"Long time no post, why? It’s been a hard few months, and I didn’t feel inspired," she wrote, admitting the weight of her loss. Vanessa, an advocate based in Australia, had been silent on social media, choosing to take time to process her grief away from the public eye.
She shared a video of a man discussing a millionaire’s advice and revealed that it reminded her of a conversation she had with her father before he passed away. "But as I was reading and scrolling, this popped up on my page, and it aligned so perfectly with a conversation I had with my dad @bishopkiuna," Vanessa explained.
Her message conveyed the depth of her emotions as she continued to mourn her father, saying, "I miss you deeply daily."
Despite the difficulties of the past few months, Vanessa ended her message on a hopeful note, expressing her desire for a fresh start. "May this new month be filled with inspiration," she wrote, signalling her readiness to move forward while cherishing the memories of her father.
