A Tribute to a Brother.

In the space of 15 days, I have attended 3 funerals one of which was dear to me.

Eli, you broke my heart.

I do not recall the details of our first encounter yet the impression was warm and a promise of the beginning of many good days of knowing I had a friend I could rely on. You fulfilled those days in my life and stamped on my heart memories I will forever cherish.

Thank you for checking up on me.

Thank you for looking out for me.

Thank you for encouraging me.

Thank you for supporting me.

Thank you for being real with me.

Thank you for striving to win, to be the best at what you did and for being the example I needed.

Thank you for being true to yourself!

I have been reminded how fleeting our time on earth is, how mundane our desires are and how powerless our bodies are. Truly, there is only One who is able destroy both the body and the soul.

I have taken a pause to ponder;

Life is beautiful, life is short.

Life is a field of lessons and seasons. And in this season, you moved on.

Dear friend, I trust you are in a better place, with the host of angels and witnesses, cheering us on to victory.

You were more than a colleague, more than a friend. You were a Brother!!

Rest well Bro till we meet again!
