Reason Maureen Waititu Has Such a Deep Admiration for Her Mom

 

Maureen Waititu with her mom

Maureen Waititu deeply appreciates her mother, who she lovingly calls Wamunyiri. Both her mom and dad play pivotal roles in her life, forming a strong support system she is incredibly grateful for.

She recently shared a heartfelt message to her mother, reflecting on the strength and resilience she’s witnessed.

"In the most imperfect situations, I grew up watching my mother face life's challenges. She endured some really hard times, overcoming countless obstacles to support me, especially because she often had to leave me with relatives to hustle. But let me tell you," Maureen wrote.

Having studied to become a lawyer, Maureen recalls how her mother, who didn’t receive a formal education, prioritized her schooling:

"I always had my uniform and books—education was non-negotiable for her. I’ll never forget when she stormed into my primary school after some students who bullied me took my textbooks. She caused such a scene that I had my books back by the end of the day! That was the Wamunyiri in her!"

Maureen also reflected on the pain her mother endured, including the tragic loss of her younger sister, Pauline Njeri, in 2022.

"But what really baffles me is how she held herself together even after losing another daughter (my older sister) in a school bus accident about two years before I was born."

Over the years, Maureen’s understanding of her mother has deepened, and so has their bond:

"The older I grow, the more I’m given grace to embrace and love her, especially because she missed crucial stages of my life while working hard to provide for me."

Recognizing her mother’s strength has helped Maureen extend grace in return:

"It’s only recently that I’ve come to understand her pain and battles, fighting for me while struggling with her own losses and life’s many challenges."

She ended her message on a hopeful note: "I’m so happy that God is working His way into restoring my beautiful family. I love you, Mom! ❤️❤️"
