Hello guys. Good to be here again to participate in this awesome idea of being grateful for the things you feel is worth being thankful for. Initiated by boss @tojukaka.

Happy sunday!

This is coming late again just like yesterday's #gratitudeday post. Had quite a busy day. After spending some minutes in church, i had to go to the office to for an assignment.

I am grateful for the commitment of friendship. Here is a friend of mine that we have both come a long way since undergraduate days. Its awesome to sustain a friendship especially if both of you are distance apart.

The last time i can remember we saw was when i went all the way to markurdi, benue state nigeria to visit him in 2011 when i couldn't attend his wedding in 2010 because of other commitments. He was and still is a good and commited friend,a confidant i can always turn to for advice.

The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when. Simon Sinek.

He is one of a kind friend i would say i am grateful i came across in my university days. Though he could be very troublesome. A sanguine to the core. Never out of constructive ideas to insult you.

I never bothered to ask his wife how he has been coping with his trouble. I just knew she has coped and is still coping having been married to him for 8years now. They are indeed a great couple and it was indeed a bonding time two days ago when hey visited ibadan, oyo state Nigeria.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. Khalil Gibran

When they landed at the airport in Ibadan, i went all the way to pick them up since they don't really know their around. Despite my work schedule and other inconveniences. I know he would do same for me. That's the power of strong friendship connection.

I am grateful for his gift in marriage matters. Yes he has so developed himself to be a sort after marriage counseling expert and he is getting it right. You can search for him on facebook; OCHOLI OJONIMI OKUTEPA and read up his right ups on marriage and relationships. You can also follow him on instagram; relationshipandmarriage You sure will thank me later for this.

As someone said; friends are the siblings God never gave us. Whoever said is sure right because he is indeed a cherished friend i am grateful i have in my life.

Permit me to share some of his quotes with you;

Though we had no time to bond well because of my work schedule but i am glad we saw again after several years.

Have a pleasant week!
