JJ.....a tribute.

i never truly understood what a 'friend' is really.knowing someone all ur life does not really make them ur friend.so also do classmates,work associates,neighbors,business colleagues,club members and a whole lot of motley social groups and relationships not make them friends of ours just because.when jj died a little over a month ago,there was this feeling i experienced different from the death of other people that i have known.it was not grief or sadness but a sense of an expiration of a very important part of ur life that u know u cannot replace.i truly felt just like his family [close and distant]i too felt the need to be condoled for my loss .of a good and loyal friend.truth is while he was alive,i underestimated [or did not really bother because he was always there]the value of his friendship and loyalty.to all his friends kabiru was kind and loyal.u might not see him regurlarly but whenever u did he never failed to relish the moment.kabiru was a good man.a loving husband to rabi,a father that provided and was passionate to fatima,ahmed,mohammed and the lovely twins khadija and hafsat,hi children.he was hardworking and meticulous in the public service career he chose right after graduation.i have prayed and continue to pray for his soul to find peace in jannah.JJ thank you.Allah ya gafarta maka.
