Reminisces......

Sometimes sombre moments make of great times for thought..
I buried ma grand father on Saturday, 16th Jan. 2010..
It's hard to imagine life without him..
But one thing that's for certain...
Life must go on..
Watching the mound...fresh...
Tears roll down my face...for it's an error that we
have lost!
A self less man...who managed to hide his whole family
from the philandering ways of General Iddi Amin..
Grew a family from very humble beginnings..
To give them education and above all an ethos
to live by..
The best memory I could give him...
Is to give back to the society...
It's the memories that are painful..
It's the thought that wrenches the heart..
It's the heart that keeps the fire burning..
The umbilicus..still hangs from my ancestors...
Am of the 'Puny' clan....
I Jaramogi...
Till death comes my way....
Till I join my ancestors....
In body..
In spirit..
I'll keep your memory alive....
The Reminisces...
