“I met Marie on January 5, 2005, at 3.00 pm. She was the most beautiful child I have ever seen. I gave birth to her when I was still in my teens. I remember she used to cry, and I would also cry. The father would ask, ‘Sasa mkilie nyinyi wote wawili nitabombeleza nani?’” Gloria stated.
Struggling with the loss, Moraa shared her pain and the deep bond she had with her daughter.
“I don’t know how to release my child. My heart is broken. We had very, very beautiful memories. I don’t know how I am going to release my child,” she added.
She also recalled a difficult period in her life when Marie offered comfort and support.
“There was a time in my life I had gone through so much, and she would find me in the bedroom and tell me, ‘Mum, haukuangi mtu mbaya. Watu tu wako na wewe ndio watu wabaya.’ Marie was a good child.”
