My pillar of strength!!! How can I be talking about you in past tense!!! You must be really out of your mind to think you can leave me like this, In this year especially!!

Why didn’t you leave when we were suffering and hustling up and down in this Lagos! I’d have understood! Why now? When you should be enjoying your life!!

What will happen to all the trips we had planned and our life goals? You are the only reason I worked this hard so you’d be proud of me and so I’d take care of you to pieces as my first child. Well, I know you’re always proud of me either way”

The concluding part of the statement reads;

Ha, I used to hear of grief but Teni, you should have waited for me to get back to see you.

You thought I wouldn’t be able to take it I’m sure but teni, my heart is broken!!! I can’t take this!!! I can’t feel my heart Teni!!!

You promised me you’d be with me forever!! You said you’ve got me for life!! How dare you leave now! Now? At just 35 years!! You must be out of your mind!! Who will guide me through life!!! Who will preach to me ? You know I only listen to you!

No wonder your last words to me were “never respond in fear”! Teniola I can’t keep that promise o! Better pick your call!! I know you don’t like calls but atleast message me back and say this is a joke you are only testing my Faith! Teni, my heart can’t take this! I’m not strong at all I lied to you!!

One thing I know is, you have changed my life!! You came into this world for that purpose to change my life completely. I know you will not want me to cry anymore, I don’t even have tears left right now! I just have questions!! I love you forever Omoteniola and nobody will ever take your place in my life.
