Field Marshal
Elder Lister
She was just 22. A daughter really, though no blood relation.
A Corinthian. Not even educated. But extremely lovely and beautiful. Respectful. Bubbly and always happy. A breath of fresh air.
As she served me tea where she worked she would tease me.
"Guks, mbona hujanyoa ndevu leo. Hauna pesa ya wembe? Guks, eacha kuniangalia hivo! Mimi ni mjukuu..." Etc, etc
Yesterday, she got an epileptic fit at night and died. At 22, the angel is gone. I just can't believe it. I wish I was there for her.
Imeniuma sana, tena sana. Daughters/grand daughters should never die before their guks. Imeniuma.
Go well sweetheart. As you cross the river may your boat be warm and dry. May the sun shine on your face, and the wind blow in your hair. Ukome kwega kuuraga, mami Witu.
You were much loved, kanyina kanini.
