Despite the usual expectations of tension between an ex-boyfriend and a widow, Sharon's words were sincere and heartfelt.
Sharon openly shared her reflections on her relationship with Otuoma, which was far from perfect but enriched both of their lives in ways they never expected.
How did Rachael help Otuoma?
He admitted that if he had stayed with him, Otuoma would not have reached the heights he did; He may never have found the direction he needed, direction that eventually came through his marriage to Rachael.
“I was a city girl, born and raised, and with Otuoma, our life together could have been in a small kitchen in Makongeni, struggling day by day,” he admitted.
Sharon realized that Rachael had given Otuoma something she couldn't: a stable home, a sense of direction, and a marriage that led to a more fulfilling life than she could ever offer.
He praised Rachael for standing by Otuoma, for helping him become the person he was, and giving him a meaningful and dedicated life.

He pointed out that if he had stayed in the relationship, their union would not have been the marriage that Otuoma eventually had, which led to a house and a wedding.
“I left Rachael's house,” Sharon said
Did Sharon communicate with Otuoma during the illness?
Sharon also spoke softly about the love that Otuoma and Rachael had given her, even during her illness.
He revealed that Rachael and Otuoma used to call him at least twice a month.
In his honour, Sharon made a heartfelt plea to the people of Kenya.
He said:
“I want to ask you Kenyans to watch your tongues. Standing with a sick person is no walk in the park. Rachael and Otuoma's mother may have their differences, but please, don't stir them up. Pray for peace to reign between the two.”
