On a somber day at Bomet Green Stadium, Rachel Shebesh, the former Nairobi Woman Representative, delivered a heartfelt eulogy for the late Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso. Published on August 2, 2019, her words would go on to spark a lively conversation on social media.
Shebesh fondly recalled how Governor Laboso would often describe her husband, Edwin Abonyo, as a 'loving husband who never left her side during difficult times'. But that was not all - she went on to praise Abonyo as a man from a special cloth of husbands, one who 'came from heaven', unlike others who 'came walking'.
“Edwin you are a true reflection of love. Joyce told us that she is luckier than all of us combined and I can agree. You are those husbands that come from heaven; ours came walking,” said Ms Shebesh.
Her words did not go unnoticed, with many Kenyans taking to social media to share their thoughts on the matter. Some men wondered if their significant others placed them in the 'husband from heaven' category, while others joked about how to detect if a man is from heaven.
