It’s tragedies like the ones we’ve experienced this weekend (Mulo and Nduey) that remind you just how fickle life is. Seeing the dawn of a new day is honestly one of the most underrated blessings.

I’m extremely heartbroken about Mulo . I mean EXTREMELY heartbroken. Nobody deserves to be taken out by cancer but MULO DID NOT DESERVE THIS ! He dedicated his life to his career , wife , family and friends . Yoh I’m gonna miss the phone calls and the pure conversations . 💔
