It is six years now since the beautiful songstress, Kambua lost her loving father , Professor Manundu.
Ever since professor Manundu died, Kambua gets pretty emotional every year on his anniversary given that they were really close.
This year, Kambua who recently gave birth to her baby boy, Nate, remembered her dad in a very special way.
The singer who defined grief as an 'unfamiliar, uncharted waters' says her greatest grief has been the fact that her loving dad never got to meet her beautiful baby boy.
She has grieved her fading memories of her times together with her dad, but if there are things she would never forget about him are;
The sound of his booming laugh, sparkle in his eyes and the warmth of his hands.
Read her emotional post below;
6 years ago today, my Father went to be with the Lord. It has taken me years to heal and fully come to terms with the loss. Grief is like unfamiliar, uncharted waters than no one can fully prepare you for. Grief is multilayered; just when you think it's over, it reveals itself in a new light.
I have grieved the fact that he never got to meet my beautiful baby boy. I've grieved my fading memory, guilted myself for forgetting things I should remember about dad.
But I will never forget the sound of his booming laugh, nor the sparkle in his eyes, or the warmth of his hands... just as I will never forget how cold they were before he breathed his last

It has taken me many years to accept and understand that both grief and my hope in Christ can indeed co-exist. And this hope in no way nullifies the pain- it gives it purpose

God writes our stories, and in Him nothing is lost. Our present pain and suffering is nothing compared to the glory that will be revealed in us.
I am grateful that my father's legacy points to Jesus. Keep resting in glory my Papa. 09/04/2014. 💛
