Mose no words can explain the pain am feeling right now, you were more like my small brother. I have met good people in my life, I keep saying if I was to rate you, I would give you a top mark, we became close because of my children, then the bond grew more during your wedding where you involved me and consulted me where necessary, you became free with me to a point of sharing your achievements with me because of the trust you had with me. I have seen you grow out of your hard work, you have shared with me about the kind of friends you have, Big people who you related with so well, because only great people like you can be able to have such without feeling small and intimidated, for you it was about doing what is right. It pains me that you are no more to accomplish a great dream you were having, you loved and cared for your young family, you truly valued them.
You left Mose without a proper goodbye, we had a conversation few minutes before the incident, we spoke twice, only after a few minutes to receive that traumatizing call from my daughter screaming Mose has been shot and in denial I asked Her which Mose? since I have just spoken to Him and she kept saying Mum ni Mose ni Mose, those words keeps ringing in my head piercing my heart, I keep asking myself, what if I had not sent you, would you still be alive? your death pains me Mose, it deeply hurts.
That night you went to be operated on, we waited for you patiently, we were hopeful and worried at the same time, you came out of the operation room, I thanked God that you survived, we came to see you and when you heard my voice you held my hand and squeezed it like you wanted to confirm to me yes! you have won the battle, I still can't understand what Really happened, I was confident you will be well or so you wanted us to believe.
That last conversation we had was on Sunday and it keeps replaying in my mind, that early Sunday morning you asked your wife Purity to call me, you said you wanted to see me, I went to church happy and thanking God for you, I was excited that you could talk again, I felt joy and thanked God for you, I came to see you at 1p.m, I said Mose is back, because you looked Okey and you were not in pain, was I wrong to believe you were okay?, Is it that you wanted me to come so you can say goodbye or was it so I can assure you that Purity will be taken care of so you can rest? I kept telling you to stop worrying about other people and focus on your healing, clearly that day you were unsettled, I remember your words when we were about to leave and I quote "kuai indo ici tondu ndikaria ringi" I thought you meant you didn't want the items to spoil since you will be on tubes for a while, little did I know you were saying goodbye, we all left hoping to see you the following day, only to be woken up the following morning by that distress call from Purity, I was shocked and in disbelief. At that moment I remembered a scripture that had popped on my screen the previous night Hebrews 13:16, "And do not forget to do good and to help one another, because these are the sacrifices that please God."
That verse described you so well, you are the kind that helps people without expecting anything in return, at that point I knew God was trying to tell me something about you and to also speak to me about the importance of doing good and helping other people like Christ commands.
You were too young to die, a good person you were, very respectful, the only person who consistently called me Mama Shi. You were too good to my family especially my children, they loved you, they played with you everytime you would come to my house which was almost like daily. Because of that true friendship we shared, I promise to keep Purity close, Sam will never lack and I pray to God to help me keep that promise, I'll serve them just like you served us. I will truly miss you Mose, I'll miss your efficiency in your work , I'll miss the sound of your bike at my gate, I'll miss how you would save situation in my house whenever I was away or stuck and the kids needed something. It's just too painful to say goodbye to you but we cannot question the will of God as much as we are tempted to ask Why?
Rest in peace Moses
