“He was…” 😢😢😢😢😢😢 I pray for this family almost every day. I had never prayed for strangers until now. Only God can heal this kind of grief 🕊️.”
@wilmer_royale:
“I never met my dad. I was around 6 months old when he passed… but God has been faithful. Sometimes you wish otherwise, sometimes you cry, and most times I wanna make him proud. A very challenging pain to deal with, but God that allows it will always give strength. I’m so sorry, baby girl. He’s your angel.”
@tashizzzles1:
“Man, this breaks my heart. I love you Kairo without meeting you, I keep you in my thoughts and conversations baby girl. I lost my father at the age of 17. I’m now 27, but I still miss him and cry for him. I’m so broken by your loss.”
