Our friend, Brother Jay, also has a blog and wrote about Charles...
Dear Friends,
Greetings from Bosco Boys. The Lord has given and the Lord has taken him away, Charles Mutinda, born on 06/03/10 was called to his heavenly abode on 5th Oct 2010 early morning at 2.45 am. He was the 4th born in a family of six children. He has three brothers and sisters. He joined Bosco boys on 9th June 2009. About a week back he started to complain about pain on his hip on the right side, he was taken to St. Mary’s Mission hospital and treated and there was no improvement and was taken to St. Theresa Hospital Kikuyu for further treatment and was admitted on 30th Sep 2010. There the doctor diagnosed him with a broken pelvic borne and was put on traction. He further developed complications, such as pain on the hands and later was not able to move the hands, yesterday he was diagnosed with advanced pneumonia and was not clear in his speech. Seeing his situation deteriorating we rushed him to Kenyatta National Hospital on 4th Sept 2010. He was admitted and was put on drips and oxygen. On 5th Early morning at 2.45 in the presence of his father and mother at his bed side the Lord called him to his heavenly abode. May his soul rest in peace.
“MY DEAR BROTHERS’ PLEASE WE SHOULD USE THE CHANCE THAT WE ARE GIVEN.
The way you sleep in studies is the way you loose the chances or your goals
Please don’t forget you are here for few days and you know what brought here is not Fr. Director or Fr. Mtunga; you came here because of your goal
Please try to MAKE your goals because you CAN MAKE IT”
Charles Mutinda.
Few days before he became sick; Mutinda wrote these inspiring words to be put on the Green team notice board.
We love you our Br. Mutinda
REST IN PEACE MY BOY
with the extension of our physical bodies we can not be together but am sure within the spiritual dimension we are together and always we will be. Its sad that we can not shake hands, we can not exchange words etc. but we can still be together cause we belong to the one home in which we are together. The hearts never forget what it welcomes in. Those live together in one heart never separate.
in my heart you remain my brother my boy and my son.
long live boy and pay a visit whenever opportuned
love. jay.

"Don't Leave Me Alone"
This was a passionate plea from little Charles Mutinda to whoever visited
him in the hospital when he was still admitted. Unfortunately his plea was never
granted till he died at the hands of his mother.
He is the Boy who loved and appreciated the services offered to him by Bosco
Boys. This was seen in his readiness to change for good and so becomes one of
the emulated boys in the house.
Mutinda was a friend to many of us and he never fear to speak what was in his
conscience. His openness led him to have many friends however, some did not
understand him.
His desire to stay with his friends even when was sick is enough sign for the
love he had to others. "Please brother let one of you stay here with me!" he
insisted to me some few hours before he was transferred to Kenyatta Hospital.
Again few minutes before he died he asked the two fathers; “please don't go!”
I am sure this plea is still clicking to many of us who had the opportunity to be
with him at the last hours.
This is the cry of Jesus in agony at the garden; ...could you not watch one
hour...? (Mk.14:37)". Just as Jesus, Little Charles Loved us so much that he wanted us to
be with him when was going back to his father.
Charles we are with you forever.
May your soul rest in peace.- Amen.
