How the Kenya we knew and loved lives in our memories
IT DOES not come as a surprise that all around the world there are lots of Facebook pages celebrating our past lives in Kenya, especially the people but more importantly the places and the events that fashioned our lives. What feeds our memories in large doses are the unforgettable places we visited as children and as adults. These memories warm our hearts and soothe the yearning for those old times. When we see a long-lost photo, of ourselves with our cherished friends, of a place or event that speaks louder than words in our hearts and minds it feeds the longing for a long lost past.Appreciate it if you would share your thoughts!
