In August 2016 I met a single mother of one. I liked her and sooner we began living together. It was a wonderful life. The child, a shy, humble and ever smiling little girl was about 4 years old when I married her mother. She called me daddy and I called her my daughter. The bond between us was so strong. On saturdays she would accompany me to work. On sundays the three of us would attend mass in the mornings and then go for evening walks in arboretums of nature trails. Ever christmas we went to Iten, a small town in near Eldoret. Life was great and love was plenty. However in 2020 there was a serious disagreement between me and my wife. We swperated in 2021 and she went away with my daugter. She however kept calling me using her mum's phone. The last call was on tuesday this gone week. She told me she was not feeling well. Her mother had also infomed me. I had plans to visit them this month, but the little girl passed on on thursday. I will attend her burial - just say goodbye. I will miss her so much.

I am so very sorry. The pain of losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a parent. It sounds like Ann loved you as much as you loved her. I know your heart must be crushed. I’m just so sorry.
