This is Tanya, a PhD student in Spain but married in Chile; she specifically came to bury her father. When she met the Chilean, she brought him to her father. This is Brian, the baby of the family, a fifth-year student at the University of Nairobi,” she revealed.
Most people who watched the video were impressed and even recalled their own mothers who helped relatives go from one step to another. “That’s how we were raised. Kids in the family are kids of the able parent. Mrs George needs to take a lot of credit. Where the wife refuses it becomes a headache. God bless the family,” said Hez Mulinge.
