In Memory of...

just received news that a classmate in UNI just past away.

i'm seriuosly trying to understand. i do sha...

Ochamps is gone.

we were not close chum chum people but we always had good conversations.

soft spoken guy with a chipped front tooth.

not loud or rascally.

thing is it is when someone dies people tend to remember only the good sides.

expressions like ohhhhhh and aeya and wat a shame and all that are like the first words and sounds from mouths.

it's at times like this that one should remember the mortality of man. me. us. we. them. everyone.
thing is we forget after a week or less.

GOD'S CREATION

there was a time in my life that i'd hear someone past on and i'd just be like ok. not the first definately not the last. i was kinda indifferent. then i, meaning my wall, started to break down. little by little.

a family friend died when i was in SS2. he was very kind to my family.
when i was 10 years old or less my mum had a car accident which was near fatal. the car found itself in a bbiiigg gutter and was skidding inside. she had just filled the tank with fuel and sparks were flying everywhere. the car caught fire with super mum still inside. thankfully she got out.
freaky.

so, super mum looses her baby car, a beautiful honda accord my dad bought her before he left the surface of the earth.

this man had been mi mums friend for some years after she joined the force. he was always there for us. when i was the hopspital on admission after an opertation he would bring ther to see me. after my stay in the hospital he would take me for check up. all the way Igbobi o!
he was the first to explain the 3rd mainland bridge to me. it being the longest bridge and all. took on a ride to show me.

his wife and kids were close to us. my padi's.

he died and it REALLLLLLLYYY hurt. i wept so hard it hurt my insides.
i think i started feeling then.

we all have stories of loved ones lost. memories.

this is to Ochamps whereever you are. you will be missed.

may departed souls rest in peace.

Amen
