To my greatest friend and mentor, I thank God for you and for allowing me to take care of you. I loved and cherished you with all my heart. I gave you the best and my all. I ensured that you were seen by the best doctors in this country, dressing you was my weakness and you were smart and modest all times! Yes, we had a special bond! I knew what to say to make you burst into laughter as held my hand ✋. You
had a special place in my heart, I keep your portrait in my bedroom and I just want to connect with you everyday. Watch over us and truly, I feel you near me every day. It’s tough for me but may the Almighty fill this void for me. I willl sincerely miss you Osiep Chunya! Nind gi Kwe osiepa, I trust the Lord we shall meet at the ressurection morning!
To my beloved dad..I still can’t believe you are gone and it had never crossed my mind that, one day, I will refer you as ‘the late’.So sad indeed…..Am always encouraged to celebrate the good times we had together with you and not the sad moments you that you are gone though it is really tough on me.They always say that, time heals but not really sure whether it will work for me on this but only God knows. Rest in peace japuonj banana kendo japuonjna.
