Do you see how we mortals make plans,but GOD ALMIGHTY YAHWEH sure has THE FINAL say,hum. I was unusually looking forward to this years Fathers Day,just for two reasons,1,To celebrate My dad 2,I already had & knew what I wanted to post to celebrate the many strong women who are now turned men( Fathers) in various Families for roles of Fathers played. But you see.... Thanks Yemi for your sincere tribute,I felt the sincerity in all you wrote & I cried well reading through. With time I got to know Daddy has many many many children. Do you know that dad treated us all with same Love? I wish to read someone's tribute and if not,no wahala. I wish to read Bimbo's tribute.She is one daughter, Dad never ever hid his love for. We saw Dad ystrdy,it was a fresh crying day again ystrdy morning. It is well. Sleeping is something,as I just wish Daddy was still alive or that someone came to tell Me down,he had little more time to live. Dad told Me to bring him fried fish and moimoi,he told Me this the Wednesday before he passed on. On Thursday he went out,even to the hospital for check up.On Friday,very early in d morning,mum asked if I could come make him lunch and I said,I will,cos she was to attend late Baba Ande's burial. Just some few minutes later,mum called to say,Ma bo nisin. Kai thank GOD,GOD SPIRIT held Me well,cos I instantly knew something was wrong,for it to have been mum calling Me. I was damn confused & fearful,as I walked up & down,up and down,uptil My daughter shouted and said,"Mum please stop". I knew mum's call had something to do with My dad & behold,I was so right. When I returned home that evening TiKristi ran to meet Me by the gate and he asked,"Mum is it true? I mean Grandpa". As I said yes,he ran off inside the house crying.I have heard of young children who had special bounds with Dad,that their parents had to pray and specially sit them down to tell them of Dad's passing.Two in ilorin & mum too knows they loved dad( they are undergraduates) and one in Akure.They might be more though. Whenever any child was angry with dad & he just effortlessly said,"Am sorry please forgive Me" I just used to wonder,cause all dad wanted was peace in the home. My Dad sure ran a good race of Life,he fought well and conquered gallantly. Omo Balogun,I miss you beyond words.I hope the pains of your sudden departure,will reduce I pray but I know you wldn't ever be forgotten Bami owon. You did well Sir. You touched every Life GOD passed through you very positively. Dad on Earth today is Fathers Day o, what's the menu in Heaven today for FATHERS DAY??? Lol. Greetings to Dad Laka Dad Adebowale,Dad Alabi,Dad Fatosin, Dad Suberu & other good dad's in Heaven. I am reluctant to stand up and check for the list of names you wrote of your departed loved ones,even an igbo Pst's name is there too.

The first is Dad Odedokun,Hum we fondly call Dad O,and Dad Okikiade who hasn't taken your departure well at all. Please LORD help Me sleep small too now o.
