Hata!! Si hivyo ndugu yangu @Vin. Sina uhusiano wowote na Bibi huyu. Si wa damu wala wa kimapenzi na sina nia yoyote ila kujaribu kuangalia swala hili kutoka upande mwingine.
She does not look like the type to shout from the rooftops like the Kirima children. I wonder how many people have dealt with old people as they drift into senility. It is not an often talked about issue but it can be very traumatic for close family members.
Someone you once knew and respected starts to lose their mind and they drift in and out of moments of lucid clear thinking that you have come to know and moments of total idiocy or childlike behaviour that totally throws you off. You get confused as you try to adjust yourself to treating them alternately as adults and as children. It is not a disease that can be cured like the Kirima children would want us to believe. There is no medical treatment. Wazungus, being who they are will of course give fancy names to these conditions like dementia, Alzheimers etc and there are billions worth of medications and specialists who claim to treat them. Simple people just know it as kuzeeka and there is no better care than an understanding, loving family to take care of someone during these days. If I was in such a condition I would rather have my wife of 43 years with me than my own grown up children who I raised, who moved away and now have their own families to look after.
