“After the death tragedy was published on social media, the biggest trouble came to me. I’m sick too. Dad is sick too. There is no end to the calls. Tired of answering phones. There were people who were really interested in finding out about Dad as well as those who were struggling to find the gossip and update that gossip. I was so fed up that I put the phone aside for a few days.
