A family in Kitui is basking in the glow of a reunion fifty years in the making.

The family of Martha Muthengi got to meet her fifty years after she fled domestic violence and resettled in Bomet County, where she has been living with her new family.

In the early seventies, Martha fled for her life, leaving behind her young children and abusive husband, it was either that or death.

Martha says her then husband mistreated her, beating her time and again.

When she couldn’t bear the beatings anymore, and with advice from close relatives of her then husband, she fled, leaving behind her three children, the youngest one would follow her when he couldn’t bear the abuse from his father.

Fifty years later, she returned to a different reception, in the company of some of the nine children she had with her new husband in Bomet, all of them adults with families of their own.

In a re-union never seen in this village before siblings got to meet each other for the first time, bonding almost immediately, perhaps, giving meaning to the old adage, that blood is thicker than water indeed.

Martha, happy to see her son, daughter, and daughter in law asked for forgiveness for the unintentional abandonment years ago.

Martha is now content, she says her dreams of seeing her children while still alive have come true, and she now embarks on the journey to blend her two families into one.

The re-nion was made possible through Musyi Fm’s programme that seeks to help those who have lost touch to reunite.
