TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER
Its a year when the cold hands of death took you away. Death where is your sting? You who take a man, you are that which men fear, but you are inevitable. When the cold hands of death snatched you Otunba Gbenga Adesanya early morning of December 17th 2014 at the hospital, it was like the fall of an Iroko tree. At First there was confusion, then denial, reflection and finally acceptance.
I accepted when I remembered what a psalmist said “what man is he that liveth and shall not see death?” (Psalm 89 vs 48)
Less i forget to make you know , It is easy to think of others having to keep this appointment with death, but difficult for us to remember that we too must keep same appointment. Death is appointed for all and the question of its occurrence is merely a matter of time.
Adieu, papa adieu. I love you but God loves you more. You worked hard and your legend and legacy are profound. Your departure is still a great loss felt all the time. May the almighty God grant you eternal rest. Amen.
First Son.
