Good day my naija people, if this contest is a sure wish God has granted me, then I will live the rest of my Life smiling.
My uncle; my small Dad
Mr. Ismail Akorede who happens to be my uncle from my father's side died on the first of January, 2019. The day was a sad day. I wept for several days. I could not believe my ear until I saw his corpse lying down unconsciously, I pushed him, he was not responding, it was that time I believe that he is finally gone to the world beyond.
He has promised me a lot of things before and after my graduation.
He promised to take me to Dubai once I finish my final year project and I will spend like three months there to rest my brain for the stress I have passed through and also a reward for getting good grades in my course.
During my undergraduate program, he do call me almost everyday, he has added me to his budget and taken me as his son, some people taught he is father because of the resemblance, he do give me special attention from day one on Earth, my uncle lived with my family when I was 5 and leave when I was 10, he trained me a lot although he was strict and don't condone any act of indiscipline.
He bought my first smartphone for me and sends me money every week. He knows when I am in need of things and he never refuses to do anything positive for me.
I have created an emblem for him in my heart because of his relentless effort towards me to become successful.
Three things are the source of my cry, the first is that he has done a lot for me and I have not for once repay him any moment I remember this I cry and feel like paying him, the second is that he did not leave any child behind, the only child he gave birth too died five years before his demise.
The third is that he has assured me of a good job through the connections he has.
He promised me a lot of things too that I couldn't get because of the inevitable.
I will be happy and Happy again if he can return to this word.
Thanks for your time 😘

Our relatives should also be reasons we smile. Your uncle was clearly a reason you smiled so much. Thank you for posting in the HiveNaija community.
