Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has penned a heartfelt letter to his late son, Kambilichukwu, on the occasion of his first posthumous birthday.

Today would have marked the young lad’s 17th birthday, and in the midst of his grief, Yul Edochie took to his Instagram page to express his profound sadness over the loss.

He wondered how his son was faring in the afterlife and acknowledged that he never anticipated having to write such a tribute, yet here he was. Yul Edochie revealed that he had been fervently praying to catch a glimpse of his son again, and his wishes were granted, but solely in the realm of dreams, where Kambilichukwu appeared taller, more handsome, and mature.

The unsuccessful presidential candidate openly admitted that life has been arduous since his son’s passing. Nonetheless, they are all making an effort to cope with the unbearable pain. Despite the hardship, Yul Edochie remains resolute, drawing strength not only for himself but also for his siblings, while fully surrendering to God’s divine plan.

“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”.
