AFTER A DECADE OF WAITING & TRUSTING & ON THE CUSP OF HER TESTIMONY, DIEKOLOLA JUST WENT AWAY JUST LIKE THAT!

Diekolola Olatanwa Osa-Avielele nee Adebayo

The sadness over her quite unfortunate passing has been too heavy a burden to bear. Just imagine that a beautiful soul, a kind-hearted person per excellence, a true worshipper at that, a humanitarian by the very definition of it, one who had been waiting with bated breath for so long, 10 long years to be more specific, for her own fruit. Her own child.

A decade of trusting, a whole decade of believing, a decade of knowing that God would make the miracle happen no matter what, a decade of holding on to her God in a more special way and just at that point that the prayer, like Hannah's was answered, just when she had exhaled that finally here it is, then death just came calling to disrupt the party, just a few days after her dream had finally come through and true, she was just snatched away like that!

What a loss! What a sad loss! What a painful loss! What a traumatic loss!

How can her people, her loved ones, those who had been quietly praying along with her, trusting in the Lord with her, those who knew her quiet pain, those who had offered words of advices, words of encouragement, words of consolation & prayers where needed, be consoled? There are those who are given this gift and don't actually want it or need it and are even willing to throw away the special gift, the same child some are/have been praying for, so fervently with their whole being, like it's nothing! For some it's just like touch and go, before you know it, something has happened, while for some, it's about fervent prayers, trusting in their maker for a miracle. 
But for Dieko, just when it was thought that the rainbow had appeared on her horizon, signposting glad tidings, then like a thief in the night, the one that comes to steal, kill and destroy, the most shameless & horrible enemy of man-death, came calling and has left such pain in its wake.

And so 'Diekolola Olatanwa Osa-Avielele' came & she sojourned for just 44 years, did what is considered her best and she's now gone. Like a candle in the wind, leaving just great memories behind for those who love her to linger on.

Many of those who know her, be they family members, associates, friends and more, have found the news of her passage totally unbelievable! It has been shock galore since last week Thursday, when the sad occurrence happened in far away Fairfax Virginia, USA. Many are still grappling with the news, hoping against hope that the news is actually a lie of the devil! But alas it is true, she's actually gone and has already even begun the next chapter of her new journey

She would most likely be buried abroad, especially with the general lockdown that's still prevalent now, that's not allowing international travels.

May her beautiful soul find rest. We commiserate with all her loved ones over her death. God grant you all the strength to accept what has occurred already.
