King Kaka’s wife Nana Owiti has paid tribute to her late mother in an emotional post.
The renown media personality revealed that her mother, who seemingly was a police officer judging from the photos she shared, passed away in 2017 at the age of 37 years.
“As a child, one of my biggest fears was losing my mother. This fear intensified when I began living with her. I would creep into her room in the middle of the night slowly and quietly open her bedroom door and hold my breath as I watched to see if she was still breathing. I would only breathe a sigh of relief when I saw her ribcage moving up and down then gently close the door.”
“On a day like this in 2007, I glared right into the blaring reality. My worst fear came to be,” she wrote on social media.
At the time, Nana was just a teenager and the death left her devastated.
“Dreams shattered. Aspirations crushed. Expectations unmet. Plans thwarted. Goals ruined. Seventeen years later, I’m still unsure how I’ve managed to get here but God has been merciful and gracious,” she said.
Nana added that she misses her late mother and even needs her guidance more as she grows older.
“But grief is like the ocean—sometimes calm ☺️ and sometimes overwhelming😩. All we can do is learn to swim 🏊♀️. So here’s to keeping my head above water. Here’s to wishing you a peaceful rest mama. I will be playing Candle in the wind a lot more today to playing Bosco Mulwa, here’s to playing Michael Bolton the most because those memories mean everything to me. I will cry a little more today..grief is the price we pay for love,right?” she said.
“I will look at your pictures more and notice details I didn’t the last time.. ”
