Some people can never be replaced no matter how we tried
Neither can we bring them back no matter how much we cried
It still doesn't get any easier no matter how long the tears have dried
Even if you bury your emotions deep or have it fried
They say time makes everything easier but I think they lied
It has been 16 years and yet my emotions are not tied
We sometimes wish we can have our emotions tied
To avoid having to face the reality of the void left behind
Happy Posthumous birthday, dad...you are always on my mind
There is no year that passes by that I don't feel your wind
The wind of your emotions that blows me but I can't find
I missed the sound of your car horn outside the gate
And how you used to leave your meat for me on your plate
I missed hearing your voice that speaks of love and not of hate
Oh...those times I used to take permission from you to go on a date
Or rush to the house from a corner when I heard your horn approach the gate
Every fun moments were in those tiny things that passed by
Small details but they carry so much emotions and memories
So many times I would pick your phone and use your credit
Give you a list of things needed while you cross out some
Now, I missed those luxuries since I now have responsibilities 🤣😂
I would never wish to have these experiences with any other person, dad
I missed you and it hurts deeply not having you close by

Sleep on Abraham Olufemi Oladoja.
Happy posthumous birthday to you dad. I love you then, I love you now and always. It's never going to change no matter the distance.

Thank you for your time.

A great man that birthed another great man. He made his mark on you and I can see how close you two were from what you wrote. Happy posthumous birthday to him. I'm sure he's looking down to see how a man grew from his son. God bless you.

Thank you so much. I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to call him my dad. Even in death, that would never change because he was the best by miles. It's so easy to miss him because he was adorable.

Many years have passed , however your memories are still valid , I understand perfectly , my father died before my mother , but I overcame my father 's death easier than my mother 's , and time does not have much to do with it , if the form to act of them in relation to me

It's true, my friend. Time doesn't have much to do with it because the memory stays as we keep replaying their memories in our heads when we remember them. Keep staying strong my friend and thank you so much.
