Granny we had our moments and we got more closer than when you were in Nigeria and I have no doubt that you have gone to be with the Lord Jesus. Your passing was sudden and came as a shock but in Job 1:27  And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Who are we to question God..Rest on and Adieu Granny and thanks for all that you did for my family. You will be solely missed.

The news of your demise was a shock to me. Saw you last early last year before you travelled to Canada. Is that how people die? The few years I knew you in church livingstone Baptist festac. You were a kind hearted woman.
I still fathom the fact you're not coming back.

May your gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Almighty God, where there's no death, no pain, no sorrow. Amen

Your sudden exist left a big vacuum in my heart. I couldn't believe it. I thought I saw a strange name cause I spoke with you few days before and as usual we had some plans for the future. Our discussions never ended. Our friendship has been of long and we traveled the world together. We lived close to each other and visited each other frequently. This means I have no more friend to visit when I'm back. You were the quiet one whose advices I cherished very much. Well, God our creator knows why he took you so soon. May the Angels welcome you with open arms in paradise. You will ever be remembered by my children and I.

I know you're in a better place. May the Lord grant those you left behind the fortitude to bear this loss

Rest in peace Mommy.

Cant believe you're gone, it's more like a dream. It's still challenging to come to terms with your passing Anti Lanre. I also cant believe I'm writing this... a huge lump is in my throat as l fight the tears threatening to fall anyway..... You played an enormous role in the woman l am today. Thank you for being there all the time for me. I love you dearly but God loves you most. He took you home when we least expected. I'm sure you will live forever in the hearts of the several lives you touched. My only consolation is that you're in a better place with our Lord Jesus. I will greatly miss your humorous jokes, tales and smiles. I cherished your memory forever in my heart. Sun re o!!!

Started off with a bit of hope despite the multiple seizures indeed scary I haven't seen anything like these seizures before. You had me running round the wards looking for the nurses on duty at about 2am. You were jerking so bad and spilling out vegetable and black blood and some funny breathing sounds I prayed, I wept, finally the medication kicked in and you were calm I would never forget how I kept peeping to check the rhythm of your breathing finally it was morning all your loved ones kept coming to visit you, tears rolled down your comatose eyes a couple of times, you blinked once for yes and 2ice for no segun spoke to you to try to bring you back but no luck the neurologist came to assess you, in her report, she mentioned things I haven't heard before 
She said it could be 3 things either:
COVID which was negative at the time 
A shortage in the vessel carrying blood or oxygen
Or a leakage 
She suggested you do an MRI to ascertain what what was making you brain-dead (loss of neural activity she called it)
Seconds turned to long hours loved ones kept visiting 
It was quite a peaceful night leading to a busy day however not knowing what was about to hit us we set out for the MRI iyabeji ogunyemi was accompanied me to clinix

I miss my therapist, my confidant, my angel, my peace

I still remember every detail by the hour of occurrence. I came to the house to check on you and you could barely recognise me except for my voice you tried to act like you were fine and I knew something was seriously wrong with you.
From missing your mouth while eating to looking for your phone which was right in front of you to your inability to recognise the most famous busstop in Lagos. You even manipulated the tests at eye foundation just to make me calm. I remember you said you could see a bright light if only I knew it was "that" light but I won't have done anything different anyways I'm super glad I was with you through it all at dinner time things got scarier and you confessed to your inability of seeing anything at all not knowing I was beside you you couldn't even see me or perceive me. Each time I go to my toilet I still have flashbacks of how I backed you to the the toilet 
Rushed you to the nearest hospital where you said the last meaningful words to me before having a stroke ( " o se to wa gbe mi o) it wasn't like anything I've seen in my entire life, you murmured somewords and instantly you lost control of your limbs and that was the beginning of your last hours
I was also admitted after experiencing shock but my health dint even matter at that moment
