Fred Teer Mop, a Nigerian gentleman who recently lost his only son, Abraham, has shared deeply poignant messages on Facebook.
In one of his posts, Fred, who laid his son to rest just two days ago, expressed his heartache, revealing that his aspiration was for his son to serve as a priest in the Catholic Church. He wrote, “My Lord my God, why have you forsaken me? I anticipated a day when I would kneel before you, oh Lord, and testify of your goodness and mercy in thanksgiving, and your name would be glorified.”
“Regrettably, my struggles and sacrifices have seemingly been in vain. You have made me a subject of ridicule in the eyes of my adversaries. Rest in peace BABA, my beloved son. Your untimely passing undoubtedly casts a shadow over my remaining days on this earth. Go ahead, my son, for I will follow you soon.”
“Aondo Ter Sha Mimi yo u hemba. Dear beloved son, I and your mum prayed to God everyday for you ( male child) to come to this world through us; God answered our prayers after several years and you finally came amidst wide jubilations
“Then I gave you the name SON-SHATER(We asked through Christ) and we presented you to God in appreciation through the HOLY BAPTISM and gave you the name “ABRAHAM” meaning ” Father of all nations” been the reason we fondly call you BABA. My dream for you was to offer you to God to serve in his vineyard as a PRIEST IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, a dream I couldn’t actualized myself.
“But your days on this earth were majorly characterized by a lot of health challenges; I sacrificed all in order to make sure you stay alive but God has finally said “NO” you should go and rest with him leaving my dreams shattered and my sufferings and sacrifices all in vain.
I have lost almost everything now. I thought I was a strongman until your death. Infact, in less than 24hrs after your demise, I have contemplated suicide twice. Standing helplessly watching your lifeless fresh body lowered into your final abode remains a dream to me.
My heart is completely broken.
“Only God who allowed this to happen can fix it back. The pains and trauma is seemingly too much for me to handle. How I wish you return back to life and see what your mum, I and your siblings(sisters) are going through right now. Indeed, God has proven superiority over life once again. Who are we to question him? Aondo Ter Sha Mimi yo u hemba we tswen. BABA za dedoo se mba van,”
