how sad

Remember the guy who called me his aunt and said he was my son?

Well, he wrote me back:

Dear Rev. Adrienne Populi,

Regarding, the perspective of calling you Aunty, this is symbol of respect here in Africa as we do respect anybody that is our parents category, but if this annoyed you, I am soory about.

I am writing you this mail just let you know that mum did not survive the operation, she died after the operation and I have been so sad all these while which is the reason why I have not writen you.

I will communicate with you again.

Saimon.
