"Heaven gained you too soon, but I hold on to the laughter you left behind, the kindness you carried, and the love that still lingers in every corner of my heart. You were more than a brother, you were a piece of my soul, a light that even death could not dim. In every sunrise that reminds me of your brightness, in every quiet night where I whisper your name and feel peace. Happy birthday in heaven, my Oluwanisola. Your name still feels like a prayer, and your memory a melody that never stops playing. Keep resting, my brother, and when the stars glow a little brighter tonight, I’ll know it’s you smiling down still calling me 'Idan mi,'" he wrote.
