My Memories of Aunty ~ Geraldine Namuli Ssali.



Awwwwww what an amazing Aunt she was...

My Dad and Uncle Charles were very close cousins, called each other brothers. So when we were kids these brothers did family trips together, National Parks and all, weekend hangouts  roasting Goats meat and we kids were always in tow.

Aunt Margaret was so beautiful and I just wanted to be around her all the time. We had sleepovers in Kitante and Aunty always had fun stories to tell.

When they moved to Kenya my baby sister Juliana and I would visit and Aunty always took us shopping...
Aunty Bena Namuli Kiwanuka was my darling Godmother and so so close to Aunty Margaret so a visit to the the Kiwanukaz meant seeing and getting bunches of love from Aunty Margaret.

Her beauty and her love I always marvelled at.
The memory of her that is forever etched in my soul was when she and my cousin Peter Kiwanuka were tasked to tell me that my dad had passed away...
She did it with so much calm and love I'll never forget her voice and her exact words....

Of late Aunty was sending me lovely messages on FB messenger quite often, telling me she always thinks of me and she loves me... 
She always called me my beautiful daughter Gerry.....
Aunty thank you for loving me and surely something beautiful remains❤️



RIP 🙏.
