I read Denrele Edun’s tribute to Goldie on Linda’s blog and shed more than a few tears. It is just incredible how you could be with someone right now and a few hours later, you are faced with anguish of bidding him/her goodbye forever. These two people loved and supported each other in everything. They were like Siamese twins. Their friendship was indeed one of a kind. We all knew Goldie, the artiste; he knew and loved Goldie, the person. It is so sad that in this world where death is inevitable, Denrele has to live his life without his best friend. Life oh life....
Thank God
for memories. We get to have that even when you can’t see or hold the person
anymore. I pray God sees him through.
Denrele’s
tribute to Goldie
My super
star friend sways away and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and
someone at my side says "she's gone"...Gone where?
Gone from my
sight, that is all. She is just as gorgeous now as when last I saw her. Her
slightly disappearing figure and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
