Mukandagijimava Epiphanie welcomes her daughter’s questions and says that relationships should be based on love, respect, and communication. Mukandagijimava Epiphanie assures her daughter that she will support her through her life choices.
“It did not affect only me, many Rwandese had the predicament of losing their relatives. I noticed that dwelling on this would not help me to carry on with life. When I talk to others and what they went through, I feel strengthened by love because there is a time for all of us in this world to take a next step.” Mukandagijimava Epiphanie
“Mother, you told me that you do everything out of love. How come out here most homes get problems right after they get married, even among my friends at school? Could you tell me three things that you went by to select Papa?” Muhongwanseck Scholastique
