Ghanaian actress, model and film producer, Yvonne Nelson, has confirmed the death of her father which occurred on Monday, January 23.
Her initial silence was blamed on the fact that she was not close to her father as she did not grow up with him.
The 31-year-old however, posted a picture of her and the deceased on Instagram on Wednesday.
According to her, the picture which was taken on January 6 is one of the two she has of them together.
Reflecting on some of the things she missed not growing up with her father, she wrote in the Instagram post: “so much I wanted to talk about…so much I wanted to say…but God knows best.”
Taking solace in the belief that her father is in heaven, she added, “I know we’ll meet again and talk about it all”, asking “can we still do that when I see you in HEAVEN?? Can we start all over again?? Can we correct the mistakes???”
Contrary to the impression created in the past, the House of Gold star, who launched her career in Nollywood when she shot her first collaboration with Genevieve Nnaji in 2007, confessed “I have nothing but love for you”.
Yvonne expressed her feeling of estrangement from her father in an interview with Punch last year.
“My dad was not a part of my life because he wasn’t there for me,” she was quoted as saying.
“I almost do not say anything about him because there is no relationship or love between us. My dad is like any other person out there because I didn’t have a chance to develop a relationship with him.
“We have each other’s phone numbers and he calls me when he feels like talking to me. It always feels like talking to a random person because there are absolutely no feelings whatsoever.”
Yvonne is known to have celebrated her mother on Father’s Day and also on Mother’s Day with no reference to her dad.
