Love, Loss, and Learning: A Journey Through Grief

Dear Dad,

It's been exactly three years since you left us, and the world hasn't been the same without you. Time has flown by, but it feels like we're stuck in a time warp, still trying to catch up with the reality of your absence. We are all doing great, but we all miss you more than words can express. The truth is we are hanging in there, though it hasn't been smooth sailing for all of us.

Let me update you on what's been happening in this crazy rollercoaster called life. First things first, Mum has been an absolute rock. She's been here for us, supporting us through thick and thin. But you know her, always managing to sneak in a few nightmares and cries when she thinks no one's watching. She's shed some pounds and gained them back, a real rollercoaster, just like life itself. And, hey, her business is flourishing. She's got her hands full with that, but she's handling it like a boss.

Guess what, Wayne has become a full-fledged accountant! He's balancing the books like a pro, but he's also managed to find a special someone. Yes, our little guy is all grown up and navigating the mysteries of love. He’s moving out soon, I may hang in with Elsa a little before she goes to school, in 7 years, I am now figuring out how to live on my own. Should I marry right away, what do you think?

Elsa has also graduated, looking as stunning as ever. She's even got herself a charming boyfriend, and I'm yet to meet this lucky guy. If only you were here, you'd know just the right way to scare him off, right? Paying their fees wasn't a walk in the park, but we did it! Maybe I should invoice them for the stress they caused, huh? Kidding, kidding! We'll manage just fine.

On a personal note, I lost someone special too. She found a new chapter in her life, and while it's been tough, I'm learning to embrace the changes. I always wish her well, you would have seen her that very December you were hospitalized, maybe we would be married by then –but that is life. Things didn’t work out and we both moved on. You always said life's a journey, and boy, it's had its twists and turns. But don't worry, I'll figure it out, just like you taught me.

In the bigger picture, things are a bit chaotic. Raila lost the election, and now Ruto is in power. You know how politics can be a wild ride. We've been facing some challenges, and the cost of living is through the roof. Riots and protests are becoming a regular occurrence, but we're staying hopeful for better days ahead.

Your legacy lives on, and your impact on all of us is immeasurable. We are all still together, like the tight-knit team you created. We keep your memory alive, helping those in need, just like you always did.

Keep watching over us from wherever you are, Dad. Life may throw us some curveballs, but we'll keep swinging. We miss you every day, but we'll hold onto the memories and keep moving forward.

Until we meet again, Dad.

With love,

Your Son.
