Darel you are my pride .
The reason why I work so hard and smart. I love you so much and you will be the best among your pairs .
You where that inspiration that birth every passion and craft. Thank you for giving me a reason to keep pushing . Happy birthday @officialdarelluckyokoh 🎂🎂💐."
According to the therapist, her son Darel Lucky Okoh was the main reason she stayed with his father despite getting physically abused by him.
"Darel lucky Okoh, tears of joy, you are my story. One reason I stayed with your father who almost killed me 10 years ago was because I felt I could not take care of you. But I did, I am doing it. I left you when you were just 8 months old.
I remember your father telling the judge in the law court as I fought for your custody that the reason he does not want to give you to me was because I was jobless, I can’t take care of myself not to talk of you, I am just a frustrated woman, he said I wanted you to me because I wanted to be collecting money from him.
I cried, I wept and I said God, give me my son back and I promise I will work my blood out to give him everything a child deserves. You gave me my son back after 5 years of battle from child welfare to customary court to high court, 5 terrible years of my life I did not see my child and finally I won the case.
It was out of depression that I birth this blog and that was the beginning of my break through on the social media space, you gave me a story son. The very first day my son Darel saw me ,after years he looked and me and asked who are you, I said I am your mother and from that day we bonded.
5 years of having you back I have done it alone on my own and I am proud of us. I love you son. As you move to the next stage of your life, may blessings follow you.
My pilot, my dream is for you to fly me one day not just in a plane, but in your own private jet.
Congratulations son, I love you, it's me your mother, your no.1 fan. I love you Darel lucky Okoh.”
