Often Ive read about letters from a father to a son but hardly ever the other way around, below is one of those reverse letters. Dear Dad Firstly I wanna wish you a happy 53rd birthday, bringing a son like me and three other children to this planet, while simultaneously spreading your love beyond them when the man above gave you the chance was no mean feat. Though my memories of you are only as much as a six year old can remember, stories of your heroics and engineering feats make me wake up and and trudge to LS3A every morning, and weirdly they also make me stay up to chase dreams. Using a handbag belt to replace a car fan belt and journey halfway through the country is certainly ingenious and only God knows if Ill ever reach such a level of cognition. Love was something you spread, though the shona say wafawanaka , Im certain myths I hear about you arent just manifestations of such proverbs but are reality translated through oral tradition. You raised many children and today we stick together like glue, respecting each other just as you would have wanted us to. Sipping your green bolingers lager beer and peeping through my window on early saturday mornings to see you and Nick Junior Kwaramba going out the gate to prepare a home for us to stay is certainly a memory enshrined in my heart, a symbol of manliness, a symbol of a man doing what he can and should for those dearest to his heart. Rose Mugabe often talks about you and how you were different, how you spread love and humour effortlessly and contagiously. Dorcas Kwaramba , a lover of good food remembers early saturday morning yoghurt and the regular mondiigira machip kanamadzoka. While madzimai Gamuchirai GieGie KwAramba quips with a smile when we mention the famed name Gamch. The shona your actions follow you to the grave, youve defied that statement and your actions seem to stalk inspire and stick to us. Mommy misses you as much as we all do. Happy birthday dad. Regards Your son in whom your favour rests Tafadzwa Heath Kwaramba
