I was away in Thailand for studies from January 07-March 07. This was part of my bigger picture for my vision for Outward Bound Rwanda.
In August of 2006, I had been called from Rwanda to go to Kenya to attend to my dad who had then been brought from Tanzania, sick. Examination at the hospital indicated that he was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis which had been neglected for long, and he was virtually dysfunctional side, with excruciating pain.
I took him to th ehospitai n Eldoret, and spent a couple of days with him. During this time, he was able to see everyone in the family- children, grand-children, and inlaws.
I went back to Rwanda for my work. After 2 months of homecare at my sisters place, he was alright, and left for his home in Tanzania.
I left Rwanda January for Thailand. It is there in February that I recieved a call from my sister that the old man dropped off the perch.
I am happy because I did all I could when he was a live. Ihad not however fulfilled one promise, taking him back to Rwanda.
Rest in peace Daddy
