“It is God. It has never been easy in my life since the love of my heart was confirmed to have cancer, but I still believe it will come to an end,” he said during an interview at his temporary home in a government-owned land in Majengo area, Kakamega county.
Kalabarter noted that his wife’s sickness had weakened her, and he had no option but to be the one taking care of her.
For over 30 years now, he has defied African norms, taking over roles that traditionally his wife was to do. He cooks, washes clothes and dishes, as well as do other general home duties for his wife, and it is all out of love.
The 65-year-old said they both grew up in Turkana County. Their early life was equally full of struggles and challenges.
“My mother deserted my father when I was seven months old, and she got married to another one here in Kakamega. She left us in the care of our grandmother, and up to date I don’t know my father,” Ekali narrated.
For Kalabarter, he grew up on the streets of Lodwar Town, a lifestyle that seemed to be preparing him for what was to come.
“One day, my friends and I decided to board a lorry carrying stones from Lodwar. We didn’t know where we were going, and that’s how we found ourselves in Kakamega,” he recalled.
