Ifedayo Adekeye

A Journey of Dedication, Friendship, and Growth

Honestly, we should have “Dr. Ifedayo” proudly displayed on your place card—because if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. But you truly went the distance. I remember when you first talked about pursuing that dream, then watching you dive in with laser focus, determined to make it a reality. You were relentless, and it was clear how much it meant to you to reach that level of education. Your zeal, your passion—it was inspiring to see.

It wasn’t without its costs. You sacrificed a lot to get there, and while the journey wasn’t easy, you persevered. We’re all so proud of you. Your doggedness is admirable and even though sometimes it’s difficult to see the big picture, the end more than justified the means.

I often think back to our time on the Isle of Wight, those simple days of enjoying the ocean breeze, building our lives step by step. Now look at us—we’ve living in our homes, and you’ve gone from being a friend to a proud father, not of one but two beautiful children. Your growth has been amazing to witness, and your friendship means the world to us.

Visiting you and your family during Easter has become such a cherished tradition. We hope to keep it going, making sure that distance never gets in the way of spending quality time together. The memories we create with you all are priceless, and we love every moment we get to share.

We love you, Ife—sorry, Dr. Ifedayo—and we truly appreciate the gifts, support, and friendship you’ve given us over the years. Here’s to many more memories and milestones together!
