        Never knew who my father was but this morning my 7y old son gave me 4 separate hugs and kisses before he went to school and I to work. Fathers sons mothers daughters don't ever forget to say goodbye every time you part ways. It could be last time.... ❤

        Poor little lad - nothing prepares you for losing your dad. (Lost mine in January). Just want to give him a hug.

        While it’s heartening to see how social media has helped, for this incident to happen 70 years after independence is itself a big blemish on the race of this country!

        No child should see their dead father or mother it's heart rendering - something most of us don't have to until adult hood. So very sad.
