“Day 3 of the toughest days of my life. Baba we were so close now. God why would you hurt me like this. To everyone that has supported me and sent messages, I thank you 😭😭😭😭 I’m a mess right now. I won’t be myself for some time i ask you to understand and respect that. God bless you, i ask that you respect and love your families. We are living in borrowed time.”
