My father passed when I had just turned 13 years. The age 13 was symbolic because it represented my debut into manhood. It was the age my father and I would finally get to bond. You should know that my father was a great man to everybody but me. I came into a life where he was greatly respected and adored. Before I could speak properly, the words “hope you will be a great man like your father” was etched to my soul.
