Just last week news of the tragic accident that put Wangechi and Tewa in hospital was all over social media.

It was a mourning hour for most people especially Tionna's Family for the loss they suffered. The memory of the happenings that day will stay in people's minds for a long time. So what is Tewa upto after the horrible accident, Check out her statements:

"Ive indulged in the internet as much as i could,i couldn’t help it, when I saw the number of notifications on my Facebook profile, overwhelmed by the get well soon wishes, its beautiful really, and I’m grateful….but its hard for anyone to understand the kind of emotions going through me at this time. Reading through her tumblr, I just can’t believe I couldn’t be there for Tionna when she needed me. I wish I Knew. I wish she could have told me she was sad. and instead of shallow conversations about the turn up and a few mild exchanges of emotions…..maybe a deeper connection would have brought out even a little light in her. I wish I knew my baby was sad. I should have known….

But now, a little too late, i know, just how important it is, to love yourself, and to love the people around you enough to care deeply and genuinely, because were all just babies. We all need to be held too. We all need someone to tell us, ”everything will be okay, you are not alone.” when we hit rock bottom, and now the toughest thing for me, the hardest part of my grieving is that I fell into a category of people we call ‘friends’ the ‘how are you doing?’….. but…. ‘i don’t care enough to wait and LISTEN for an answer’ type of friend.

It saddens me, because she is such a beautiful soul.

Her presence is still with us,in a better place where she may rest in peace, but she will always be in our hearts.

Tionna I don’t know God’s plan, i wish i did, but i know you’re in a better place, if only heaven had a phone and we could talk, then i wouldn’t have to miss you so much but Rest in peace love, you will forever be a part of me."
