Brother's Passing Recalled After Actor's Memorial
Mary Ogom explained that she spoke with her brother on the very day he passed away. She recalled that the entire family had gathered on Christmas Day, December 25, 2024, for a reunion that included eating, talking, and taking a family photograph. Little did they know that photo would become a treasured memory.
In her emotional post, Ogom shared the final words her brother spoke to her over the phone before his sudden demise. She wrote: "Alexx Ekubo passing reminds me of a pain I have tried so hard to bury, the loss of my only brother. It was a loss that shattered me into pieces. I spoke with him on the very day he passed. On Christmas Day, 25th December 2024, we were all together as one family. We laughed, gisted, ate, and enjoyed each other's company. It had been a very long time since the entire family gathered that way, so we agreed to take a family photograph to preserve the beautiful moment. Little did we know that it would become one of our most treasured memories. On the 27th, I returned home with my children. The following day, my brother travelled to the village with our parents. Then came the morning of 29th December. Before the day unfolded, he called me and said they had arrived safely. He explained that he couldn't call the previous night because they got home late. That was our last conversation. If only I had known. If only I had known that those words would be the last I would ever hear from him, I would have stayed longer on the phone. I would have told him how much he meant to me. I would have held on to every second. But life doesn't always give us that chance. His death taught me a painful lesson: never take the people you love for granted. Sometimes the goodbye we don't know is a goodbye becomes the hardest one to live with. The pain has softened with time, but the void remains. Some wounds never truly heal; we simply learn how to carry them. Chekwas, Nwanne m. You may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Continue to rest on, Nnaa."
