Nominated Senator, Hon Isaac Mwaura, is celebrating his 37th birthday. His wife, Mukami Mwaura, has penned down a heartwarming message to mark his big day.
Through her Instagram account, she wrote; “Happy birthday to the most inspiring, gracious, and downright wonderful husband a person could ever ask for. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and for us.” “When you feel like Dancing …. You dnt have to dance alone …. I chose you !” she added.
Mwaura also tweeted thanking his wife for celebrating with him.
He said; “Thanks a lot to each one of you dear friends for taking time wish me wonderful birthday wishes. Through this, we were able to share together. I take note that some of you wondered about me being 37. My wife Mukami R. Mwaura and our little son Njiru took time 2 celebrate with me.”
The couple has stood by each other no matter what challenges they meet.
After welcoming their triplets, two of them died. They have however remained strong raising their one son.
Explaining how they ended up together, during a previous interview, Mwaura said; “I had planned that after university, I would marry my secondary school girlfriend – who was also living with albinism, but that was never to be.
In university, I shortly dated someone else. But later, when I was a senior adviser to then Prime Minister Raila Odinga, a mutual friend introduced me to Mukami.
He had bragged to her that he “knew people”, even producing evidence in the form a 2012 newspaper article in which I had been featured to bring the point home.
We later connected through Facebook. We stalked each other, exchanged messages and tagged posts in the social media platform for some time.
I left for my Masters at the University of Leeds, UK soon after, having not met since the introduction. I remember thinking of coming back to Kenya many times during our online chats.
So when I got back home, the first thing I did was meet her – she was in a yellow shirt, skirt and wore her hair short. Once, when I got sick and admitted to the hospital, she took very good care of me.
From that time, I knew that she was a lady worthy fighting for. On recovering, she gifted me a Maasai rungu – a sign of leadership. From that moment, I told her that she was mine. I told her that she had gotten away from me, but she was now coming back to the right man.”
