(wrote this five years ago but just moved it here)

It is five yrs today u passed on. Yes a lot has changed. Married, working (Oh I have been working before your exit), I  have a pretty son too. I am fighting my battles, winning some and learning from some. On the subject of fear, I guess I am doing better than you did (thanks to a good foundation you laid -Christian faith). On career, maybe not at the pace I want but I am sure you would have said well done because the blessing, not the pay is evident. On being a good son to your wife(my mom)- I can always do better but I am sure she is proud of you. I guessed I picked up the best of both worlds(yourself and mom) which makes me one of a Kind. On being conservative, not sure I match up with you but understand I live in different times. On keeping good friends, I guess I have them all-the good, the bad and the funky. The good-to improve on myself, the bad-to learn not to be like dem and the funky, for my social appetite. Did I mention I still listen to King Sunny Ade? Yes I do.

On marriage, I guess it is never how it appears in movies and in our heads. I think you are really interested in ds part of my life even after your transition as you showed up a few times in my subconscious- (my dreams). I am learning by the ropes. I am a father now but not one without an adorable wife. Though I may not be as fantastic as my greatest fans think I am, I guess I am also not as terrible as my harshest critics say. I really miss you. I really wish we could talk and share experiences even though I know we won’t agree on all fronts but I really wish you stayed a bit longer than you did. Maybe some decisions would have been easier to make but I must tell you Mr. Olawale is doing a perfect job. Like many others, your path here on earth might not have been easy but you found a way around it.
