On June 26, Adeyemi made the heartbreaking announcement of his mother’s passing on social media, penning an emotional message:
“I never thought I’d craft a farewell message for you, my petite gem, my goddess… Iyami owon. Dead!!! You took the most precious spirit from my life… How am I to go on without your presence… Our unfilled promises… You didn’t get to see me marry, to meet my kids just as you always wished… The last time we saw each other, you were at the airport. You battled valiantly, my greatest cheerleader… Now all I feel is void… 💔💔💔😭😭😭. I was hoping you’d rise again… yet, I lost you to the unforgiving hands of death 😭😭😭.”
A month later, he once again commemorated his late mother on social media:
“Exactly a month ago, I awakened to your call, we engaged in prayers-filled chatter… 💔💔💔😭😭😭. The sorrow I feel, as raw and deep as anything I’ve ever experienced… I’ve lost individuals in my life, but never with such profound emptiness… Motherhood’s loss is a pain beyond the value of words. It’s nearly impossible to move on from the memory of the woman who birthed you. She who sacrificed her own joy so her children could thrive. My mother taught me all but how to exist without her…💔 The best friend one could ever have is a mother. In times of swift, crushing trials and adversities replace prosperity; friends desert together with an escalating number of concerns, she still clings on, and with her wise admonitions, attempts to clear the darkness’s clouds and ensure a return to tranquility. Today signifies a month since you stepped out of this sinful world 💔💔💔.”
The permanence and the depth of the pain in losing a mother cannot be fully expressed. It leaves a wound that forever stings. Sun re o, Iya mi owon, Iya t’eko, Iya teacher.
