Show Up. Call

 Do you ever not understand why?

 Why you have to make that call?

 Send that message? 

Show up at that door step? 

One day so long ago, God gave Betty the burden to search for her friend Grace. 

Betty didn't know why she had to hunt her down but she did and found her in an estate she'd never been to. 

She didn't know her friend was fully blown AIDS and was depressed and had not accepted it. Hadn't told anyone and even enstranged herself from her family. 

So one hot day after crisscrossing Nairobi looking for grace,  Betty showed up at Graces doorstep. 

They say the rest is history. 

Here's the What's App message Betty received this morning
