Big sister was so proud and happy to have you in her life. She surprised me, every morning before school she would ask about you Jaden, immediately after school, she wanted to see your face..there was no hint of jealousy at all in her. We miss you my angel...

Jaden Josef Karega, so peaceful and I thank God for allowing us to hold you and have precious memories. I miss you so much today, 1 week later my tears still flow freely, I miss the times we shared together my boy.

th photos r lovely Sly.
I asked myself i f u r wondering why 1wk later th world is still running as normal. why didn't time stop for a wyl to just allow healing so tht u dnt hv to play catch up later? then I realised that it's a good thing the world is running as usual cz it means Whoever ws in control last wk is still in control. our God is still in control. nothing has shaken Him for.nothing takes Him by surprise. He knows hw long it will take for u to b ok,n He's preparing things in th background awaiting ur return.
as th tears flow, He sees, n He's there for u. He alone who understands hw u r feeling is there for u.
may u remain comforted n strengthened.

Ems thank you for walking this road with us. Mush indeed I was in town yesterday and I felt lost, tears were so close, I wondered whether anyone knows my pain...memories were all over but all in all God saw me through the day. I later found my way to my mum's office and her shoulder was there for me to cry on and reassure me that it is well..

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Day 2

 After receiving news of death of a loved one, as one is grieving there are many things to be done regarding burial:where to bury, when to bury and how to bury. In Africa, relatives and the community start trickling in to comfort the family.  When a baby dies sometimes the family may have to decide whether to bury or allow hospital to do so.Sometimes the family may not know what to do or may just feel overwhelmed. Either way it's emotionally draining to make such decisions. I kept negotiating in my mind, this was not the plan, we were to take Jaden home not look for a funeral home andsite to bury him. Our family and friends supported us by accompanying us to hospital, pay bills, transfer baby to funeral home and assisted Alex in processing documents. They helped ask questions, ensure things were handled in a proper way. We never felt alone.  It is kind of the community to come visit the bereaved,it assures them of the love and support. Sometimes it can be overwhelming but...

Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...
