Saying goodbye is never easy; it leaves a gap that you will never forget. Saying bye to the feelings and emotions you had toward people and that you will never feel the same. We lack the right words to explain this situation; they don’t come out exactly how we feel. We grieve from within but still have to be strong. Strong for the rest, pushing and realizing the vision left behind. “That is what he would have wanted.”
You left a mark—a mark that will never be replaced. We will remember your smile and the great laughs we had. Hakuna Shida, Iko Sawa, Tupige Dau, Mbele Iko Sawa, Arsenal 😅😅…we will celebrate the win together, we will boo the great Man United. Political champ, I wish you were here to see how the system has changed; your favorite dean is now in power. Your assessors still exist, you are still remembered, a future rising star, they would say, you mastered the art and everything it entailed.
How did we meet Shaddy?
Who doesn’t love Events? Event pictures spice up the moment. This one was special. We had a featured photographer, as a result of a referral from one of our friends. It was a job well done, He exceeded his expectations. We were impressed, by the turn of events followed by several meet-ups, and the short-term contract it became. Day by day, he proved to be more resourceful and trusted with even our most spacious clients. One of our best moments was February 2023, when we traveled together across all seven constituencies in Kilifi and a bit of Kwale not forgetting Voi, our great retreat. The selfies we took are still in our galleries, and the few moments you let us be the photographer “Moja Ya kushtua Maadui“. We had our best moments, and as always, we graced our best moments and joked about our worst.
