Yul Edochie recalls his late son on his 17th birthday: "I saw you in my dream"

In a recent post, Nollywood star Yul Edochie honors his late son Kambilichukwu Edochie's 17th birthday.

He wrote an open letter to his son, expressing how much he missed him and how he had only once seen him in a dream. He described the dream in detail in the post, saying that his son appeared happy. Additionally, he shared two photos of himself and his son from the previous year.

"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. 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. Seems you’re now playing basketball over there and left football. You looked very happy. Obviously, life over there is quite different from here," his post reads in part.

"Down here we’re doing our best to cope. It's not been easy without you around. The pain is terrible. 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. You're elevated now. Keep watching over us all. Keep flying, son. Till we meet again. Don't stop playing football. Happy 17th birthday, Son," he continued.

The second child of Edochie's first marriage to May Yul-Edochie was named Kambili. Several reports from March of last year said that he had a seizure and slumped while playing football at his school. The regrettable event happened a few months following Kambili's sixteenth birthday.
