Speaking with Victoria Rubadiri on Victoria’s Lounge revealed some of the hardships he has had to face. He said,

“Janet died on April first and on April fifth was our son’s birthday and we decide we are having it anyway.the massive pain is there is a 7 and a 4-year old who will never see their mother again, it breaks you when you see that.”

He is however grateful to have his nanny around as she has ensured to keep his family on their feet as he said,

“my nanny of seven years has just held the house on a system, my house never lacks. its a fully functioning house.”

He went on to add that after deciding to do away with her clothes – but this was the hardest time of his life as he said:

“we sleep the three of us, my son, daughter and myself. we decided to re-do their rooms,the maids in the house needed to re-arrange the room. all Janet’s clothes were gone.even her most intimate clothes were packed into bags and starched on drawers in the spare bedroom.”

Though it was hard to this there was no other way as the clothes she left behind could not fill the void in his heart. He said,

“I broke down completely and started to realize these clothes are not Janet. I would never have moved those clothes for three years but i started realizing that’s not Janet. I went, closed myself in the spare room, pulled down those bags, started tearing through them and i realized these clothes are not Janet. i sealed them back.”
