A DECADE OF MISSING YOU, A LIFETIME OF LOVING YOU

Its ten years since that Monday morning, 14TH December 2015, when life quietly split into “before” and “after “Ten years since we received the news that reshaped our world in ways we could never have prepared for.

A decade later, grief has changed shape. It is no longer the loud, choking storm it once was. it has softened into a quiet ache , a gentle tug at the heart when a song you loved plays, when a memory surfaces unexpectedly, when we catch glimpses of you in the small habits we inherited without noticing.

Though time has continued its steady march, the place you held in our lives remains tender and unchanged.Your kindness, your steady presence, your quiet strength, and the love you poured into us still simmers gently in our hearts. We carry your lessons in how we work, how we keep family close, how we love, how we persevere.

In these ten years, the family has grown in number, in love, and in strength.

Today, we honour you with gratitude, not sorrow; with celebration, not despair.Though we miss you more than words can express, we are comforted knowing you rest in God’s eternal peace.

Forever in our hearts Dad. From your loving wife -Mukonyo; Your dear children -Wanjiku, Kinuthia, Wambui and Muli. And your grandsons! Mesta, Gee, Gatheru, Manzi, Kabata and Kiuna.

 

CYRUS JIRONGO

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend, former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo.

Jirongo was a relentless go-getter, a seasoned businessman, and a consummate politician who refused to be defined, let alone defeated, by life’s challenges.

He was a fighter in every sense: blunt yet warm, bold yet approachable, enlightened and endlessly entrepreneurial.

Above all, he was generous to a fault; always willing to give, to uplift, and to back others with his time, resources, and belief.

Never one to shrink from a tough stand or a grand idea, he lived on his own terms and left an indelible mark on our political landscape.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, my friend

President William Ruto.
