my kinda story,,,back in 2000 on 24th august (i was 8 yrs old)i came home from school only to find so many people and white tents at home in the village.Nobody had the courage to tell me what was going on but i could tell there was something wrong.Evening came and it was time for news...weeeh ...everyone came near the radio kuskia news.kumbe my mom was already gone na the advert was already on Radio.The news fell on deaf hears...weeeeee..i cried..anyway we was left an orphan(no dad)at 8,5 and 3.i had to bring my brothers up.18 years later i still remember the pain.i dont know where i got the strength from but so far i have taken care of them and still will continue till they become.death complicates life but the living can make the it worth living.
At 10 (in 2001), I lost my mom, I had a 2yr old brother and a 12yr old brother, so I took care of the youngest, only God healed my inner person because losing a mother at such a young age robs you of being a child, coz you have to fend for yourself and your siblings, I am grateful for the strength God gave me. Today, me and my older brother are working, while the youngest is in 2nd year University. How grateful can I be? I wish you all the best
That happened when our dad became ill till he died. Things changed, from food to school fees to losing friends. Our dads rich friends, relatives desappeared. No one came to our rescue. Anyways, no blames. We learned to stand up and move on.RIP dad, mum is smiling next to you now. She really fought for us till her last breath on Jan 1st 2017. Thank you!
"It helps to stay down and listen to life as it counts you down,just as it gets to ten you wake up and show life's complications that you can also count."....Thank you Sir
Death complicates life but those who hold on to God come out victorious! 2004 the same year I lost my Dad, 2005 my Mum joined him. Looking back I thank God as I recount of how God has carried us along me and my 4 siblings.
Very inspiring!! I totally relate to this story...I am also a first born raised by a single mother with my four other siblings.I can truly say the far we've come its by the hand of God and my loving mum's sacrifices
What a timely testimony from Henry Githaiga! Isn't it incredible that our once seemingly feeble attempts at salvaging our lives become the stuff of legend when we are telling our tales of victory?
Am so proud of you Henry,as a neighbor and childhood friend you are such a great inspiration.Thanks for sharing your story Githaiga....Glad you came out of Dusit safe.Baraka tele.

It took me longer than I thought to watch this because i really didnt want to start looking for whoever is cutting onions around me...but I'm glad i finally got the courage and watched it. Brilliantly told, you sir are inspiring and your mother is a star, ' tondu niwe werihagira?' hehee i was on the floor, typical mothers. She is a true shujaa.
A great story of sacrifice,for sure nothing comes easily,glad that for now you all enjoying the fruits and more sure that your mother is the happiest mama ever,God bless.
Thanks dear. At some point we all have to make due with what we have but in the end it is the strength of those around us that keep us going. My mum was that pillar of strength
When I came from school to find out my papa is no more I thought it was the end of life, it took me years to heal, I would cry at school for no reason, I became aggressive rude I would shout at people healing is journey, I wish j could apologise to people I was rude, I still shade tears as I write I work and wish my papa was alive to accept something from me, I salute my mummy for raising 6kids RIP daddy
What an inspiring story🎉! It tells us that we should always be ready for the unexpected. Life is pretty uncertain😬, so always be braced💪 & be prepared for the worst case scenario😊
I’m at that point,withdrew everything and I now have nothing to my name but hope,a new job and a beginning to my story. I choose to be positive and look forward to doing life having learned from my mistakes.
be strong im also going through that phase in my life right now but everyday im grateful to have life and i know that no situation is permanent and always be positive
Engage Talk thank you..this date falls on a planned weekend already with extended family...I will hope to know the next date, time, damage on pocket and venue. I'll deeply appreciate it for planning...if its not too much to ask..keep me in the loop.
The feminist movement in kenya has made it look like fathers are becoming irrelevant. The role of fathers must never be underrated. Thank God for your strong mother and more for your father who's absence was deeply felt.
