Memories of Zacchaeus Otitoju Salami

My heart bleeds

January 29, 2022

I have been dreading the month of February like a plague. Because then, it will be one year without you dad, I wish I can hold the days, the hours to stay STILL. I used to be able to find solace in watching your videos and looking at your pictures but now all I do is cry when I see your pictures. It's like my pain magnified instead of getting better. I thought d saying was "time heals wounds", it's not healing mine. I miss you more, think of you more, cry more in the privacy of my heart. You remain with me dad, FOREVER.

Jealous of the Angels (Song by Donna Taggart)

April 12, 2021

I didn't know today would be our last
Or that I'd have to say goodbye to you so fast
I'm so numb, I can't feel anymore
Prayin' you'd just walk back through that door

And tell me that I was only dreamin'
You're not really gone as long as I believe

There will be another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight

You always made my troubles feel so small
And you were always there to catch me when I'd fall
In a world where heroes come and go
Well God just took the only one I know
So I'll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day, when I see your face again
But until then

God must need another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight

Singin' hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight

Tribute to ZOT Salami

Mr. Salami was indeed a man I respected so much in Boc I served as an accounts clerk under him for seven yrs.He is very strict u need to put your tie and be neat he will do an inspection without u knowing he trained us to manage money and people. He knows the handwriting of every staff of boc an extremely careful and intelligent human being.He exposed me to all accounting procedures of boc and made my transfer to the North possible. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Tribute to my Grandfather.

The news of your demise came as a huge shock to me Grandpa. I never felt that a day like this could come. Thank you for the lessons you thought me as a little child. You taught me the value of contentment. You taught me so many other things and I carry those teachings where I ever I find myself. You were always such an ever-smiling man enjoying the company of your loved ones. I remember being so excited to come and visit you and Grandma at iyana paja, and how you will be so eager to have us. My mother and her siblings always shared some experiences of how you made them into the responsible people that they are today. You must have been a pretty awesome dad! I could testify to that because you were also an awesome Grandfather. I love you so much, but God loves you more. Thank you for everything sir

Rest in peace Grandpa,

Love from Ope
