A Nigerian man has narrated how his friend died from stroke after a terrible divorce that separated him from his kids.
@Yinkanubi took to Twitter to share the sad story on Monday, April 24, while mourning the demise of his friend.
He said the deceased worked very hard and continued to support his family even though he was denied access to his children.
Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke three years ago, which affected his movement and earnings, but there was no one to care for him.
@Yinkanubi said the man would always lament about his inability to see his family, even on his sick bed. Sadly, he recently passed away sad and alone.
Read his full tweet below,
“I was just informed of the death of a friend. His story is that of a man who slaved for his family, and kept giving even after a divorce forced him to be separated from his wife & kids. 3yrs ago he had a stroke which affected his mobility & earning capacity. Yet, he kept on going.
“He needed support round the clock and therapy too. But there was no family around to help. Sometimes in the evenings, I would sit with him to keep him company. He would agonize about his family and how even in his medical state, he is unable to have access to his children.
“He was an unhappy man and this brought about bouts of anger that made people avoid conversations with him. But I understood him and I was one of a few that could calm him down. He was a lonely man who needed the love and warmth of his family at his most vulnerable time.
“Now I am wondering if he ever got to reconnect with his kids before he died. I am also wondering what will happen to the properties he worked hard to acquire while he was alive. Life is brittle. Learn to value what is really important over what is ephemeral.
“Rest in peace my brother. I will cherish your friendship and our conversations. If the opportunity presents itself, I will share with your children how much you loved them and agonized over them. I will let them know their dad was a hard working man who Stroke couldn’t keep down.”
