My uncle Larry is gone again, yet another veteran with dreams left unachieved and unfulfilled, haaa😭😭😭😭I remember the last time I saw him before I took him for this photo shoot, he said and I quote “Foluke pls don’t lemme die without printing these books out and launching it”and he made me promise I will help him achieve this to reality. That was y we (@phursuns and myself) to take these photographs with the intention to use them for the books and the event to launch them, then he fell ill and he had to travel to his home state and the next thing I hear is he’s GONE😭😭😫😫😫😨😨😨😱😱😱 though he wasn’t a young man to die but how do I deal with the guilt that I feel so deep and strong of me not being able to fulfill uncle Larry’s dreams of publishing his books???
