Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has written a posthumous birthday message to his late son, Kambilichukwu, who would have celebrated his 17th birthday today, January 4.

Reminiscently, Kambili passed away in March 2023 after collapsing during a football game and being swiftly taken to the hospital.

Expressing his sentiments, the actor conveyed that he never envisioned a day when he would need to write a posthumous birthday message for his late son.

Yul acknowledged the profound pain of losing him and extended heartfelt wishes for his well-being in the afterlife.

Yul wrote: “Kambi yooooo! Happy 17th birthday, my great son.

Hope you’re doing well over there. I never knew I’ll 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. And I saw you once in my dream. You looked much taller and more handsome. And bigger. You were glowing.

“Seems you’re now playing basketball over there and left football. You looked very happy. Obviously, life over there is quite different from here. Down here we’re 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.”
