For your information, I am not a friend of Retta but a comrade. That means I am also your comrade (friend if you prefer). Someone will remember you and your story, just be patient. Stay alive and well. And do not have hate-love relationship with EPRP. You should only love EPRP. Retta had love-hate relationships with individuals but not with EPRP. Yours should not be different. Keep hope alive. Mister Mezega!!!

I think it is about living for an ideal in the face of the harshness of the prevailing reality and with the sad realization that, that ideal might never be realized at all. Many, if not all, who passed thru EPRP's project must be facing the same ordeal and the same predicament. You know what pains me most and why I envy Retta? I don't think I have a friend like Obo Arada Shawl to tell my story after I am gone, nor am I sure whether I am worthy enough to deserve one. God bless your soul, Retta!!!
