MY JOURNEY WITH MY DEAF SISTER.

 I was a bit hesitant to write about this but went ahead anyway. It is not like it has ever been a big secret, but every time I have talked about it I have earned pity, shame and endless questions.

     Allow me to introduce you to my younger sister Wendy Gakii Muriuki.The year 2004 was when this beautiful girl was brought to the world. At first we didn't notice that she was deaf until she is two years old.

After my parents realized this, they knocked every specialist door, talked to doctors, but all was in vain. To some of our neighbors, It was a "curse " as they termed it.

I would not deny it, the world of disability is a lonely one, filled with tears ,pain and dashed hopes and many were the times I would ask myself how different life would be if she could hear.

It is to my parents that I am forever grateful. For staying with her, nurturing her and sacrificing so much for her.Its hard to use sign language while you've never attended any sign language classes but its a whole experience too and my parents have done it without complaining or tiring.

You know bec...

As at now am under my supervisor's instruction .I hope you will bear with my situation and continue supporting me through your views,comments and sharing too.              BURNING TALES OF LOVE Their is no better place of being in a relationship like university.Relationships there are sweet,fun and exciting.You see those couple goals like matching outfits,attending classes together and going for photo shoots and literally having no one to restrict you on when to see your partner.It is in campuses where most people tend to get their future partners.Their is different kind of fuss about relationships in campus plus the peer pressure too.To be not dating in campus one would be missing  lot.                            ...
