"What I would kindly ask, is that you pray for me, so that I can overcome, sababu si rahisi. Now, when I go online, I know that I will be seeing him. I used to talk to him all day. Now I will be seeing him and thinking that I will come to call him in the evening and have a conversation with him. Naomba mniombee ili niweze kupoa roho yangu kwa sababu si rahisi," she added emotionally.
