I lost my dad at Easter I try to take comfort in the knowledge that he has gone to rest.
Where he is now no pain, ill-health or sin can touch him, no accusation or reproach... He has raised I and my other sibllings to this point where we have become confident, independent young men and women.
No matter how old a parent is, it is never enough time if you see them everyday. I believe God knows best & remember He only takes the Best. I'm still struggling to come to terms that I won't ever see my father in this life again... Rest in peace Daddy, your are missed always!
Here's a poem I found that helps...
God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered,
‘Come to Me’.
With tearful eyes we watch you
And saw you pass away
And although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove us
He only takes the Best.

Thanks very much for your comments... Writing this down was kind of therapeutic for me more than anything... Didn't imagine anyone would actually read my blog.
Bibitayo... I'm sorry to disappoint you, my name is actually an amalgam of my native names... If it's any consolation I know a real life Bibi... whose name is Bibiana and she's Nigerian too... God Bless and stay inspired!
