Hello Daddy,
I'm supposed to write this tomorrow but, today will be just fine
I still remember 24th of this month last year, when I heard about your death. The day was so bright, we were eager to see you again, only for us to be informed in the night that you passed away...part of me broke;
'Daddy is dead!!!' I couldn't believe it.
I cried for hours until sleep came, but it was only for a short while. Hearing how you had a car accident on your way back from the crusade in Benue, going through excruciating pains before you died, broke my heart. Even though i realized that you were gone forever, I was still happy that you died peacefully and, most importantly, with Jesus. I didn't wait for anybody to tell me that...God just did; first the rain that fell immediately, and the peace we all had.
I imagined you walking without limping, and also seeing without glasses in Heaven. A week or two before you died, the way you constantly talked about death, Heaven and Hell, especially Heaven was different from any other day.
I remembered when I was a toddler, you will always put old gospel music, and I fell in love with them.
Your love for Christ was truly amazing. No pretense at all, just pure love. That's the kind of character I want to have for the rest of my life.
Your love for family and people around you was also amazing; that's the kind of character I also want to have for the rest of my life.
And just like you use to say;
"This world is not our home, whether we like it or not, we will all go. Please, don't miss Heaven".
Till we meet again, my dear father, at the feet of Jesus💖✨.
Yanzun ne nake da dama
In raira maka yabo
Watarana, watarana bani✨✨
