Jennifer Awele, the widow of late Nollywood actor Junior Pope, has written a touching tribute to her deceased husband on what would have been his 45th birthday.
Awele shared a video on her Instagram page on Wednesday, showcasing the late movie star joyfully playing with their children, as reported by Naija News. She reminisced about a fond memory from 2010 when he informed her that his birthday fell on the last day of the first week in May.
Awele conveyed her sorrow regarding the absence of surprises and the presence of tears on what would have been her late husband’s birthday.
As a reminder, Junior Pope suffered a tragic death on April 10, 2024, due to a boating accident while he was returning from a film shoot.
Awele wrote, “In July 2010, You Asked My Birth Date. I Asked For Yours, And You Said The Last Day In The First Week Of May, And I Said 7th? You Said (Smart With A Clap).
“It’s May 7th 2025, And I’m Not Celebrating You With My Different Birthday Surprises(I Doubt I Missed Any), Not With Candles And Cakes But With Tears And Memories And A Heart That Still Beats In Rhythm With Yours.
“I Had A Lot In Mind To Type, But At This Point, Words Fail Me.
“Happy 45th Birthday, Our Daddy In Heaven.
We Carry Your Love In Everything We Do.
Keep Watching Over Us Debonair”.
