Hannah Ngina ‘C’ Mbugua

Unveiling of The Cross

Tuesday 16th Dec 1997 – Sunday 8th Aug 2021

Not all beautiful flowers bear thorns….The 16th day of December 2023 marks the twenty- sixth year since the birth of our dear daughter, sister, aunt, niece and grandchild Hannah Ngina ‘C’ Mbugua. And in this same year, we commemorate the second anniversary of her sad demise. In what flavour do you bake a tombstone birthday cake, if ever there was one, for one so loved?

We were left so undone, forlorn, weeping and keeping long vigils by the silent settling unsettling dust. Indeed only by burning itself did our candle spread light.

But for our precious Ngina ‘C’s sake we pray for strength and grace to turn again to life and maybe one day smile again.We nerve our hearts and with still trembling hands are doing our best to accept this heartrending parting and making sense of this loss, by comforting other shattered hearts through our painful experience of losing our dear Ngina ‘C’.

This pain doesn’t go away, instead it finds a nesting place in the heart and makes its’ bed, becoming a part of us, waking up and sleeping in tandem with us. Our dear nestling became a fledgling too soon.

To mark her birthday, we shall hold a Memorial Mass and Unveiling of her Cross on Saturday 16th December 2023 at Cianda, 1300hrs, We kindly request guests to be seated by 1230hrs.

Fare thee well Hannah Ngina ‘C’ Mbugua. In Gods arms till we meet again.
