Who is this tribute for? Oluwole..How can it be?
February 25, 2021
Oh! what a rude awakening it was when my hubby called about the news of your demise. Hard to process, head spinning, the agony of the pain felt was indescribable in this house.
You and Ayo were like peas in a pod, rolled together despite the thousands of miles between you. Memories of about 18 years I have known you flood my mind. A constant factor you were in our lives. Your words to me, your humility, simplicity and gratitude for little things keep coming back. To think you called me 3 days before your call to glory, encouraging and thanking me for looking after your friend, only for this to happen. Oh! death where is thy sting!
I’m grateful for the friendship you and Ayo shared. Wole, your dedication to God was inspiring, frequently fasting and communing with your maker. Oh, how we loved to talk about academics and career progression during your numerous stay at our place. We joined in your love of ‘Shark Tank’ TV programme. You and Damy were avid Chelsea fans.Each October we know to expect and prepare for your visit...hmm, the children will miss you. I know you would have smiled when you heard my conversation with them stating they now have another sister and their response was, ‘was she not our sister before?’
You spared nothing to ensure our comfort during the few times I visited naija with the children. Sweet memories of our last visit in 2019 with the kids and Olayinka..
What more can be said, the master strategist, you chose to exit this space on our anniversary as if our lives are not intertwined enough. Forever you will be in our hearts to love and cherish.
John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, though he dies”
Good night Wole, rest in the bosom of our Lord!
