Today, I was feeling tired and fatigued...the first I have been since the time you passed on... you were a phenomenal person...its difficult to reconcile your departure from this life....still adjusting...I remember you taught me how to scramble my first egg.....schooled me diligently on etiquette and always providing helpful hints on how to resolve my issues...relationship stuff....matters of faith...you had a habit sometimes that was annoying to me...almost each day...you called me to check on how I was doing...even when there was no story or issue to discuss...you saved my life once literally when I was unwell...you were at your first job soon after graduating...ooh and the scolding...and correction...sometimes I found your words harsh...harsh but said in love because I could get stuck to thinking in a way that everything was my fault and everything was my responsibility....I am forever grateful for your friendship...guidance sharing the family we were born into....we joked often how we would be different from some of our relatives....if and when I found a family...I will share the best parts of the memories I have with them...they may never get to call you Aunty....but I will ensure they know the effect you had not just on me and the family...but also in the positive relationships you had....I thank God for you...I thank God for your life.....may you continue to be a blessing in the next life....I thought about the Potter and the clay...how the potter shapes the clay into what He wants...I thought about a farmer who goes to the garden and picks the ripest and best product e.g. tomatoes or fruits...some are picked in the quantity and quality needed and others are left ... you are now with the Lord of Hosts, the Giver of Life..the best and safest Hands you could be in and with.....we are on the journey there at some point...as the burial anniversaries for Dad and Kungu come in the next 1 week....our hearts may be heavy but we thank God for the 3 of you who have passed on ahead of us....now were 4 left in the immediate family...we leave and commit to God the future, present and past...privileged to have shared the journey of life with you till the time you left.....I will do my level best to keep your memory alive and change some of the core things I need to change in my life....I can only thank God for you dearest sister....and thank God for His steadfast grace, comfort, love and strength...He has never left us...He still walks with us in our hearts and He is faithful even when He and life doesnt make sense
