IN LOVING MEMORY OF A DEAR FRIEND...........RIP MANASSEH!
08:22
Manasseh!
I always felt I was all strong and tough, I felt I had seen
the worse of things in life. But I thought wrong. This is the hardest I have
ever dealt with in life. Your death hit me the hardest!
11months! Just eleven months have I known you. Yet your
effect on me is one of a lifetime!
Since your demise, I have learnt to live each day as a
blessing, knowing that life can be taken in the blink of an eye. No matter our
plans in life, only God knows when a person will have to say goodbye.
I have come to realize that how long we live on earth doesn’t
matter. The year/age a person dies matters not to God, but how many lives he
has impacted and how well he lived the short period.
You were a good man! You placed humility first in everything
you did. You were kind, sincere, respectful and ready to help anybody in
need/distress. I find comfort in knowing that you lived a good life.
“The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one!”
A heart so pure like yours reconfirmed that angels really did
exist in human form. I wonder why bad things happen to the good ones on earth.
But in all, my only explanation to why you had to die so
young is that;
“the angels looked down from heaven one night, they searched for miles afar, and deep within the distance they could see a shining star. They knew that very instant that was theirs to gain, because it was too bright for such an evil world, so they took the star (you) up to heaven forever to remain”.
In heaven, I trust, you’re still the friend I know. I pray
you remember my name, when I call out to yours. I hope you still smile and
laugh, when I crack jokes the wrong way.
It’s hard to face that you are really gone, and I will never
see you again.
In our short time together, all the memories we had, will
last in my heart forever. Your name, your voice, your smile, your laughter, all
these I will never forget.
Gone from the world ain’t gone from my heart!
Death may have succeeded in snatching you away from the
world, but never from my heart.
I miss you!
May God grant your family the fortitude to bear this great
loss!
May God pardon and overlook all your shortcomings and make
you sit right by his side in heaven!
Rest In Peace my dear Manasseh Oladele Oladeji.
