Sometimes you need to know a person's history to fully appreciate them. And this is one such instance. Eric Omondi is a man who we have known as a top comedian but never as a human being. not fully anyway. But he has shared his life experience and I am happy to say that rather than get sympathy, it has made him seem like more of a real human being than just a celebrity.

He chose to tell the world about his life journey after his mother died and how his foster mother took him under her care in her own home and has managed to save his a career he never even knew he would have.

But I cannot tell this story as well as he surely would so let me give him the opportunity to tell his own story:

So here is the story...The lady in the picture is called Evelyn Muchocho, she is my foster mother. In 2002, two weeks after I lost my mother I met her in church, she requested that I see her after the funeral n I did. A month before this my mother Margaret Omondi was to take me to KTTC (Kenya Telecommunications and Technical College) what is now known as the Multimedia University on Mbagathi road, but then my mum fell sick and was hospitalised, the focus changed from my college fee to hospital bills. Evelyn took me to Daystar University and ensured I graduated against all odds, this (Daystar) is where I met my friend, Dad, brother n mentor Churchill. Evelyn took me into her house in early 2004 when I lost my dad n I lived under her roof n care until 2010 when I finally graduated. Whenever I go back home I go back home to her...on this day that people are celebrating their WCW I celebrate my mother Evelyn...I love you mum...God keep you in perfect peace and lift you forever more. (That boy on my lap is my cousin).
