" I gained admission into the university with my DAD alive, he was a very strong man, very determined. He never gave me a reason to question his fatherhood, he was always there when we needed him. All through my year one and year two it was just a call to him and my needs in school was sorted.
"But all of that was cut short as he was kidnapped and killed by the end of my year two second semester. I didn’t give up regardless and having my amazing family and then husband to be which is now my husband everything just became better by the day. I visited his grave not just because I wanted to but it was a honor and recognition of who started the journey while my husband completed. I love you DADDY."
