Sebraogo Kiendrebéogo, aka Seb

Seb was my APCD on paper for three years, but in reality he was so much more. He was a mentor, a friend, a brother. I made the mistake thinking that there would be more time with him. So, I put off seeing him. I had already seen him during parts of his illness and it was just too hard to see him when he was unwell.... So, I went and visited other parts of the country because I thought there would always be more time. More time to laugh, more time for him to be at important events in my life, more time to make memories. I was wrong. I didn't want it to hurt, but either way it would hurt just as much.

So if you are looking to some cause to donate to, please donate to his family. He leaves behind his wife and two young children, but also all of his extended family as well.
