Kiboro Primary School

Tears flow down my eyes every moment I  look  at my mum, her body that is small gives me fear day and night as I remember seeing her sleeping on the bed at the Kenyatta National Hospital.  I was young and I was confused at the hospital as I tried looking for mum.  She was in a room but I did not know which one .  my love for her kept me going from room to room.

I got some help from some nurse and I was able to meet her.  I was very happy to see her alive but with pipes ,she could not eat and because I was hungry I ate some fruits that were there for her. She could not talk but looked at me as tear went down her face.

My younger brother was there confused he knew nothing about sickness and so he jumped to the bed and I was forced to share the fruits with him to make him relax .

I never went back to see her again as it was very sad for me and after three weeks she was at home again , we were very happy again and she is good now. We love her a lot.
