Thank you for sharing this powerful story with us. Could you tell us about what inspired you to write it? My story is a true story and not from the imagination. I have written this story about the death of my father, and how my family went from a bad life to a good life. You must understand how life can change and you must work hard in life because life is like a circle.

Life was good in our village of Kamituga in the district of Mwenga, DRC. I lived there with both of my parents, my three sisters, and my brother. I was the firstborn. Mugoli, my sister, was next, then Bife, my other sister, and last came my brother, John. My parents enjoyed catering to my siblings and I, and showing us care and love. Life was not hard. We had our own house, clothes, and a bicycle.
