Grateful Heart! – Adewale Sobowale

I was more than humbled today!

Normally, I don’t obey the order of sleeping for eight hours at a go. Why should I? Apart from writing, reading and socialising, other things might crop up.

Besides, I don’t like being held up in a straitjacket!

I woke up at 2 a.m. this morning and was working on a manuscript. Around 5 a.m., I got a call from Messenger. Since I was occupied with other things, the person on the other end dropped the call.

I went to check the person calling and discovered it was Ayodeji Olaniyi Oluwadare, a five-star athlete who was my housemaster. I then called him back.

When he picked, he said he wanted me to be part of a video call with Samuel Fatusin who was getting married in Ekiti State. Another mate of theirs, Damola Adeniregun was the best man.

Unfortunately, the service had started when I called.

We had to make the video call after the service. After gisting with the three gentlemen, I prayed with Samuel for a lifelong union. He later introduced the wife to me, and I also prayed for a life-long union.

But I’m feeling so humbled that the young men of those days could remember a little me!
