RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #85 - “THE GIANT OF AFRICA”

How Spent my Saturday..
A close friend of mine invited to his grandfather's burial.
Being my first time attending a burial.
I had to pay good attention to every moment and trust me meennnnn.

One part of the burial hits me hard, when the preacher said everyone will die so we shouldn't be afraid. But the question is how will you die, what will you be remembered for.
Were you able to touch a soul or your life was just self centred.
He said so many things.
Mind you .. it was an old man burial so there was no plenty cry.. will I say it was a glorious home call.

I sat under the canopy imagining what's going on in the man's mind inside the casket, is he seeing everyone sitted here.
Is he happy with the fact that he has gone to meet with his maker.

Alots of thought ram through my mind..
The part that also caught me was when some friends amd family were called to say things about the man...

In summary of what they said, the man was a man of impact, a role model in the society. He brought light to the community a d even unto his death people still remember him for that.

He was surrounded with big girls and boys as he's children and grandchildren.

In conclusion, live a life of impact so when you're gone people will remember you for that. Because one day we will all go to meet with our maker
