*Tribute to Late Uncle Lawrence Odusi*
Death is inevitable, it is a journey that everyone must take. As humans we wish it wasn’t a part of life, we wish we would just stay alive on earth with our near and dear ones not dying forever. Unfortunately, we cannot. Our prayer is that we fulfill our days on earth before our time is up.
Uncle( with the Nigerian accent ), as we generally call you, a lot of memories I don’t know where to start from. You were a great uncle and a great father and you were so fun to be around. Always a chilled person with a warm smile. You were kind, hospitable, loving and generous, and we all loved you very much. You provided for your family and raised four children. You fought your sickness to the end and now you are in a better place. May the Lord be with you and with your spirit. I’ll miss you a lot. I remember the last time I was in Lagos and how you were always teasing me asking if I’ve shaved my beards and I was dodging you so I could grow my beards in quote. If only I had known that was the last time I’d see you. Your last words to me was “Be careful as you go out oo, come back safe” that was the day I went out with Sike to go get somethings for Dad, you knew I could drive but your care is always top notch. Always ready to advice me and direct me spiritually. The virtue I learnt the most from you is humility, wouldn’t want to go further, those that know you better know what I’m taking about.
When I heard you were sick, I prayed for you but God saw that you were getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
and whispered, “Come with Me.” with tearful eyes, we saw you in pains. Although we love you dearly, We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating.
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes “The Best”.
RIP to A Strong Man ❤️
Till we meet in heaven,
You’re forever in our hearts.
Bye bye Sir.
