Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie shared a touching tribute on Instagram, marking what would have been the 17th birthday of his late son, Kambilichukwu Edochie, who tragically passed away in March 2023 while playing football at school.
As spotted by Quest Times, Yul, in a deeply emotional post, expressed the pain his family has endured since Kambilichukwu’s untimely demise.
However, he revealed a poignant moment of solace, sharing that he had prayed to see his son again, and in a dream, he did just that.
“Kambi yooooo! Happy 17th birthday, my great son. Hope you’re doing well over there. I never knew I’ll ever do a write-up like this, but here we are. Life,” Yul wrote.
Describing the dream encounter, he said, “I kept asking God to let me see you again, and he granted my wish. And I saw you once in my dream. You looked much taller and more handsome. And bigger. You were glowing.”
In the dream, Kambilichukwu seemed to have shifted interests, as Yul shared, “Seems you’re now playing basketball over there and left football. You looked very happy. Obviously, life over there is quite different from here.”
The actor also acknowledged the challenges of coping without his son, while expressing the strength required to be there for his other children.
Despite the pain, Yul emphasized resilience, writing, “But I’m strong. Very strong. I have to be strong for me and your siblings. While submitting totally to the will of God. We miss you. We love you, but God loves you more.”
