Recently, I Lost A Friend. We Were What I Would Consider Close Friends. Not The Kind That Have Been Close For Years. We Started Meeting Up Again Around 3-4 Months Ago, Years After Our Secondary School. Our Lives Crossed Paths Again Due To One Big Common Interest That A Number Of Us Shared, Which Was The Motorbike. It Was Also The Cause Of The Lost Of This Great Friend Of Mine Whom I Had Started To Regard As A Brother Of Mine.
The Day He Left For A Better Place, We Were All Shocked. None Of Us Thought He Would Leave So Suddenly. Many Of Us Who Knew About The Incident Thought He Would Not Be Leaving Any Time Soon. But We Were Snapped Back To Reality When A Man In A Green Surgical Gown Broke The News To Us, Many Who Were There Broke Down. Actually Almost All Broke Down, All But me. I Was In A State Of Confusion. I Even Had This Thought, 'What Am I Supposed To Feel Emotionally?' Then I Left The Room. Moving Out Of The Building I Started To Break Down.
Now I Was Afraid, I Was Afraid That They Would All Blame It On Me. Even Till Now, I Do Not Know If A Particular Brother Of Mine Blames Me For The Incident. At That Point Of Time All I Could Do Was To Just Keep Lighting Up One Stick After Another. Then It was Time To See Him Again. There His Outer-shell Was, Lying Down On The Bed. I Believe At That Time He Had Already Left For A Better Place And Had Only Left Behind His Outer-shell For Us To Feel His Presence As We Needed Time To Adjust Ourselves To Some New Changes In Our Lives.
Now I Strongly And Truly Believe That He Is In A Place Much Better Than This Place We Are Left On.
The End.
I Pray That You Are With The Holy God In Heaven, Enjoying Yourself. You Will Always Be Remembered By Us.
Yours Sincerely,
Gideon Oi.
