Only the most unrefined of beasts would pose such a question.
Dearest, grief has no time limit, no deadline, no schedule. As is, the entire nation is traumatized, my people don’t speak much; then again, what is there to say, really? I often think about how things were before I was born, before the killers came; were the aunties less gossipy? The uncles less drunk? Was imvumbi rya Kicukiro less aggressive?
It is difficult for me to linger in sadness, such an uncomfortable, unnatural feeling. I’d rather hurry up and heal, so much on my To Do List. I wish to see the world, I wish to make love, I wish to bear children. But this Kwibuka Season, I have decided to face all my demons because I know what an unhealed heart becomes: bitter, angry, hateful, divisive.

Submitting ourselves to the will of God and savoring life on the daily. A toast to longer baths, longer naps, truer loves, purer hearts. One more thing Eternal God, deepen our pockets, kabisa, we have suffered enough!
With Enduring Love,
