September 28, 2009
I have always known that one day I would end up fatherless but just never thought about it until it happened today. September 28, 2009 will be a day I will never forget, just like other important dates. My father died. Mustapha Adedapo Olowe was a dreamer. He could crank up ideas faster than you could digest them (I got that from him). He was hardworking and friendly (I got the hardworking part from him too). He was hardly ever sick. But then, like the way some economist said, on the long run we would all be dead. So today was his own day. He's left behind kids who will never forget him. And also grand kids, who would probably never stop hearing stories about him. May his soul rest him peace. Agini Malaika

Hello Deji, just knowing about your dad's demise. May his gentle souls rest in perfect peace. May the Lord grant you the fortitude to bear the loss. Regards
Agini Malaika! can't remember the last time I heard him call you that. What does it mean anyway, you have any idea?
Hi Deji, just got to know about Daddy's death. We all see death as a cruel separation from our loved ones but this is not always the case. Though it might seem so.
In death, there is certainly the very real pain and sorrow of physical separation. But it is equally true that our loved ones remain with us. They do not just go off to some dark and distant place. They simply continue into eternal life. We do not see them because we are still in the darkness of this world. But their spiritual eyes, filled with the light of heaven, are always watching us as they wait for the day when we shall share their perfect joy. We are born for heaven and we end this life of tears to begin our life of endless happiness. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
