Indeed he is an icon...
At about 10am yesterday I was still in the office with my usual work activities when my phone📱 rang behold it was my mum, I had to suspend whatever am doing to answer her call, oh yes I did because I know she doesn't call in vain and if she wants to just know how am doing she wouldn't call by that time of the day, I mean working days.. I know there is time for everything but not when it comes to my family,, so I picked up the call and behold it was a bad news of the death of my grandfather ( an icon), immediately I heard it I was so heart broken and the rest of the day was shattered and became sad, he was 120yrs and the oldest in my home town. I know what you are thinking... It's supposed to be a celebration of life? Yes I think so too but I was heart broken because I grew up with him especially during my university days, he is always happy to see me happy, he is such an amazing soul and a good person which his character is worth emulating.
my uncle and sister eating while my grandpa sits alone like he always do.
Oh, did I tell you his a man full of wisdom and knowledge? Oh yes he is just like the Solomon of the bible, such a good man, he is blessed with seven children and over 15 grandchildren and great grandchildren, isn't that such a big blessing?, He personally likes me and do tells me some traditional histories and also about the civil war which he fought, oh I didn't tell you he was also energetic even at his 100+ years,His legacy speaks for him even at his death
farewell grandpa, we will miss you and your good deeds, REST IN PEACE.
This is really touching to see and on the other side i want to say it is a life well spent at that age and indeed I agree with you that Grandpa is an icon already and let me say a legend to the core too.
Irespective how old it is or age number at times losing our loved ones too is always sad and I want to say kindly accept my condolences mate
