Caleb Uwagaba’s message
My Dear Mucyo, I wonder, Darkness doesn’t come in the absence of light? Darkness does not allow us to see our direction? Mucyo, you might have not forgot that we promised each other to have our children together-Ineza Mucyo Gaella and Gabiro Mucyo Gael. Your aspiration was that our children might be born with the similar face of mine but with discipline like you. You have gone, where will they come from? Do you remember that we have planned to thank God on Wednesday during mothers’ prayers at church? Honey, is it possible that we will not sing anymore together before we sleep? You said good bye to me before but I did not guess and finally it happens. How will I write our book about hundred days of marriage when you are not around? How will I fill its pages in your absence?
Mucyo died from University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK).She got married to Joseph Caleb Uwagaba-one of the most influential and impactful personalities in Rwandan Gospel industry, in March 3 this year.
