Grace, who goes by the name Mamake Christine on social media, told TUKO.co.ke that she regrets ever searching for the woman who abandoned her 12 years ago.
“I feel so bad. I don’t even know why I decided to look for her,” she said.
When did Nairobi woman launch search for mum?
The heartbroken woman had launched an online search to find Firista Nasila, hoping for a joyful reunion after so many years apart.
She explained that she had always longed for a mother’s love, especially as she grew older, wanting someone to share her struggles and joys with.
Being an only girl, Grace said her relationship with her father was strained, and she often avoided going home to visit him.
Grace also shared that Nasila left following a domestic dispute and never returned.
How did Grace find her mum?
After TUKO.co.ke published her story and appeal to find Nasila, she shared that some of her mother’s relatives reached out to her and her brothers.
“They came looking for us and told us where she was. She had remarried and had other children. I was so happy, we were finally going to have a relationship with her,” she said.
However, Grace was left heartbroken when the woman she had spent years searching for rejected her.
“On Sunday, her sister went to the place where she lives now. She said she has no business with me and my brothers, and that she only cares about her husband and her two boys. That really hurt me,” Grace revealed.
The devastated woman added that they are now completely on their own, as their father also remarried and has children from his new relationship.
“My three brothers and I now have no mum or dad, even though they’re both alive. They don’t care about us anymore,” she said.

Netizens sympathise with Grace
The emotional story sparked an outpouring of sympathy online, with netizens warning against reconnecting with absentee parents and urging Grace to focus on building her life.
Mash Kutzkid:
“Ukisha omoka, atakuja na emotional blackmail, ‘Oh, mimi ni mamaku, ooh, utalaaniwa ukinikana, mara nilikubeba miezi kumi, ooh, hawa wengine pia ni ndugu zako, na sina school fees.’ May thunder fire such deadbeats.”
Fanice Akinyi:
“Rule huwa, don’t ever go looking for deadbeats who’ve never bothered to look for you. Kazana na maisha zenyu and move on, because such parents know they have kids somewhere and could reach out, but never made the effort. So what makes you think they’ll welcome you when you look for them? Deadbeats are deadbeats. Karma is the only thing that deals with them—especially when you and your siblings succeed.”
Min Taraji Pendo:
“Mungu awasaidie muomoke na wasiwahi rudi kuwatafuta tena.”
