My Big Brother and Beloved Cousin Eromosele, your untimely death is a big blow to us all. I'm yet to come to terms with the brutal fact that you're not with us anymore. I wish I could turn back the hands of time, I haven't witnessed pains on this pedestal before now! Your death have thrown us into indescribable agony, tears and sadness and has created a vacuum that will take our family years to fill.
As first cousins we were close. We grew up together, played together, spent our holidays together and even came to England together on the same flight sat by each other all through the flight with so much big dreams. I can remember many things we did together, from when we were kids to present day. You are hardworking, cheerful, always smiling, and protective of me and my Big brother forever.
Seeing you on the hospital bed laying lifeless with no response from you when we called you with so much gadgets all over your body broke my heart. We sang you happy birthday song and there was still no response very unlike you I was waiting for that smile from you I was filled with so much fear and still have not gotten over it I find myself wishing that it wasn't real
I remember how we use too chat on face time till middle of the night and laugh hard, we talked about how much we miss home and paying grandma a surprise visit. I remember when you told me you were getting married and how excited I was about the news screaming down the phone and how you laugh at me and asked me to put myself together, how protective you were of me whenever guys were around, Your Esan language was flawless despite growing up in this modern age that we can hardly speak in our mother tongue, my only sophisticated brother full of energy.
Words can’t describe how much pain I feel, till we meet again I love you Big Brother I will miss you dearly and I will never forget you.
May your gentle soul rest in peace.
