What are the odds that you will meet someone, some 33 years ago, who practically shares your name. Folabomi and Solabomi in the P class! So expectedly our names were usually interchanged for the other and I wholeheartedly associated with Solabomi, so much so we called ourselves namesakes anytime either was introducing the other to an acquittance and we had a few opportunities to do so on the job.
Over the last few days I have, unashamedly, questioned God on this sudden irreparable loss. But then I have been reading about you and have found consolation in the fact that you lived well and you loved well. I can attest to your warmth and most certainly your determination, your openness to share and your belief in helping others. We talked about collaborations, this is a very rear gesture in our line of business, but you welcomed it. Very big hearted you were. We talked about life in general.
I also recall when we started the group on Shaggy Impact, you called me and said you wanted to be a part of it, as you wanted to give back. You wanted me to remember to call you once we kicked off.
Our last chat was when we were both searching for a particular TV/Content producer and you ended our conversation with 'this too shall pass" after you asked me how business was going and we both prayed about the pandemic.
Like many others I have struggled with writing you a tribute until this very moment, because it's so, so painful. So painful.
I pray for comfort for your children, siblings and the rest of the family and your friends. I know how hard this is, it brings home a personal loss I suffered some years ago, but I'm convinced that God will help you all and bring you succour when you least expect. Olamitide and William will by God's grace and mercy achieve great feat, they will be positive change agents in their generation. Amen.
May God keep us all.
Goodnight namesake mi. You will be truly missed.
