Musician Jackie Chandiru has opened up about her biggest regret in life: not embracing her father and spending time with him before his death.
Jackie Chandiru, during her interview with NRG Radio, was asked to mention one thing she would change about her life if given the opportunity to go back in time. Close to two years ago, she lost her father, Mr. Felix Wesley Eyaa, who succumbed to illness at Arua Regional Referral Hospital.
Before his death, Chandiru revealed that they had a misunderstanding and were not on good talking terms. She confessed that she cut off communication because, in her mind, she wanted him to feel the pain of hurting her.
Despite falling terribly sick, Chandiru revealed that she never imagined that her father would exit this world, and she continued her rebellious attitude until she learnt that he was seriously ill.
As a family, they were meant to travel on Saturday, but she couldn’t because she had a show and postponed her travel plans to the next day.
Unfortunately, on Friday night, when she was in the studio, she got the sad news that her father had passed on. Jackie, while narrating her ordeal, broke down in tears, expressing regret for not talking to him earlier. She confessed that those who had spent time with him during his last days told her that he had apologized to her, something that torments her to this day.

“I lost my dad, and we had issues, but because I have a big head, I didn’t want to talk to him. I wanted him to feel that I was so pissed, and even when he was sick, I didn’t think about it. The last thing on my mind was him dying, and I wanted him to first feel the pain. Within that time, the people around had said he apologized to me. I regret the fact that I didn’t speak to him sooner, and the time I decided to speak to him. All the time he wanted to reach out, I didn’t,” Jackie Chandiru said, while crying heavily
If she had an opportunity to tell her father one last word from deep down her heart, “It is okay, Daddy,” she said.
