Dear Grandpa,
I wish I had gotten to know you a lot better because I have heard a lot of wonderful stories about you. You will be in our hearts forever and I'll see you in about 80 years or so. Lots of love ~ Aisha ❤️

Dear Dad - you are forever living on in our hearts and minds. Today in our minds, you became grandpa to another beautiful baby girl from Seyi and Zulaiha. I wish you were here and I miss you so much!
Rest in peace - you are forever missed!

Live on uncle in the hearts of all the people that knew and loved you. You were like a father to me and the memory held of you is that of a kind, gentle and hard working man. Your time was short but it was well spent, You loved your family and loved God which was in itself an epistle that I read and which left an indelible mark in my life. Thank God for the life you lived and for the mark you made. Much as we wished you were still here, God knows best. Live on in the bosom of God.

I remember how kind and gentle you were. I felt like a daughter even though I was just your daughter's BFF. Once you talked with me about the importance of being kind to strangers and doing something positive for someone everyday. I remember asking if I had to go look for someone to be nice to and worried about being taken advantage of. But you said if I desired it enough, God would allow people with needs find me. You also said we have to wake up each morning determined to do something good for someone besides ourselves (I paraphrase) and it did not matter if the person was unappreciative because we would be doing it as unto God. I will never forget that.

My Dear Dad, there is not one day that goes by that I do not think of you or feel you by my side. I miss your physical presence!
Thanks you for all the love, laughter and compassion you taught me.
I love you.

Dad, your light was burning so brightly yesterday just as Mom’s is burning bright today. The “synchronicities” that happened and continues to happen are clear signs that you both are always here… just a thought away.
Forever missed

Little lady

I remember when I was about 5, you came home with a family friend of ours (can’t recall his name any more) and said you had a very important job for a really special girl... me!
I was super-excited and kept asking what it was, but you said I would need to come with you and your friend to fulfill that special task that only I could perform. I remember smiling all through the short trip in the back seat of the car, filled to the brim with enthusiasm.
Turns out, the friend had locked himself out of their family home and the only way in was through a tiny bathroom window that only I (of course) could fit through. With your usual gentle guidance, I fit perfectly through the tiny window into the bathroom, landed on the thankfully closed toilet seatand made my way to the front door to open it. I remember feeling invincible, joyful and euphoric the whole day! You were so proud of me and I must say that was probably one of my best childhood memories of our time together :)
Miss you but glad I can still reach you in my very quiet moments

Others passed, my friends parents passed, even your friends that I knew did as well but when The Almighty decided that it was you next, we didnt plan for it, we didnt think it would ever be your turn, at least not just yet........then you left...........*uncontrolled tears* ...........It was only then that your departure brought me to this rude awakening that I would leave as well one day. That event changed my life forever, I was more aware of my life, your exit, my purpose and most of all, death. I'm more thankful than sad that I was alive to witness you leave..maybe I wouldn't have had the kind of understanding I required to thrive here (loosing someone so so close. My daddy. I was your black queen..iyem). I only miss you. 

I thought I was strong till I saw uncle Mutiu early this year.......For a moment there, I thought it was you * uncontrolled tears* .....then I broke down realising it was your brother. He consoled me just the way you would have. I couldn't help it bit tears kept pouring.... I couldn't even greet him well. I cried till he left. I thank Allah for choosing you as my daddy. 

I see you in my dreams and you always look happy....I guess. There was once I saw you all dressed up in your shinny light blue agbada and you gave us money for eid/salad.  

I'm ok now. I've stopped crying so I guess I'll stop typing now. Alhamdulillah rubbil a ala min. 

I pray you remain in peace forever amin.innalillah wa inna ilayhi raajiun.  From Him we came and to Him we shall all return.
