12 years and it still feels like yesterday, Can still remember vividly myself and Ronke praying overnight and asking God to grant you sound recovery but I slept off while praying. when I woke up on the 2nd of June 2005 and I wanted to take my bath but water wasn't running upstairs. I ran to take my bath downstairs but on getting to the sitting room I noticed the wall clock in that sitting room has stopped working. Something told me everything wasn't okay so I sat down and Ronke walked in and shouted at that I am running late for school, I told her to look at the wall clock that it as stopped and she said so what's wrong and I said I was just worried or something like that. Few seconds after I heard the bell so I ran to the gate to open it and it was popc at the gate, saw my cousin driving his car, mumc was behind with Dolapo and I saw other cars behind. I asked of you and dad looked up and said you are no more with us, at that same moment Dolapo was breaking the news to mummy. No single drop of tears came out of my eyes because I couldn't process it. I ran inside to change. I couldn't take my bath again. I was still trying to process how things would be and all then I heard popc making arrangements for the burial with his brothers and sisters and also debating on where you should buried. The following day was the burial, I still didn't understand it all till we got to church and I saw the coffin pushed into the church. I looked to my left and I saw how it was wheeled slowly, I was cold and at that point it was all becoming a reality that your body is inside the coffin. I wasn't sure I heard all that I said during the service because I was just processing how my ever happy and jumping brother is just inside a box and wasn't moving. After service the coffin was pushed out and Dolapo told the Priest that he would love the coffin to be open so myself and Ronke can see our brother for the last time. The coffin was opened and I was just looking at you and couldn't move till Dolapo said we should touch you, in his words " That Niyi your brother, touch him for the last time he can't hurt you". Rest in peace Adeniyi.
