I need a life. I want a life. I need help. I don’t know myself. I have not been the same since your death . How I miss you so much. That golden smile that always lit up my world. It’s still hard for me to believe you are gone for good. My heart still tells me you just travelled to rest for a bit and you would be back soon. I miss that lovely spaghetti you make. I miss that opportunity to chant Jugold again and again (a nickname your boys gave you) whenever I am around you. I remember when you bought me my first Manchester United jersey in August 2003. I still have it. You bought me 6 Manchester United jerseys in all. I miss fighting for your attention with your grandson Oluwatobiloba. I miss our little fights about me being rude to my elder brothers. You brought us up well. I remember when you always scolded me for not brushing my teeth well because you were a dental therapist. Anytime I see a toothbrush you come to my mind. The fact is, I have never bought a toothbrush from birth till date. I still have more than enough to last 3 more years. It felt weird buying under wears; you always had it covered for me. You are the reason I can shine my tiny teeth, after you got me to use braces for my pointed teeth. I remember our little argument about a certain girl I dated, because you loved the one just before her, you told me not to introduce any other girl to you. My best birthday gift ever was when you showed up that very morning on the 29th of December, 2010 in Aberdeen. I was close to tears. You left Aberdeen for the US on the 5th of January, 2011 and I would have argued with anyone that it would be the last day we were going to see. You spoilt me with so much love and I am glad for the sons you had before me. They have been there since you and dad left. You were more than a mother. You were a brother, a friend (because we watched Manchester United play together sometimes), you were also a sister. It’s been a year since you left your baby boy. I love and miss you to bits my darling angel, Omowunmi Adedolapo and I can only hope you and dad are resting in the bosom of the Almighty smiling over your boys. Sun re iya rere……

I love u to bits, so many fond and cherish moments of u still and will always linger on in my heart where u always live.

Truly we all won’t heal from your loss.Omowunmi Adedolapo Ogun a truly unique soul and I’m proud to have been ur son .

I love dis piece!
d 1st couple of months i met dip,he wud talk all day abt his mum & I found dat endearing but annoyingly sweet.
Meeting her personally was a delightsome experience..her smile was like sun dt permeates,she had profound love 4life&extended same 2al she came in contact with esp. youths.
I rmbr d 1st time i met her,i was treatd wit a palatable meal{Semo&Ogbonno},at first,i felt a lil awkward 2eat such a huge morsel at my 1st visit,but i was quick 2realise dt wt grama,u needd not 2b prim&proper becos she wud av loved u regardless..she did everythn she cud 2 make sure i didnt stain d white shirt i wore.
I rmbr alwaz sayin whoeva dipo marries wl av 2b Ok 2b d 2nd fiddle..cos he alrdy has 98% of his luv 4 mum, wife wl av 2cmpete 4d remaining fraction; but who wont b pleased 2av even a scintilla of such love,cos its assuring his wife wud b treated as a queen as well(lucky BEE! winks)
Truth b told,dat is one irreplaceable jewel lost&i cud go on relishing her memory but her impact remains indelible.
Thanks wonderful people for you lovely comments…. Bless
