40 Days Without Mamajee…

#DearMamajee,

It’s been 40 days since you left us, and those 40 days have been the most difficult for our family. I’ve been struggling to put my thoughts into words since you were gone. Yes, I finally lost it. Who would have thought that I, Omar Mukhtar, would meet a day when I couldn’t write? You took half of me away with you. I miss you, Mamajee. My sadness is beyond expression, though you may not see it. There’s no denying that I’m missing you so much. Like Fatimah, I wish I could talk to you again, just so I could hear your voice once again, even just for one minute. All I can do now, though, is pray that we are all reunited again in Jannah.

Mamajee, remember this day exactly one year ago – 28th June 2018? You were here with me to witness my dream of becoming a KES boy come true. It was my admission ceremony. I can still remember that proud look on your face. I’m glad that you were there to witness one of the most important days of my life. I’m glad that you were part of that memory. But I wish that you were still here to witness my achievements. I hope you are watching from above.

Mamajee, I promise that you will never be forgotten. I promise that you will always be part of us. I promise that I will keep on reminding Fatimah and Ali of how big your love was for all of us. Know that I’ll always love you, in this world and the next…

Your first nephew,

Omar Mukhtar
