Miriam, I never thought that this day would come so soon. We talked and shared plans for the new year. You sent me a letter on the 1st of Jan appreciating my partnership at Pekaat. Before we closed for the year you told me you were burnt out and would use the holidays to rest and have fun. The plan was that we all come back to work not that you take a permanent rest. We were ushers together in church in the early 2000s. Mr Innocent Usar and Aunty Talatu were cords that kept our connection to each other. You would often introduce me by saying we are from the same cloth. When we moved to Abuja, you asked that I become Pekaat's in-house Marriage coach. I didn't go to the office on my birthday because the client had cancelled the session. You kept my gift for two weeks. Until the day both of us were in the office. You told me, 'Ms Oblete, go to your office, I am coming.' You led all the office staff in singing Happy Birthday into my office. I remember the excitement in your eyes and voice when you told me that in 2024, we would do two batches on the iREVIVE project. You asked that I create space for the project - and not get overbooked, but you didn't 😭😭😭. You changed your address permanently without even a hint. Mimi, I wish you were here with us longer, but... Thank you Rinret for living well Your impact will continue to speak for decades. Rest now...
