Nollywood actress and songwriter Bukunmi Oluwasina claims that the unexpected loss of her father altered her outlook on life and took away her memories of loved ones.
The actress revealed this on Instagram while mourning the premature passing of Mr. Ibu and Sisi Quadri, two well-known actors in the film business.
Bukunmi Oluwasina wrote a long essay lamenting the items that were abruptly stolen from her, stating that she had stopped celebrating her birthday because of her father’s absence.
The actress prayed for blessings for herself and her family in the approaching month of March, particularly as her daughter celebrates her birthday.
She also prayed for comfort for all the bereaved.
She wrote: “I have started seeing life differently, since some angels came unaware, and took my dad away. I have learnt to accept that every day brings me closer to my own grave. Losing someone dear to you, that pain is never the same.
“It’s not on the list of pains that go away. I still don’t party to celebrate my birthday up till date. Because I’m always sad, every time it’s 7th of May.
“I know what you would always say, you were always the first to call my phone and pray. Always the first to give me a gift for my birthday. It’s been years, but nothing feels the same way. How the f*** would everything be the same again??
“Someone had died again yesterday. And here, we go through this pain again. That pain never goes away. Every time a person dies again, it’s new every day. Growing thick skin lately, Cos of what your death had taught me. I no longer worry about the day I die, I only worry, about the loved ones I leave behind.
“So every single time, I use it as well as I can. Take my time to sing my child some lullaby. Remember to kiss the man I love “Good night.” Cos of the day, I won’t wake up, no matter how much I try.
“Would happily sacrifice the most precious things in the world, Just to be with and spend time with the people I love. Create enough memories to help us hold on, Go broke being there for people known and unknown, Cos none of the things we have is truly our own. Hey March, please be good to us.
“It’s my daughter’s birthday tomorrow, yes of course. So, be good to her too. Let’s all pray Grand Pa, who would have prayed for her, come true.
“Let her live to fulfill all you have created her to. Every time she needs a friend, God, I want it to be you. Be the one she would always run to. Because I tell her. You always come through. And on this day, please console every heart that is in dismay. Even if you can’t take some pains away, teach us how to live with them every day.
“May this March be a good month for me and you. Yes, you, the person reading this. May it be a great March for me and you. This I pray today, for ME and YOU.”
