I’d give anything, including my own life to bring you back here. Who am I to question God. He likes to take back the ones he loves and he has taken you and I’m so glad you’re at paradise… continue to intercede for me bobo. My own guardian angel. I love you till the day I take my very last breath. See you soon IKUKU❤️ #alexxekuboliveson”
