Dear Assistant Coach my book and coffee buddy, August 2015 is when we started talking, you know texting on Facebook counts as talking, if I was in a WhatsApp conversation with anyone,I could in passing say,’oh we were talking just yesterday ‘ . You asked why I had denounced the Roland name and why I was smitten with the Itiyopian Abebas ahem ahem.We met at Endiro, you ordered for a latte with emphasis on the low fat milk while frothing Then I met the team later, wonderful crew. I think we arranged for a meet up at Faze II Restaurant with Brian who has since dropped the name, to Matayo who has refused to cut weight, Do you know that Kakwenza in his latest book writes about him. You should read what he says about Matayo, you will ‘die’.
The Team, I got the concept of the Coach after reading the Francis Fukuyama book which you got me to read and after reading the sign off words, I figured it out. A great friend introduces you to the family and they become part of you. Friends are the relatives that we make so I can safely say that they are part of me in fact on one of the visits,Joshua asked if I had attended your wedding ,I wasn’t surprised that he asked so. In 2020, the team had me in their mind on my birthday and had gotten a cake baked for me with the words, ‘The Best is Yet to come’,that was the kindest gesture, the fact that the team had prior arrangement is testament to the love I have from the team and I don’t take that for granted.
My best event last year was Kirsten’s birthday and my heart was truly full.
The last time you came with Coach, somehow I had been looking forward to Kirsten but was equally overjoyed that you had thought about me.
Kirsten’s note; This writing really got us emotional, the wishes, the concentration but most importantly, the love. No wonder I had to frame it and put it where I can see it daily and I show it to whoever comes around
Clare,I thank heavens that we met, and you have been a worthy friend and I celebrate you because it’s your day. Happy birthday Assistant Coach , this whole note can be summarized as the song, Good Friends and a glass of wine by LeeAnn Rimes may Life be kind to you. Regards, Mwene
