Experts say parenting is a journey of endless firsts.
From the first cry, first step, first day of school-but perhaps the most difficult first comes when it's time to let go.
For Mary Wanjiru, a single mother of three, letting go was like releasing a part of herself.
She remembers the day her eldest son, Mwangi, boarded a matatu to Eldoret University vividly. "I never thought it would feel this way," she admits, her voice tinged with a mix of pride and heartbreak. "The silence between us was deafening, but deep down, I knew my son was ready to fly." Having raised her children alone, Mary tried to ensure Mwangi grew into a responsible young man.
