I was intimidated by you because you were just so cool and everyone liked you. We’ve always sort of been in the same space but i always held back because… well, intimidation. You, however, would always say hi, you were always so friendly and now in retrospect, I wonder what I was so worried about.
Even from a distance, just observing your life, hearing stories of your great strides, motivated me to sit up and do better.
I wish I got to tell you this because this won’t do. But thank you, Oduraa, for being your authentic self and encouraging me to be mine. Thank you for always being nice to me every time you see me. Now I live with your mantra: “My Father is excellent, so I will also be excellent”
Rest in peace super OD.
