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.

5th Anniversary

To Daddy, It’s been 5 years since you went home to be with the Lord. You have been missed every day. When you left us suddenly we knew that things would never be the same. Wangechi carries the “Dr” mantle now. At the time you left 4 grandchildren behind you would have been so proud to know that you gained 2 more (Esther and Serena).

We are all parents and the example you and mummy set for us, it’s paying dividends as we raise our children. We learned so much about being a parent from you, even though at the time we never thought we would be parents ourselves. You gave us the gift of a good example and it’s a gift that keeps on giving.

We are so honoured to call you “daddy” and to have been raised by a wonderful and caring father. We will be sure to use your water strategy for waking our little ones up when they grow older. We can still hear your slippers walking through the hallway in the morning on school days! All the cherished memories we still hold in our hearts. Remembering you is easy to do; it’s the missing you that is mostly hard for all. Still we are comforted in knowing that you are in a better place.

We pray that you continue to rest in peace dear dad. From you we learned to see a world full of possibilities and opportunities. Your kindness, patience, intelligence, wisdom understanding, good humour goes beyond us – you impacted the lives of everyone along the ay of your life journey. Thank you for being the best daddy, grandpa, husband, counsellor, and mentor that anyone could ever have. We miss you big and can’t wait for the reunion in heaven!

We love you!!!

1st Anniversary

It is exactly one year since the Lord called you home, yet we remember the day like it were yesterday. The memories still fresh in our minds, the pain still tugging at our hearts. We would like to thank all the friends and relatives who stood by us during that difficult time, to ensure that you had a deserving send off and that the virtues you always stood by, would remain the essence of our strength.

A light from our lives has gone

A voice we loved is still

A place is vacant within our hearts

which never can be filled

A bouquet of beautiful memories

sprayed with a million tears

I wish God could have spared you

if just for a few more years

We hold you close within our hearts

And there you will remain

To walk with us throughout our lives

until we meet again

Fondly missed by all who called you Husband, Dad, Brother, Guka, Uncle, friend and mentor.
