FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - The holidays are for spreading good cheer, but one family is devastated after the death of a father who lost his battle with COVID-19.
Doug Bwamu, a Seattle Children’s Hospital healthcare worker, was hospitalized for more than a month before he died just days before Christmas."He will not be back in this house.
I was so hopeful that he was going to come back. I was really hopeful," said Tabitha Maina, Bwamu’s partner. "It’s hard to think of him in the past tense right now.
Every time I talk about it in the past tense, it’s still unreal to me."Bwamu is survived by his mother and two sons. The eldest son lives in Delaware with his mother and the youngest lives in Federal Way.
