Letter to my love who's far away

Praxedes Muli vividly remembers the first day she met her husband Francis Muli Solovea. Even though they were both still so young and wet behind the ears, she still recalls the confident boy who sat next to her in class back in primary school.

He had been transferred from another school so she took it upon herself to educate him about a few things on the school. They became good friends since then, but little did she know they would meet later in life, fall in love and start a family together. While Praxedes pursued a career in teaching, Muli joined the army where he met his death while on his way to a mission in Somalia.
