For as long as there is a memory they live in our hearts to stay. He was a great character worthy of emulation and we will all love to live by your legacy. We will always remember that charming smile of yours, that caring heart, and most importantly, a valuable life lesson that ‘family is key’ and to always stay together through thick and thin, and to support, love and respect each other. We will try our very best to live by the righteous virtues you’ve raised us with. The morals and values you taught us will continue to be a guiding light in our lives. Our silent tears flow each time we remember you’re gone but your loving, caring, fatherly role and legacy will continue to give solace to our humble hearts. They were a great team supporting each other in every possible way as well as being there for their children. He was always there for our mother, and they shared everything life could offer together. But Alhamdulillah we give Glory to Allah for our father was that perfect husband everywoman would love to have beside her. He was a blessing and God’s gift to everyone he came across and brought so much joy to us. And if help was ever needed then it came so freely from him. He was always kind, caring and understanding towards people. Our father was loved so dearly, and brought so much happiness to the many hearts he touched. There are no words enough to describe just how amazing our father was to us and all the lives he touched and what a powerful influence he was. He always wanted to know what was up our sleeves so as to put us through where the need arise. He gave so much importance to family time as he did not allow us chat or make phone calls while spending family time together. That was how close a father he was My friends and that of my siblings cherished the relationship we had with our father as he could call each and every one of us more than three times a day amidst his busy schedule whenever we were not together. I remember when my brother was posted to Sokoto State for his national youth service my dad took it upon himself to drive him all the way there and waited for him to process and get an exit from the camp for his redeployment before they came back to Kaduna. Upon the news of our accident so many people had concluded we were together in the car knowing that he would not delegate his duties to anyone. I remember sometime in 2014 when we had a ghastly motor accident, one of our father’s darkest moments in life seeing his loved one go through such a tragic moment with so much pain, he went over and above at that time.Īt the time we had the accident he was unable to drive us to Abuja as he had a close friend’s burial to attend in Kano which led to our separate journeys. He never allowed anyone ploy his fatherly roles such as taking us to school even at our university level as grownups. He was a team maker, always there for peacekeeping and upholding family ties and friendship. He was selfless, he lived for others always willing to help, he was highly principled and stood firm for what he believed was in the general interest of everyone. Family meant so much to him he never travelled and left home for a long time. He was a hero, a strong support system, a hardworking and strong individual who was always there for his family. Our father was a man like no other, if love, humility and compassion had a form in human then it was him, he was an icon worthy of emulation, a true definition of what a family should be like. The loss of a father no matter how old you are changes your life forever, you never really get over the loss, you learn to live with the loss and he is never far from your thoughts. There’s a place in our hearts no one can fill. You were a father whose worth can never be told. Our hearts still ache in sadness, for what it meant to loose you no one will ever know. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. But Surely, Allah takes what is His, and what He gives is His, and to all things He has appointed a time. Words seem to feeble in moments like these.
