TINUOLA.


Dear Friend,

You left without saying goodbye….. your family said you knew it was time…but to me, you left suddenly. Babe, you promised me something and obviously, you cannot fulfill it anymore and as I type this, I weep; I feel my head ache after so much tears but I still cry. It hurts me that I could not come for your baby’s dedication several months ago but I could spare time for a condolence visit now that you are no more. I AM SO SORRY!

Celebrating you as your mother said, I came to identify the joy of you being among the lucky few who were given “notice period” for their end date….and as a sharp babe, you made peace with all men and with your creator; I know that you are with Christ. I am still here in this sinful world wondering what tomorrow will bring meanwhile, because of His love for you, He has saved you from further pain.

This is my way of bidding you farewell my dear friend, this is to say “death where is your sting”. I pray none of your family or friend will have to go this way, your death sends a message to us all; it says

·         It could be sudden, it could be gradual, we will leave one day; where am I going to spend my eternity?

·         Go for cancer screening, there is no age that is too young.

AND I STILL WEEP; I WILL MISS YOU MY FRIEND.
