Tonto Dikeh on 37 Years Without a Mother

One of the most striking details in her tribute was the admission that she spent 37 years of her life never knowing what it truly felt like to call someone "Mom." The actress wrote that the experience has given her a deep appreciation for how precious that word and that relationship really are.

She turned the tribute into an appeal to her followers, urging anyone who still has their mother alive to love, honour, and appreciate her, to call her, hold her a little tighter, and forgive the small disagreements. She wrote that even the ordinary moments, including minor arguments and everyday expressions of love, could one day become the very memories one would give anything to relive.

"I would give anything to be you right now, to hear your voice, to have those little fights, to feel that huge love, and simply to have one more moment with you," she wrote.
