Prayer Day

Several years had passed and Becky’s son Kiplimo was in his fourth year in high school. He was about to sit for his final exams. The prayer day for the form fours was around the corner. The parents would come to join the candidates in a special prayer to ask God to be gracious to the candidates as they write their last papers.

When they had gone for half term about a month ago, the candidates had carried invitation cards to their parents inviting them for the event. Each candidate had been given three cards. Kiplimo had delivered one card to his father. He had secretly send another card to her mother through Roba.

Finally, the long-awaited day came. Kiplimo had not seen her mother ever since that day she visited him in school. At that time, he was just a small boy in standard five. He wondered how she looked now. He had been keeping some photos of her and his Dad. In one of the photos, his Mum and Dad were dressed in the wedding attire. Mum was a radiant bride in her wedding gown.
