How were two lovers introduced at a soldier’s funeral?
“As the Father said, he wanted to introduce Kibor’s friends,” he said, but later corrected himself and said he wanted to introduce his two girlfriendse.
“Please move forward,” he said while some of the mourners laughed and others looked in surprise.
However, the two women were reluctant to respond to the call, which made the woman stress them more.
“Please. You can even stand where you are. I know it is difficult for you,” he said.
The camera then pans to show the women sitting near the front, conferring briefly.
Finally they gathered courage, got up and headed forward. Kibiwott’s sister helped one of them up on stage before speaking to them.
“I know it is a difficult time especially for Kibiwott’s friends, but as a family, we will stand with you. We also say thank you for taking care of our brother, for loving him and for helping him.”
The woman welcomed the two women and told them to feel at home.
“On behalf of the mother, we would like to welcome you,” he told them.
One of them took the microphone to offer his condolences to the soldier.
“My heart is heavy when I talk about my best friend; it’s a pain you can’t explain. He was my place of safety and my strength when life was heavy,” he said.

@MakenaMwita_: “Kibiwott was a hero. May he rest in peace.”
