Certainly, death is inevitable! Every living soul has its death coupon already issued depending on when, where and how. But it is most certain that we will all embark on that eternal journey someday. In spite of this, we still grieve when we lose our beloved ones, particularly, my dear sweet mother.
Indeed, the sorrow of losing you, is to the extreme and an emotionally severe one.
Gmam, as you were fondly called. I am really saddened and grieving over your demise.
I am just wondering where else we can get the heartfelt love and care you lavished on us?. Anyway, we take solace in the fact that you lived a good life. Alife that we are all proud of.
Mamma, you’ve been the source of my progress, cheerfulness, courage, and a strong pillar upon which I rest. You taught me to be generous and God fearing, even when you were bed-bound and could not talk, you beckoned on me to do good to others, you prayed for me even when I could not comprehend what you were saying, but seeing you raising your hands up is explicitly and unambiguously clear to me that, you were praying for me.
When you left us, I was comforted to some extent when I heard people around us emotionally proclaiming the same songs with us that they’ve lost a pillar, meaning; you’ve been a pillar to all and sundry not only to us your children.
I’m indeed very grateful to you and I pray to God to accept all your good deeds and forgive your wrongs. May He also accept and reward us abundantly for all we’ve done to give comfort.
”My Lord and Sustainer! Be kind and have mercy on you as you cherished, nurtured and sustained me in childhood.” Mamma you were sick, bedbound, and shuttling from one hospital and medical facility to another all looking for how your sickness can be cured not knowing it will be the cause of your death. For about two consecutive months, it has been one sickness or the other until you departed
without saying goodbye.
Tears drifts down my face as I’m writing this piece with my heart fiery from the innermost, telling me that, from now on, I will spend the rest of my life here on earth without my loving, caring, and encouraging mother. It’s really an irreparable loss which has created a vacuum that cannot be filled.
I fervently pray that, all you’ve prayed for us during your lifetime continue to follow us until our last breath. I can’t finish this without appreciating all those that stood with us at the time of our grief. No doubt, your presence and outpoured prayers and consolations via direct calls, text massages, and on social media was overwhelming, calming, and encouraging. I really can’t thank you enough
but I pray to God to reward you abundantly and may He continue to keep us together and forgive our sins.
Adieu Mamma! Continue to Rest in Peace until we meet to part no more.
Your Son,
Adetokunbo Adedeji
