Tribute to Big Mummy

Big mummy, you left without even giving me the chance to say goodbye. As sad as it is, I can’t blame you because I know how hard goodbyes are. This message isn’t a goodbye message to you but a message for you reliving all our memories because I know this isn’t the end.
I will still see you, it will not be now but later on when I’m looking through my pictures and I see your face, I’ll see you when I’m watching the good doctor remembering how we started it together and I promised to finish it with you (even though I already finished it), I’ll see you when I pray because I know you are in a better place watching over us all and you were a proud preacher of God’s word. I’ll see you when I’m in Nigeria and in the UK because wherever you’ve been, you’ve left it better than you found it. I will see you in everyone you’ve come in contact with because your legacy lives on.

I remember when you built cornerstone, we were all so excited. We made plans that we would have sleepovers in your house every weekend to spend time with you, play games and do things together, I’m so glad we got to have them. I can’t lie, this is still all a big nightmare I hope to wake up from because there’s nothing I want more than to hear you say “Ajike mi” or “Oyinoo”, you even promised to come visit me in Canada with big daddy.

I don’t want this message to be too long, I just want to say how much I love you and how empty everything feels without you. I miss you more every day and I will love you forever.
Oyinkansola Idowu.
