TRIBUTE TO MY LOVING DAD



4/03/2013

They say if you write about your grief, it heals faster. I have written a lot, just like you I love to express my  thought through writing, I remember, we found some of your amazing poems with your beautiful hand writing, beautifully written daddy. Beautifully written. If I could write to you and tell you how much I hurt daily, it won’t help much, you know why? Because I guess you know that already dad.
This life is pointless dad, because if I could wake up someday and someone like you would be gone, then what is the point of these struggles, it all seems pointless to me.
You know we have this horrible ache in our heart that we have tried so hard to keep and not make it so obvious, to say I miss you everyday is not just mere words, it is the only thing I can think about, now I sit at my table and I remember the day your calls came in and you told me Seyi Olaleye- I saw your name in the papers and when I told my friends they were surprised you saw my name because of the long list ,it just show your dedication to the success of your children .You loved us dad, and you proved that in a lot of ways.
The evil people came at some point and they tried all they could to turn you against us, but because you had a conscience you couldn’t ,although those were your low moments and I struggled to forgive you, all the same the love I have for you wont let me stay angry at you for long, you were a true rare gem, so that why your departure makes it almost impossible to breath sometimes, sometimes I imagine you alone on the other side, because we are your family, and you are no longer with us, but I pray that you are with Jesus now, because that is your real family, He is the one who truly loves you even more than we do, so I take great consolation in the fact that you are part of his angels now, doing far greater good than you did while on earth, I can only imagine how good you will feel singing with the angels.
So sing on daddy till we meet to part no more at the feet of Jesus our Lord. Love you forever
