“I don’t even know where to begin. The weight of you being gone keeps hitting me in waves. One moment I’m fine, the next I can’t breathe. How is that possible? How is someone so full of life just… not here anymore? 😔
“I keep thinking about our story. The one I wrote in my journal, remember? I told you I gave you a different name—Liam—so that if the journal ever got lost, no one would know it was you,” she said.

Nadia Buari recounted how she told Alexx Ekubo about the diary and his heartwarming response, which has never left her mind.

“You smiled and said, 'I like the name, Liam.” I don’t think you knew how much that moment meant to me. 🥰…You made something that felt heavy, feel light, and almost fun. That was you. Always making things better just by being there. 🫂,” she continued.

Nadia Buari added that she felt sad that, as Alexx withdrew more and more from those who knew and loved him, she did not push more to reestablish their relationship.

“ I thought I was respecting your space. I thought you just needed time. So I didn’t call. I didn’t show up. I just prayed. Every single night, I prayed for you,”
