Today was heavily laden with the pain of remembering the day Dad died.🥀
It was also the first anniversary on which I was able to look back on his LIFE and genuinely smile, remembering. For that, my heart is glad. ❤️
When your Luhya mother prays for you before you embark on a long trip, she does not call the vehicle you are using as a car/bus/matatu - she calls it ‘chombo kilichoumbwa na mikono ya binadamu’
I just remembered the time I went on a first date to London Zoo and at the gate he asked if I would mind paying for my own ticket, which I said I would, at which point he pulled out a 2-for-1 voucher, so I paid for my ticket and he went in for free.
That video with Emory nurses got folks telling their personal horror stories about the exact nurses in the video. Nobody in HR going home for the holidays.
