“The 21st March is when my world came crashing down into pieces. Something so unexpected happened: my dad got shot 7 times a day before my birthday, which was crazy cause I never saw him in such a bad state before, but l went to hospital came home, l never ate or slept.
“l just constantly prayed l am losing weight even anyway Saturday is my birthday and finally l get to see him in a state. l never imagined tho because he was planning big things for my birthday okay fine, his in ICU, can hear but can’t speak so l say to him he should fight for his life. He touches my hand, not wanting to let go, l tell him l love him.
“He says he loves me more but the words can’t come out his mouth just moved then when l left he didn’t wanna let go l thought he was recovering cause he’s reacted so well too me l left after he didn’t want to let go Sunday morning l go to church lol pray for him we go to hospital when l’m supposed to see him they start operating on him saying the pain is to much his vitals, organs and liver is collapsing.
“l start praying, but his been through worse, so l trusted he would be okay anyway. We leave, l get home take a power nap. My mother wakes me up saying we need to go to hospital. On the way, l can feel his heart stopped beating. When we get the immediately my heart drops seeing him all blue, so l break down, l’m screaming l went lay on him even l kissed him.
“Even l want to know how do u get over losing a parent u loved more than anything, that u trusted, that had ur back and all, making sure he protects you and u could do nothing but let him die right before u. How do u forget someone u have known all ur life, knowing that u nothing without them.
“l didn’t even get to make u proud yet, Dady. This wasn’t the plan, u told me u will always be here with me. l will cherish every moment, and l will always love you more than anything. You are and always will be my superhero.”

“I was dropped off at school by my dad in the morning, he said shap ssee you after school. After school my aunt and mom picked me up, told me he is at the hospital, when I got there he had already passed on. I screamed “why, why, why” 1000 times. I’m still not healed, and it has been 11 years. It’s just gets easier as time goes by, but it never ever heals.”
