For twelve years, Irungu Goko and his former partner, Damaris, shared something far greater than a past relationship — they shared the love and responsibility of raising their child. Even though their romantic relationship ended more than a decade ago, they remained close friends and dedicated co-parents, proving that love for a child can overcome any personal differences.
Their story inspired many who knew them. Friends often admired how they managed to raise their child in peace and unity, always putting their little one’s happiness first. They attended school meetings together, celebrated birthdays as a team, and made sure their child never felt the pain of a broken home.
Sadly, that beautiful story took a heartbreaking turn when Damaris passed away recently. The news of her death hit Irungu deeply, leaving him devastated. Those close to him say he has been struggling to come to terms with the loss of someone who, even though no longer his partner, remained one of the most important people in his life.
Irungu took to social media to express his grief, describing Damaris as a kind, strong, and selfless woman. He thanked her for being a wonderful mother and for the years they worked together to raise their child with love and understanding.
Many friends and followers flooded his Facebook page with comforting messages. They praised the two for setting a powerful example of mature co-parenting and wished Irungu and his child strength during this difficult time.
The loss of Damaris is not only painful for Irungu but also for their child, who must now adjust to life without a loving mother. Yet, those who know Irungu believe he will continue to honor Damaris’s memory by being the best parent he can be.
Their story reminds everyone that love can take many forms — and even when relationships end, compassion, respect, and family remain forever.
