General Duke Posted December 11, 2009 Memorable personal moments from this decade.. Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment. Lao Tzu This was the greatest decade of my life; I started of a young man living in East London, still a student and ended up a resident of the cold city of Minneapolis Minnesota. It’s amazing how far I traveled the change that this time has had. This decade was memorable for the sheer change that took place the physical and mental scars it left, the beautiful memories of my family, friends and comrades in arms; it saw the end of my youth, the birth of my first child as well as the loss of my dear father in 2000. Through the 00s, I met some wonderful people, the friends I made in this period Insha Allah will be life long, it includes the memory of my late great friend who passed away suddenly in the middle of the decade; he was my mentor and hero, whose loss left an empty void which I still feel today. I gained a great deal of insight into the Somali dilemma, the history, politics, struggle and common destiny and shared future of the Somali race, it is strange that in many ways my life over the past decade mirrored Somalia, forever in transition, difficult and resisting great change. However I have been fortunate by the grace of Allah SWT, to have survived and prospered and my wish is to see a stable Somalia and a secure future for the Somali’s everywhere.

MAXIMUS POWERS Posted December 11, 2009 Indeed a great decade. Though 2010s will be crucially as important for me inshallah as the 2000s were important for you. Sometimes, I forget that DD is actually a human being. He is too busy being serious, but lately the man has become more human sharing important facets of his life with us. Saxiboow, I pray you live to see many more good years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
