“No words can truly describe this moment. These are just words to show the state of our hearts. If I knew I would lose you all one day, I would turn back the hours and do a million different things. I would have more fun with you, enjoy and spend more time with you. I would be more careful, more careful, I would tell you more often,” he said.

He added to reflect on the pain of letting go and thanking God for allowing him to love and share happiness with his children while they were on earth.

“I am grateful that God gave me only happiness, laughter and the security of having complete love for you, because when the time came, there was no room for discussion. Otherwise, I would have shouted and written this message through endless tears, wishing for another chance to see you again. Now, I must learn to breathe again.

“If only I could turn back the clocks of time. But now I must look forward to a different time, in the hands of the Father, where I will still love you all,” added Wangui.
