TRIBUTE TO MY HUSBAND
June 23, 2020
My darling Akanni, Olorunwa, Sunday, Baba Ayodele!
These are just some of the many, many names I called several times at your bedside in your last moments - you will forever remain in my heart, Akanni.
Today I am in a lonely place longing for the one I loved so dearly – we shared so many dreams, laughed together and walked together for the last 35 years. You have always been my home.
I am grateful to God, the alpha and omega, for orchestrating our life together and for making our married life colorful.
My darling husband - I thank you for being a special husband to me and a caring father to our daughter.
Akanni, I cannot even begin to name all your great attributes in this life, because there are so many.
You are a wonderful husband and an excellent father who always wanted the best for us. Your faith was outstanding and one of your favorite things to say was “God can supply all our needs and God has never failed us.” We are keeping the faith now Akanni.
Sunny, you are a man of God, an excellent worker, so loyal and true, just in judgment and always fair. You would always say to me, “Yinka let’s do the right thing” and this has remained as the theme and character of our family.
An honest and liberal man, ever upright, you are loved by your friends and all whom you know. We will miss you so much.
Akanni, I love you.
You have always been a peace-loving person, and I feel at peace knowing that you are in a better place. Our daughter and I will continue the great legacy you left behind.
Goodbye, my dear husband, friend, confidant and mentor. God bless you.
