Actress and TV host Osas Ighodaro has paid an emotional tribute to her late mother five years after her death.
Osas shared a picture of her mum on Instagram on Tuesday with the caption:
“Yesterday, today and always. I love and miss you so much Mummy. 5 years gone already. May God continue to covet you in His love and embrace you my sweet guardian angel. I pray I’m making you proud. Forever in our hearts my Queen 🕊️🕊️.”
Her mother, Patricia Imuetinyan Ighodaro, died on November 4, 2020, at the age of 65.
The actress announced the death on Instagram at the time, writing, “RIP Mummy, Nov 10th, 1955 – Nov 4th, 2020. Pls wake me up.”
Speaking in past interviews, the Rattlesnake star revealed that her mother’s death changed her outlook on life. “I’m going to live my life and represent her legacy to the best of my ability. I was so self-conscious before but who cares at this point,” she said.
Osas also admitted that grief has been a long and painful journey. “It’s almost been five years since my mum passed away and the pain never goes away. From time to time the emotion takes over… I’ve learnt to allow it to take its course, brush it off and keep it moving,” she said in an interview.
The 34-year-old actress continues to honour her mother’s memory through her work and yearly tributes on social media, expressing gratitude for the love and strength her late mother left behind.
