Poet's note: Cancer claimed half of my family, I lost my sister Apolot Barbra to leukemia, my grandma Teddy to cancer of the colon and my brother DMC Martin Opolot to the same disease! I couldn't handle their absence and silence. I wrote this poem down in 2015 to eulogise them. May their souls rest in peace. I will forever miss them.
