Relationships........

I don't only write about relationships. I love writing relationship issues because apart from being in tune with God, and achieving our goals, relationships stare at us in the face wherever we find ourselves.

It's easy blaming the other person all the time when we have not found time to think about how we treat them. One thing we have to bear in mind is to learn how to treat other people and how we would want to be treated if we were in their shoes.

Next time you think your friend, sibling, parent or partner is nagging- do me this favour- they only talk about those issues ,because you refused to work on those "things "you promised you would change.

When you are silent, they say you are indifferent to the relationship, and when you want to discuss your issues, they say you nag too much.

Relationships are hard work, this is something no one would ever teach you. Experience it and you will realise how different we all are. What matters to me wouldn't necessaily matter to you, but if it does i will change to meet you half way through, if it matters to me please changeto meet me half way through.

Life is Toooo Short!!!

Hmmm ok we all thought it was a stupid prank someone was playing on the 1st of April, 2010. I called your phone and it was off, then i tried again, it rang but there was no answer.
I got to the office and heard the news and went numb. You were a friend to me, we laughed, we teased each other and just talked about everything and nothing.

Sometimes people we care about are taken away too quickly from us. Maybe I should have called you when I intended to, but I guess it wouldn't have made any difference. God knows best and He understands the deep things in life.

I pray for strength for your family, your wife and daughter. It feels so surreal but we will live through it. Rest in peace my dear friend, I will miss the Swahili lessons, the karaoke lessons which never came on and the fact that I knew that you were always there.

I will find solace in the fact that you were an achiever. God be with you till we meet again.
