Senga Maggie Nansaba Ssali ~ Harriet N. Musoke


Banange kitalo nyo nyo bakwano ba Senga Maggie
I have lots to say about my auntie naaye allow me to mention a few.

1. I became very close to senga in 1980 when i was 12 years
2. My Dad took me to the UK for my P7 vac and I stayed with auntie 
3. She bought me my first track suit. It was Red and told me 'You liked it very much so you can have it from M and S'
4. S4 vac I returned to London and we did so many things together which I wont mention
5. S6 vac I returned to London
6. After campus in 1993 on my way to the USA, my Dad had only purchased a ticket to the UK, so I told him the it was ok  I would  work and pay for my ticket to the USA .

7. In 1995 I was graduating for my masters in USA  and of course my first guest apart from my parents, was auntie Maggie.
8. In 1995 i introduced my current husband Paul Bukenya Musoke, of the engambi clan to auntie Maggie and she fell in  love with Paul Musoke as her niece was also head over heels in love with Paul.
8. When Paul finally agreed to kwanjula, I had none other than Ssenga Nansamba Ssali to pick as Senga owwe esonga
9. My Dad loved THIS lady UNTILL one day I asked him why and he said when I was kwanering your Mum I picked her up at PROF and Maggie Ssali's home. And since that time, their friendship became tight that even before he made a move with Mum, he would ask her if she had informed Auntie 
10. Auntie loved me. Auntie made me laugh!
She wd send many videos on the meeru chat and then she wd also send them to me
So one day a cousin told me eeh Harriet, how do we deal with auntie tgose bi videos 😂
How do we give feedback? I am like, yiyi dont worry I will call her. She just said "daughter at times I even dont watch what I have sent" and we LOL and moved on
Auntie yampana and always said I am the most beautiful niece she ever recieved mu bana ba  uncle Tanansi and then she would say how PM was the most handsome man on earth 😎

We cried together through my 25 year journey with PM. I want to THANK my hubby on behalf of my Senga for loving me and for respecting what Senga always said we do.
There is a time we had a big domestic issue and PM paid a ticket for auntie to fly in and solve our issues.  All she said was  "Muwala wange lets kneel and apologize, dont say a word. Am like yiyi? She is like "kugambye WE are going to kneel and just apologize"🙄

We celebrated together 
My kids knew her as the best Jajja ever, after their biological Jajja's. She always remembered my birthday and sure my last conversation on whats app was 15th march 2020 where she calls and sings for you. Auntie Iwill MISS you
