A makeup artist in the last stages of cancer is making recovery and she’s been documenting her experience in the last few months.
Buntricia Bastian became an internet sensation a few months back after her plea to have her ashes returned to Nigeria when she passes on hit headlines.
The Instagram post shared on the 3rd of June read:
It is with deep sorrow and much regret that I must say goodbye to all. My lungs are gone and my heart is only working at 30%. I for the first time have ran out of words to say other than I love you and I already miss you. IF I could put all the love that I feel right this minute from the people that I have already said my goodbyes to I would live to be 150 years. Nigeria my husband is bringing my ashes home so welcome him”.
