we feel may end, but you will always live on in our hearts. We shall meet once more, to part no more.
Your smile we will see again. You've just started what we all long for, A life in heaven that has no end. And though the world is a little darker without you to light up our days, we will see you smile forever in the twinkling stars and shining sun's rays.
Uncle, we think about you always, We talk about you still.
You have never been forgotten, And you'll never will. We can never forget you.
We hold you dear and close within our hearts, And there you will remain,
to walk and guide us through our lives.
There are truly NO words to explain the tremendous loss your unexpected and sudden call to rest brought to us.
And though I'm full of sadness that you're no longer here, your influence still guides me, And i still feel you near.
Wherever you are in Paradise, you are gone but will NEVER be forgotten.
Uncle, you won't have wished to go, but the best one can do is to keep on living and praying, knowing fully well that even in the midst of life, we are in death.
The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain, but you're forever in my heart, and these special memories of yours will always bring smile.
Some people only knew you loved me and never knew why i was so fond of you. You loved me so much so, that you frankly talked to me the way it is. Sometimes i cried, sometimes i did not. Nobody knew you intercepted and did all humanly possible to save me from committing suicide when i thought all hopes were lost. You drew me closer to you and promised not to let me take the ungodly and unholy stride. How can i ever forget you. I shall forever remember and be grateful to you.
I have since resigned myself to fate and the Unquestionable God who loves you more before calling you to His side.
"ACROSS THE BRIDGE, THERE'S NO MORE SORROW
ACROSS THE BRIDGE, THERE'S NO MORE PAIN
THE SUN WILL SHINE ACROSS THE RIVER
AND YOU'LL NEVER BE UNHAPPY AGAIN".

May the souls of the departed through the mercy of God rest in peace, Amen.
Until we meet again, my beloved uncle 'Niyi, REQUIESCANT IN PACE PERFECTA.
