Nind maber Nyondiek!
Mama we loved you but God loved you most. If there’s anything we learnt from you, it is bravery, humility, religiosity and above all, love. Mama, words alone cannot describe your person. One thing is for sure. Anyone who came along your way left with something new. I remember the many years we toiled with you and baby in the farm with nostalgia. Our days in Kinda… Ambira etc. Pass my love to baby etc. Rest in peace Piri. Love you.
Mama, you are a wonderful lady. Words are not sufficient to describe you. I think about you every so often and it keeps me going. I miss you so much. My consolation is that you are with the Lord and you are no longer in pain. I pray that one day i will reach a point where i can think of you with a smile and not tears. Rest in peace my mother.???
Happy mothers Day jaber!!?
Oh mummy!
You were such a beautiful soul,the greatest pillar of our family…this one year has been tough.
I hope you are happy with the angel!
Till we meet again.
Mummy,on this day you were so strong in our eyes yet struggling so much,if only we knew you were jst being a mother.we were so hopeful all was gonna be ok now that we had known where the problem was..
Mama nikwalowa!
Mama, how have you been? I miss you so much. Last night, your mum(dana) kept me awake until past midnight, telling me stories about your childhood in nyahero, Uganda and kano and I was able to walk with you through your childhood. It was so real. I now understand you better. All those wonderful God given qualities. You were way above your agemates in so many wayss. We laughed and cried together. She didn’t know it was your anniversary and I dared not remind her because she misses you so much. You were and still is her favorite child. Every thought about you opens the flood gates of my tear glands. You were a very courageous woman. You gave us false hope on that fateful night of 20th March 2017. You sneaked out on us mama. WHY DID YOU DO THAT MAMA? You left behind so many orphans, some older than you. All your children miss you down here. You were out pillar,the decision maker. Congratulations mama,you brought up strong wonderful children but your demise has weakened all of us. Your legacy lives on though. You are resting with the angels,dad,Norbert,Baby,Afini,Bogi,Martin and your other loved ones. Greet them for us. Tell them that we love and miss them so much. Is baby resting near you? Tell her that I’ve so many stories that I wish to share with her in particular. Norbert must be entertaining you guys so much up there. We were deeply hurt when he followed you so soon after. Today of all days I feel like telling you so much but the pain in my heart is too much. Maybe, maybe one day,the pain May get dull but NOT NOW. no Matter the age,being an orphan is TERRIBLE.Nind gi kwe nyar gi Arodi. Lots of love from all your children. Mama, nyithindi gi Podi ywagi malich. Please intercede for us in heaven. We’re also praying for you. I love you mama. It’s s,so,so lonely down here without you.
it is well……
continue resting in peace mama.
Nya Kaluso,how I miss you madhe.Life has never been the same since you left.I feel a great void whenever I get into your bedroom and not see you smiling at me. These shoes are too big for me. I miss our stories and laughs including village gossips. Rest with the angels my dear. Home is so empty without you. Rest in peace mama!
