Actor Yomi Fabiyi has opened up about the extent of his closeness with his late mum, and how much he revered her. According to the actor, he wishes all mothers could live forever or at least till the age of eighty before death ever comes calling, because, again, in his words, there is not a better investor, loyalist, and backbone than a mother. He said he and his mum used to share his toothbrush when she was living with him and couldn’t find hers.
The seasoned filmmaker added that after his mum passed, he continued using her toothbrush for another year. He went on to reveal how much he hurts from losing her, calling it a pain that will take a lifetime to get over.
He said sharing toothbrushes was his way of bonding with his mum and “my way of worshipping my mother.” He concluded his post by admonishing people whose parents were late to visit and tend the tombs and also make supplications at the sides of the tombs.
He wrote:
My LATE MUM’S TOOTH BRUSH. Practically I used this brush for another 1 year after she passed on.
When she was alive and living with me. If she misplaces her BRUSH, I simply ask her to use mine. As an adult, that was one of the things I have as evidence of physical bonding with my mother, my way of worshiping my mother. I miss my mum and it will take a lifetime to get over the pain.
I wish all good mothers live forever or a little over 80yesrs before anything death. No better investor, loyalist and backbone better than MOTHERS.
Let me use this medium to appeal to those who have their mother’s tombs in sight. Saw some tombs at thr cemetery and look like their children didn’t know it is destroyed, untidy or practically abandoned. Going there to pray and say some words once in a while especially during anniversaries can be impactful. The TOMB know the truth and stand by the truth than any other.
Consult it when in tight corners, just be honest with your supplications.
