Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has shared a heartfelt note on what would have been his late son Kambilichukwu’s 17th birthday.
Grieving on his Instagram account, Yul expressed the pain of losing a son and recounted a dream where Kambi appeared taller, handsome, and joyful.
In his post, Yul acknowledged the difficulty of life without his son, but emphasized his strength for the sake of his siblings, relying on God’s will.
He wrote, “Kambi yooooo! Happy 17th birthday, my great son. Hope you’re doing well over there. I never knew I’d ever do a write-up like this, but here we are. Life.
“I kept asking God to let me see you again, and he granted my wish. I saw you once in my dream, you looked much taller, more handsome and bigger. You were glowing. Seems you are now playing basketball over there and left football. You looked very happy. Obviously, life over there is quite different from here.
“Down here, we are doing our best to cope. It’s not been easy without you around. The pain is terrible but I’m strong, very strong. I have to be strong for me and your siblings, while submitting totally to the will of God. We miss you, we love you, but God loves you more. You’re elevated now. Keep watching over us all. Keep flying, son. Till we meet again. Don’t stop playing football. Happy 17th birthday, Son. Daddy loves you.”
It would be recalled that Yul and his estranged wife, May, lost their first son in January.
Kambilichukwu was said to have read throughout the night in preparation for his exams. After his examination, he joined his friends to play football, where he slumped and developed a seizure.
According to report, he was immediately rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
