Today make exactly TWO years you goneđź’”
There are simply no words to capture what you meant to me or convey the full weight of my grief over your passing. When I met you over 7 years ago I knew at once, that I had struck gold and I know many men have a wonderful wife but no one has ever had a better one than I. For OPEYEMI you were simply amazing – beautiful, witty, highly intelligent, quirky, stubborn and always immense fun to be with. I am grateful for every minute we had together.
We shared a friendship, a bond that no one else can understand and together we tore down barriers of creed, tribe and culture that threatened to keep us apart and at once turned all of it into love and laughter and oneness. You always said family mattered most and you embraced mine so intimately that you easily passed for a daughter to my parents and to my siblings. You were humble, faithful, efficient, and true and in your unassuming way, made everything around you beautiful.
you were my everything. My happiest years were those spent with you. You gave me the experience of being clearly understood, truly supported and completely and utterly loved. You inspired me in ways I cannot explain. You were my number one fan, blowing my trumpet the loudest. When I was worried, you said it would be ok. When I wasn’t sure what to do, you figured it out. When things were difficult you were a pillar. And even there on your sick bed when I neared my wits end, you would hold my hand, touch my beards and reassure me that everything would be okay.
I will mourn this death for the rest of my life.” But I will not stay drained by grief. I assure you that I will be strong for our daughter,and that together, we shall make you proud.
With all my heart,
Rest on dear
