A letter to our lovely son Silvans

A letter from uncle, Dickson
Dear Silvans,
When you came into this world 2016, you brought a love into our family
heart that I had never before experienced because of my lovely Bro.  I reveled in joy and celebration.
With time you will become older,
You will have your own personality, your own thoughts
and opinions, and your own sense of humor. You  will have your
own interests, your own talents, and your own way of doing
things.
I celebrate your individuality and uniqueness and am
so honored to be part of your life silvans.
As you continue to grow and become an adult, you will live
your own life.
You will have times of happiness and times of
disappointment.
You will fall in love, and you will have your
heart broken.
 Life has its ups and downs and is not always
fair, but I know your strength and resilience will see you
through.

May you always know your worth and how incredibly precious
you are! As your uncle Dickson Orengo, it is my privilege to impart these
important truths to you.
Be true to yourself always. There is no one else like you, so
allow your uniqueness to shine through. You never need to
change who you are for someone else. You are magnificent
exactly as you are.
Live your own dreams. Figure out what makes you happy and
pursue it. Follow a path of your own choosing - not mine, not
your dad’s  Mrei , Mum Esther  anyone else’s. Your fulfillment is what I want,
and it will come from following your dreams and living a life
that has meaning and purpose for you.
Don’t take life so seriously. Have fun. Laugh at yourself
when you make mistakes.
Don’t worry about things you
cannot control. You get only one life, so enjoy it to the
fullest.
Love and accept yourself unconditionally. You will always
have yourself even when friends come and go, so make it
your best relationship. The way you treat yourself will show
others how to treat you, so treat yourself like you would your
own best friend. Be kind, respectful, and loving to yourself no
matter what.
Don’t be afraid to take risks. Take big, bold risks! You can
accomplish great things by taking risks. Living life too
cautiously and keeping the status quo will leave you with
regrets. Get outside of your comfort zone and watch as that
comfort zone expands. The more risks you take, the easier it
becomes.
Find your soulmate. You will meet someone one day with
whom you fall head over heels in love and want to spend the
rest of your life. Their gender, race, religion, and culture are
irrelevant to me. As long as you are loved, respected, and
treated well, I will always be happy with your choice.
And, last but certainly not least,
Know that I as yor uncle tunakupenda sana even your dad an mum love you and will always be there for you damu ni nzito kuliko maji. No
matter what, I’ve got your back. You are part of our family ORENGO'S and always will be. We adore you, and there is nothing you could possibly
do to change that. There may be times when we don’t
always see eye to eye, but we still love you and always will.
Love,
Your 
Dad Brother
