Jamie Jamie

Jamie Jamie that’s how I always called you and you responded back with Nike Nike, I don’t know what to write about the little experience I encountered with you and other friends because I am short of words and also shaking as am typing this few words.
We/others met in year 2016 studying Norwegian Language and Culture, we were always in the same group for teamwork with other friends (Tobi, Collins, Ngozika) etc. We further admitted in 2017 to studied 2yrs master’s program in Energy, Environment, and Society which you couldn’t finish with us due to your illness.
In 2016 I remembered when I invited you to our church where you met my husband, children and friends and I introduced you all my friends and my pastor in the church. Jamie was so grateful I introduce him to everyone and later told me I’ve a wonderful family and I remembered telling you Jamie that if you want a good family JESUS can do it for and you said I want one, we all (family and friends) laughed together. You even attended my church like 4-5 times and you always say Nike why are you so much talking about Jesus, God, church all the time and I told you because that is who I am and that I have a very solid personal relationship with Jesus which No one can take away from me by God on my side. I remembered Jamie named me “manager of God” I laughed😊 and said I glad I am a child of Jesus.

I thank God that throughout your illness, my family and I always prayed for you and I tells you so much about who is the real Jesus, visiting at nursing home and supporting you. Jamie that I know was fearless, always laughing and trying to encourage himself but one day I visited you towards the ending of 2018 the countenance on your face was not the Jamie I know, you told me you’re scared because anytime you might leave the family and friends you love so much and I told you not to worry that all will be well because you’ve suffered a lot from this illness and I said as a Christian I believed human being can choose where they will spend their eternity (heaven/hell) afterwards. I also told you the highest form of healing is death because person will not have to think or go through all the problems, struggles, ups and downs etc of this world and go to rest. I prayed for you and asked my friends to prayed with and you later told me you’re ok and feeling better.
Jamie you loved to go for a work but I don’t, anytime I visited you at nursing-home, you will say Nike let go for a walk, I will replied I don’t like to go for a walk that when I go for a work I walk slowly like a snail, you will laugh and says common let go even if it just 5mins.

Along the line I got to know your mum Berit, and brothers (Stephen and Tony). Though I met her once and she told Jamie likes to go for a work, I replied you, Jamie always say it at School. If not because of death I would have tell your mommy/brothers not to worry that Jamie just went for a work and that you will come back, however, it is death that took you away and death is a journey of no return.
I hope you choose where you will spend the rest or your eternity right. ……..All this memory will forever live on…….
I would have use the picture Jamie, Collins and I took at the last class of Oluf’s lecture but my phone was crushed, the picture use is taken online.

Jamie thank God I knew you and am also grateful to God I was able to support you in a little way I could.
Jamie Jamie REST ON.
