USA-based Ugandan socialite Nalongo Sheila Don Zella was forced to evoke fond memories of her late husband Junten as her daughter Briella prepares to graduate.
On Friday, Briella will be graduating from elementary school to middle school and Don Zella is excited to see her daughter advance from one stage of life to another.
As the two had a deep conversation about how they planned to celebrate the graduation, she popped a question about what her dad would say or do if he was present for her big day.
Immediately, Don Zella’s tears started rolling down her cheeks as she recounted all the good and sweet things that her late hubby used to do for them.

She took to her Facebook page and revealed how challenging life can be for a widow in the diaspora as she sometimes looks for a shoulder to lean on but always fails.
Don Zella’s hubby died in 2021 while in Dubai where he was working. He was buried in the United States of America by Don Zella and his family.
The late husband was the biological father of Don Zella’s two older children and a foster father of the last-born Britton.
Below is Don Zella’s full post:
