Finally!! Yvonne Nelson Announces Her Dad’s Passing | Shares A Heartfelt Message
Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson is mourning her late dad.
Many had asked why she had not uttered a word on her dad’s passing but the actress who has on several occasions denied the existence of a real father and referred to her mum as the father figure has broken the silence.
In a post on Instagram, the actress shared one of the two pictures she ever had with her father with a caption that’s left many wondering considering the picture she ever painted about her dad while alive.
Read her post from below.
Rest In Peace Father. This picture was taken on the 6th of this month…, i have only two pictures with my Father, and this is one of them…..so much I wanted to talk about…..so much I wanted to say…..but God knows best….I know you are in HEAVEN……
I know we’ll meet again and talk about it all…..there were days I cried to my mum to bring me to yours……there were days I couldn’t wait to see you and talk to you just for a minute….I longed to hold your hand…..I longed to sit on your lap…..I longed for all of that……can we still do that when I see you in HEAVEN??
Can we start all over again?? Can we correct the mistakes??? I longed for you so much. I have nothing but love for you…….❤in His last days….he always mentioned God in everything he said…why?? Because there’s no one GREATER ?? sleep well father #MRNELSON
In an interview for Genevieve Magazine in 2015, the award-winning actress said her father was not happy about her birth and was later surprised to find out that she sat in the same classroom with her step-brother.
She revealed that even though she had an amazing stepfather, “I always wished I could have had him in my life.”
“When I was born, I guess, my father was not happy about my birth, so he wasn’t there for me. He chose not to be a part of my life; a single mother raised me. She trained me from kindergarten to University. My father was never there. That created a vacuum in my childhood. But I’m grateful that I had my mum and she did all she could to make sure that I lacked nothing.”
She also spoke of some disappointments with her dad.
“When I was younger, I met him and I told him I wanted a pair of shoes for Christmas and he told me, he was going to buy me three or four pairs. My excitement knew no bounds when he said that. Guess what? He never fulfilled that promise; I waited for those shoes for a very long time, but they never came.”
“At a point I asked my mum, and she said, listen, if he wanted to do as he said, your shoes would have gotten here a long time ago, so better move on. At another time, while he was in London I asked him to take me with him. And he told me not to worry, that he would come for me. I waited and waited, and he never did. The two times he ever promised me something when I was growing up, he failed to fulfill them. That has never left my mind.”
Is this a case of glorifying the dead or Yvonne tried to make peace with her dad while alive?
