Cursory: In memory of his late daughter, a proud and distraught father stood on the graduation podium at Nelson Mandela University. @kgabodelly, a TikTok user, posted a video of him walking the stage while receiving support from academics. Netizens paid their respects and showed the man their love because they couldn’t Imagine the suffering he was going through.


Losing a kid should never be something that a parent has to go through. At Nelson Mandela University, one father crossed the stage to claim his late daughter’s degree.
Any parent who witnesses their child graduate will feel tremendous pride. But losing your child right before you get to go through it must be an indescribable agony.
@kgabodelly, a TikTok user, posted a video of a man accepting his late daughter’s degree. The professors consoled the man and expressed their admiration for his strength in doing this.
