Nollywood actress and songwriter Bukunmi Oluwasina has said her father sudden death changed her perspective on life and it deprived her of cherished moments and loved ones.
The actress made this known on Instagram while lamenting the untimely death of two notable actors in the movie industry, Sisi Quadri and Mr. Ibu.
Bukunmi Oluwasina made a lengthy post reflecting on the things taken away from her without notice, adding that her father’s absence prompted her to stop commemorating her birthday.
The actress offered a prayer for the upcoming month of March, hoping it would bring blessings for both herself and her family, especially as her daughter celebrates her birthday.
She also prayed that every mourning soul be comforted.
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.”
