Default Kenyans in Bama, Superb Job on what you did. Just FANTASTIC!!!!    Show Printable Version  Print   Email this Page  Email  

About six months ago, my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was the nicest person you can ever meet. Her smile was so stunning that if you just see her, you can't help it but smile. In 2001, she moved to USA with her two children to be with her husband who was attending a religous school.

She was a very spiritual lady, one with a golden heart. One of those rare ones, I can't even explain. To me, she was like my mother. Because me and my mom aren't that tight, she became my 'cool' mom. Always there for me no matter what, she would tell me right from wrong, she cared that much. We would go shopping, stay out all day and she would just mold me.
Even when i had guy problems, usually i like my life private but with her, it was so easy to talk about.

Late last year, she noticed a swell on her breast. When she went to the doctor, they said it was nothing. Few days later, they call and they say she's diagnosed with cancer. She scheduled to have her breast taken out. It was taken out and i thought everything was going to be okay. That didn't go as we had planned. She started doing chemo, and day in day out, she looked like she was getting stronger. It was really difficult for me to see her like that, it was just so hard to see someone I loved so much be in such pain. I wished i could carry the pain for her but of course am just a human being...all i was able to do is pray for her. She stayed at home, went for chemo every now and then came back and i would go see her.

She fought the fight but in the end, i guess God really needed her somewhere else. I believe there is another world, the reason God takes the really good seeds is because there is another world, maybe a world that need strong fighters like her. When Jesus died for three days, the bible says that in one of those days he was dead, he was witnessing to the ones who had not heard of his word. Maybe that is where she went to, i would like to believe.
It was really hard to accept, i don't think have even accepted now but what brought up my spirit up high that am here 2:21 AM in the morning is what the kenyans in Alabama did. Let me tell you guys, if there was anything like kenyans being one, today is the day i saw that. Her memorial service was held today, i think all kenyans in bama showed up. Literally thousandths (no exageration) thousandths showed up. young, old, youth, in betweens all of came. We were so packed that some people 'accidentally' packed in someone's property. They called the police, but that didn't stop them, they went to go park at a publix nearby and walked to the venue. The aim was to raise 20,000 for the family and it exceeded that by far. Jennifer, you were loved by so many, today i know you were looking down on us, smiling on what each has contributed. You have worked so hard, you left no heart hardened, you became an inspiration by being yourself, you became an advisor to the yong women who were steal seeking God, you became a marriage counselor to the young women getting ready to marry, you became a mother to two beautiful kids who loved you so much and above all, you became a good wife to your husband.
Even when you were sitting down on your little chair with so much pain arging all over your body, it was even hard for you to turn your neck, you went through it with a smile on your face. When you had visitors, you slowly walked down those steps with much pain and came to greet them. I don't know how many would handle it if they were in a situation like that, you handled it in a Godly manner. You never asked why this is happening to me, you never questioned God, I don't know why he took you away from me and all those who need you but i know you have finished your race well. You lived your life in a way i can't even understand.

Jennifer I love you and again we will meet soon.
You were to cut my wedding cake for me, now i don't know who will do it but whoever will do it, they can never do it they way you would have done it.

I love you again.

My condolences for you, and your family Jamela.
One of my two nanas is currently battling breast cancer and it just touches me to hear this storo, i cant say i understand coz i dont, all i can say is that am trully sorry for your lose.






Lets all stand up against cancer and give it a boot or a stilletto, whatever hurts the most.

I should feel for you Jamela, but surprisingly I dont.

Karma strikes back!

You were one of those internet hoodlums who were advocating for extermination of the people who 'stole your election victory'. Maybe its a way God is showing you who is boss. Who determines who to exterminate. Including your so called aunt. (I doubt she was your aunt, anyway).
