Perhaps sharing this will help us mourn/remember our brother/son/uncle/father Adrian:
- As a young child i always held the faith that when my mother went out she will RETURN.
- When she took me to school she came for me so i could RETURN.
- Soon i went to school alone but i always RETURNED.
- I even left the village but always RETURNED.
- I left my country of birth but i always knew/hoped i would RETURN.
- In the US whenever i left my family ALONE they knew one thing , I will RETURN.
- Whenever i was late my family knew one thing I was to RETURN. But on July 12TH 2012 Adrian did not RETURN! So Adrian would say this on the day he did not RETURN.
- My mother , brother , sister in law , co-workers , my family, my neighbors have faith/strength/peace because a day has come that i will not RETURN.
- And on the day that i did not RETURN i want you to know that it is not because i was late, held up in traffic , wasting time NO!
- On the day i did not RETURN i was doing GOOD.I was helping! I chose not to sit and look - i chose to act, i said send me to help a person i did not know. - But for that i did not RETURN.
- And so if this be my last act just a like a computer hung on the last page MY PAGE ETERNAL WILL NOW FOREVER BE ON THIS ACT- DOING GOOD-HOW BLESSED , HOW FULFILLING.
- And so my friends on the day i will not RETURN do not cry/be sad for i ask of you all - on the day you will not RETURN
- what will you have been doing? Strive/choose to do good as i have done for if that be the reason i will not RETURN i am COOL with that.
- And even if i know ADRIAN will not RETURN soon take our greetings and well wishes to our parents gone, to my brothers gone and recently to my dear sister gone for you go where GOOD RESIDES- YOU WILL/HAVE RECEIVED HONORS reserved only for the fewest who choose others and not self- EVEN IF ADRIAN YOU DID NOT RETURN ON THAT FATEFUL DAY.
- And now that it seems this journey/road is one WAY STREET EVEN IF YOU DO NOT RETURN we only have that street to follow when that day comes- YES WHEN WE SHALL NOT RETURN.
Take heart Njoroge , Tata(untie) whose heart is so broken. In GOD we will have strength and the will to endure.
