You will forever be my bestie and you know it…
Our sisterhood began in boarding school when we were 12 years old at GGSS Kawo Kaduna, in form one pink! Folks who now perceive me as being a good friend have no clue that you are the reason why. Although, we came from completely opposite backgrounds, (You from Lagos and say earring, and I from Kaduna/Ogbomosho and I say Yeti and get laughed at and wonder why). I am extremely fortunate to have been exposed to your gift of kindness and your consideration for others. You influenced and forced me to emulate your great character.
Funmi, I must say, I am a better human being because of you.
Ore mi atata, my sista-friend, sun re o, mo de tun dupe ojo o. Mo ni igbagbo wipe a o pade l’ese Jesu, nibiti a ki yio ya ara wa. By association at school, I sure caused you many punishments because we were best friends and you always had my back. You are the definition of true friendship and you never met a stranger. You mastered friendship at a very early age and continued to do so as an adult. I shall surely miss our four to five hour phone conversations while on two different time zones. My girls and sisters miss their “Aunty London” already. We thank God Almighty for allowing our paths to cross. Ore mi, No more pain, no more medications and hospitals, you are with our Father Lord, the Alpha and Omega; you are all healed, looking radiant and gorgeous and all decked out per usual. You know how I do girl, when it comes time to say good-bye; please do not expect me to change now … Rest In Peace.
The heavens already know that you have arrived, therefore, they must know how to chant you;“Yago l’ona, yago l’ona, Eweje mbo….”❤️
