Dear Norman,
I can not believe that Monday
(04/28/03) was the last time
that I will see you, talk to you
and shake your hand. What
happened to you could have
happened to any of us…I hate to
admit that you are the lamb of
sacrifice. I hate to lose, but
what can one do at time like
this?.....when a good friend
like you is being referred to in
past tenses….when all your
efforts and life pursuits
stopped abruptly….and death took
you away. Why you?????
You are a great loss!
Someone told me it was your time
to go….but I do not believe in
stuff like that…. All I know is
that God does not do bad things,
he is merciful, and things
(either Bad or Good) do actually
happen for a reason. I want you
to know that, even though you
are gone, we are still a team.
With help of God and through
your family we will fulfill your
dreams…
Keep the flag flying in heaven –
while you watch over us as we
try to come to terms with your
death and pray for your soul to
rest in peace. You lived a short
life and yet you touched a lot
of lives – You lent me your
calculator to take my final exam
in BAFI 480. It was not that
simple, you were actually
waiting for me at the lobby (PBL),
and I was late to meet with you
as arranged. Despite the fact
that you were tired, you waited
patiently with a smiley face,
and gave me what I needed for
the final exam. This was the
last exam that concluded my MBA
program….that was the last time
I saw you….I wish your death was
a joke, I wish it was
reversible….I wish I had one
more chance to spend some time
with you…
I hope I said “Thank you”….and
if did not, I am saying “Thank
you” now, I did not realize it
was our last meeting…..
Rest in peace!!!
Your friend
Isaac Adegboola
