Daniel Chege Ndua

Dear Toddler,

That’s what we call two-year-olds in our world so, yeap.. Suits you. Anyway, having to leave the comfort of the bed to go get you eggs or soda or a newspaper or having to cook you lunch at times never used to settle down very well. However, today we all would give anything for just a single activity with you. Though truth is if we get even one more hour, we would not be able to let go because there is no easy way to break a heart. Going home became an activity that we dread, as everything is a constant reminder that you walked out and you are not going to walk back in. Each saliva became harder to swallow. Each breathe more difficult to take. Each stair harder to climb. Each tear more painful to shed. We had to get used to seeing faces that we were not used to, not seeing faces of people we were used to. Everything became colder, the clouds darker, the questions unanswered, the days longer, the nights sleepless, but most of all, your natural cologne and personality became a constant shadow as if everyone had taken it up.

It has been two years, but for us, it seemed like centuries but as someone wise once said, you learn to live with it. So it doesn’t matter how far you are from us, for you’re always right beside us and we, right there beside you, being that one big happy family. From us it is a Haaaappy birthday.

Cherished by your family, friends from all circles and colleagues.
