He never smoked, never took alcohol, engaged in gym sessions religiously. Never engaged in vices. That I know for sure.

His Name was Eddy.


Honesty is a really important virtue...

If we had known it was pancreatic cancer, then we would have given a different variety of advice to him before he left us.

Anyway, he was not obliged to tell it like it was. I hope his soul is peaceful now.


IMHO and after reading wendz explaination, F&F was not after advice but to pass on a message which he felt (IHHO)that we needed to know...he knew he was going Sad

I also do agree that we need to support him..(afterall we had volunteered to eat mbuzi with him and share in whatever he wanted us to share - the importance of taking care of our lives)

May he RIP.

I think it doesn't really matter. What he wanted us to know is that life is very short and we should not waste it away. I like the way he brought out the youth in him.

I like your view Jacy.

If you read the thread well, notice that he had agreed to come to the Mbuzi and share his new found inspirational talk. We don't know if that is when he would have revealed all. He passed on before he could do so.

If he had told the exact story at the beginning of what he was going through, his identity here would have been compromised.

I still think the guy was intelligent, compassionate and fair to us. He did not seek your sympathy for selfish gains.

Empathy for society comes in many forms. Wangari did it with trees, eddy did it here. Why would someone confuse Allegory with a lie? Or tell a story but say it is happening to a friend?

@sure and jacy... thank you very much.

Now is not the time to say we are confused, that way we shall loose focus. let us strive to digest F&F's message for the better of us who are still in this worldly life.

meanwhile that option 1 proposed by @wendz, me think is the best. by assisting his children, he shall be living with us in our humble actions.

RIP F&F - I have been reminded by an SKerian that I had indeed met F&F (Mbuzi at the Hutch)...sad.

I was almost convinced he was another person i know in real life.
He has recently died of Liver cancer, has a wife and two children.
But like Jacy26 said, F&F passed a message..Life is short, Live it well.

@Wendz, the number given is for funeral expenses or for children's fund too?
....above all, to stand.

That's our wazuan number for any contributions we may have. it is for what we decide to do. majority seem to favor the children's fund.
