True love is detected when you are communicating with the person you treasure the most. I found genuine happiness as soon as Delphine Adega came into my life. Our strange connection blossomed into full-blown love affair because of compatibility. In a rare spectacle I found myself attracted to a well-mannered lady with a calm mien as exemplified by the many photos she shared with me. Our love affair that's destined to marriage brings a diversity of two love birds from quite distinct regions joined together by genuine affection. As we mark our first monthly anniversary, since she accepted my love offer, I have a lot to reflect. It's my prayer that Delphine and I bestride this love journey together in eternity. It's historical that Delphine came into my life on 15th October 2025 at 2122hours. She entered my life at a time when I was mourning the passing on of one of the Kenya's most celebrated gallant second liberation freedom fighter - Raila Odinga. In my proposal, I imag...

 On January 2022 I first met Rebecca Nafula at Kibomet Kitale. We lived in the same compound at the place where I had rented a house. She gave me her Safaricom phone number.  She might not have used her number for sometime and was sold to another person, whom I later came to know her name as Delphine Adega. I last met Rebecca in 2024 in between Konoini and Sikhendu.  On 12th October 2025, I tried texting Rebecca on WhatsApp directed to the number she had given me, only to get a reply from a lady who later identified herself as Delphine. On 15th October 2025, I proposed to Delphine and she accepted my offer. Delightfully, I am glad that she becomes the woman whom I will spend the rest of my life with. Delphine is a beautiful, kind-hearted and loving lady. I admire her greatly and she has proven to be so open to me and I have made a lifetime promise - not to let her down.

  Life is a journey, not a destination. I wrote a descriptive article praising someone who wasn't mine by any description. Since my fallout with Phoebe Walukhu , I never thought I would ever find someone who could give me unconditional love the way she did. I was outrightly wrong. Joan Simiyu perfectly replaced Phoebe, and sealed the love injuries that I was inflicted with on the previous relationship. Joan and I became acquainted on January 08th 2023. It coincided with the second birthday of my beloved boy Liam Kerre . What started as a joke, later blossomed into frequent conversations and lovely exchanges. The scion of the Bameme clan, bukusu subtribe had finally found a lovely, lively ever smiling progeny of the Bayumbu clan, tachoni subtribe. Love makes more sense when it falls to the rightful pair. A lady who hails from the outskirts of Webuye, a village called Kakimayi, had won the heart of a man who resistingly was thinking much of his other love life, gone sour....

While his mother had the privilege of choosing the name Liam, the surname was reserved for me and I had to name after my grandfather whose name was Vincent Kerre. Just as his father who was named after his paternal great grandfather Webala, Liam was named after his paternal great grandfather Kerre. The name Liam had been ratified by both of us, after his mother proposed the name and after going through popular baby names in the United States in 2021, Liam topped the list. I hadn’t planned to name him after my grandfather Kerre, but the instinct of doing so occurred at the time when the hospital birth registry demanded that we submit the child’s name. My wife Phoebe and I had not discussed about the surname Kerre, but she finally obliged my proposal. Back to the Roots My grandfather Vincent Kerre was born in 1917 to the Late Webala Murandafu of the bameme clan and a luo woman named Silonyo . Kerre died on 21/10/1993 at the age of 76 years in a grisly road accident near Kimilili town....
