We trekked for five and a half days to finally reach Uhuru peak, the glacier covered summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Uhuru means “freedom” in Swahili, and I truly felt free. I will always remember taking in the serene view with my Dad as we triumphantly stood 19,341 feet up in the sky. Shortly after our trip, my dad suffered a heart arrhythmia.
