This little girl has gone for extra lessons for my forthcoming entrance examination into the university in my elder sister's place. I was sleeping that night when I saw my Dad in a white cloth telling me he was oh his way home and I asked what home, then a thunder striked as if it was about to rain heavily, then I became sleepless that I had to run to my sister to share my dream and we prayed about it. The following morning, the sudden death of my father was revealed to us. We cried our eyes out that day because this man was a hero to us, a super Dad, any child would ever pray to have.
Rest in peace, my beloved Dad
So, if I have every opportunity to bring back a thing, I would bring back my Dad because he was a super Dad, a rare gem, a giver, a lover of God. My Dad was there for everyone around him, he never gave a room to only my children, everyone was his own, and he died just like that, without reaping the fruits of his labour. My Dad worked for all of us to get to where we are today. It pains my heart that he was unable to taste part of his sweat. How can we forget building a hostel for other people's children without collecting a dime?
My father was a disciplinarian, but we love him like that. he moulded us into becoming somebody, and we have become somebody in life. All kudos to his training and discipline. How can I not bring a good soul who deserves to live above 120 years to
Live again? Dad tried his best to monitor our academic performances despite his busy schedule. I remember him telling me to attend his Alma Mater for my university, which was the great Osun State University, and I said yes, not knowing he wouldn't live to see me at the university😭
I remember how we used to wait for him before we ate, how I wouldn't sleep until he got back from work. A loving father who's a good shepherd. Bringing you back to life will be my utmost joy. You were a vacuum that nobody has ever been able to fill since you left, my all and my everything. I miss him so dearly, and I wish he were still living to eat the fruits of his labour.
May your soul continue to rest in perfect peace, dear father
Today, I remember how lucky I was to have you as my father as long as I did. You were my guiding light, and I'm so proud of you, Dad. The value you instilled in us cannot be overemphasised; you made us follow in your path,, which we never regretted for once. You sacrificed a whole lot for us, I can't quantify how much I missed you. As much as I'm not with you, I'm so excited that you are at peace.
