A month ago today my life changed completely. I lost my youngest sister. She bravely lost her battle to epilepsy. Yes bravely, I said. She lived with it for nineteen years, seizures that only happened at night. Never had death hit so close to home, and the fact that I was there when she was confirmed gone doesn’t help. I felt like I didn’t shake her hard enough or call out her name out loud. All of a sudden, my sister had gone. I remember wanting to shout at the morgue people to not suffocate her with the plastic when taking her body away. I will never forget how helpless I felt when seeing my dad broken, for not realizing on time that her last born was no more.

Later in the day, Comrades committee announced the date for for 2020. And the date is 14.06.2020. The day my sister was classified as deceased. I made a decision there and there that I will participate, no scrap that I will complete #Comrades2020 in her honor. 💜.
