The man, who had known their father for about four decades, went above and beyond, taking responsibility for the siblings’ academic welfare.
His involvement didn’t end there as he also maintained regular contact, checking in on their wellbeing even after they completed their studies.
Her narration painted a heartwarming picture of a man who treated them like family, refusing to let the pain of their father’s demise affect them negatively.
She said:
“Most people walk away after the funeral. My Dad’s best friend stayed for 14 years. They were friends for 40 years. When I lost my Dad, he didn’t just offer condolences he ensured that all seven of us graduated from university. That 40-year friendship didn’t end at the grave. To this day, he still texts us every week to make sure we’re okay. He never let us become orphans.”
