Diana has opened up about how helpless she felt when her mum passed away just minutes after the two talked on the phone.
This started after Diana’s parents separated prompting the kids to be left with their dad.
Speaking on her Youtube channel, the mother of two shared, “Out of the blues, my mum got sick.
She would look different every time I saw her. shortly before she passed dad had gone to Kisumu.
My mum called me which was unlike her. We talked and I promised to call her once I got home.”
Diana says once she got home her mum called, “She told me she couldn’t do it anymore, she told me she loved me. Then the phone dropped. I took my bag and went to Kitengela where my mum lived. I got there at 7:30 and found my grandmother.”
The mother of two came to learn that her mum had been battling diabetes for years.
Diana and her sisters Val and Michelle had not had a good relationship with their mum after she left them with their dad.
This was after the union between the couple broke.
Diana added, “We used to call our mum so she could come to pick us up she never did, she just kept saying ‘atakuja.’ One day dad had beaten my sister Val so badly that she couldn’t leave the bed.
Her body was swollen. That is the day my mum came back. I heard the door being knocked and upon opening, I saw it was her.”
Diana says having been disappointed by her mum many times before she was not as excited to see her.
“I think she saw hurt through my eyes. When I opened the door I was like ‘ooh so it’s you?’ In my head, I was like ‘I have a sick sister to take care of. That is when my mum saw our suffering. I used to ask her why she left yet she expected us to survive alone in that environment. How did she expect me to cook for my sisters, take care of my dad, and still perform in school.”

The sisters thought things were about to change after their mum took them away from the toxic environment.
But their happiness was cut short after they were returned to their dad.
“She called my dad and warned my dad to never beat us up again. Our mum told us to pack and left with us.
3 days later my mum took us to our grandmother’s place.
My grandmother was against my mum taking us in yet she couldn’t take care of us. We were taken back to our dad. My dad was like ‘mlidhani hamtarudi?
Diana Marua’s sister Michelle added, “We used to call her and she would say ‘I am coming, we would wait to look at the gate waiting for her to no avail.
Sometimes we would even wait until midnight. I just wish she said she wouldn’t come.”
According to Michelle, she felt her mother coming back would mend the broken relationship they had.
Sadly that was cut short by her demise
“There is a day we went to visit Diana in school and we met our mother there. It hurt my feelings because I felt like she was prioritizing Diana more than I. In class 8 is when I started reconnecting with our mum, she would send us some little money. We had started forming a bond.”
Adding, “I joined Form 1 and 1 month later I thought my mum would come to see me during my visiting day.
A couple of weeks later, I was excited my mum would come to see me for the first time, she passed away.
Dad couldn’t tell me that mum had died.”
In conclusion, Diana said, “Sometimes my mum would bring us new clothes and my dad would tear them up.
I have learned that people keep hurt in their hearts. But we have an option of choosing how to bring up our family.”
