Tosin “Silverdam” Damolekun, a Nigerian blogger, has shared his feelings of guilt over intentionally missing calls from his father until his passing. The media personality’s elderly father passed away after a prolonged illness, leaving him devastated.
In a post on his official Instagram page, Silverdam shared a video of his father’s coffin being gradually lowered into the grave, with a preacher offering prayers. Another post showed men carrying the casket to the burial site.
It’s a poignant and personal moment for the blogger, as he reflects on the guilt of missing calls from his father and the grief that comes with the loss.
Tosin Silverdam revealed the circumstances surrounding his father’s passing. He said that his father’s ulcer caused his death.
In a later piece, the blogger revealed that he sobbed when he had to dump sand on his father’s coffin because it dawned on him at that moment that he was never coming back.
Just two days before his death, Tosin claimed to have spoken with his father and even had plans to visit them and give them groceries and a deep freezer he had purchased for his mother.
The socialite revealed that the day before his death, he had even purchased medicine for his father and was purposefully ignoring his calls because he knew he wanted to express his gratitude.
He wrote, “That feeling when they are burying your father and you have to pour sand on his grave. I Cried, Like I Cried. That was when it dawned on me.”
“The Man I Still Spoke To 2 Days Before, Planning To Go Give Them Food Stuff And The Deep Freezer I Bought For My Mum. | Still Sent Money For Drugs A Day Before He Died. He Called Me To Thank Me But I Purposely Missed His Call With The Hope To Call Him Later Because I Knew He Just Wanted To Thank Me. It is well.”
