THE BIG SLEEP

Dorothy, Boyo and I with a mutual friend and journo-Erik

Hello lovelies! I hope you have all been keeping well and eating healthy...

I woke up on Saturday with a little it of an "off" energy... My right eye was in some sort of pain that led me to fear for the worst- an eye infection and I wasn't just feeling motivated. Somehow my center point was not where it was supposed to be. I guess I have been reading too much on supernatural powers.

Anyway, about mid day I logged on to Facebook and saw the worst news I could ever see on a friend I once shared a nice long bottle of wine at the coast with. With wine comes feelings and a lot of chit chat- so we bonded at that one night after dinner and chatted away on life's issues. A few years later she would move to Nairobi and fast track it to mid-last year when she found out that she had cancer. Being a therapeutic writer myself I got hooked on to her blog. So this Saturday when I saw the very sickening painful condolence messages on her page, it took me a couple of hours for it to sink in that she had actually succumbed to cancer. It sucked and I was torn. It is seeing young energetic people who are full of life push out daisies that gets me torn.

Lilian's Blog : With A Smile, My Journey Through The Desert

Out of the blue one of my girls Dorothy called me up and convinced me to go out and despite my whining about how my hair had shrunk and it was still wet, I managed to gather some psyche to leave the house and join her. On an empty stomach and a few glasses of wine, the opposite of what usually happens to me happened. I got in to a jolly appreciative mood but Dorothy was quick to note whenever I got a bit teary and she helped me keep it together.

I bid Lillian a hearty farewell. Until we meet again if we ever do... Rest in eternal peace.

Sincerely,

Nekoye
