In a Facebook post, Itumbi encouraged Maribe that despite having a rough year, it will all pass, and the new year will be better.

He encouraged Maribe to keep soldering on adding that he will stand by her side in all steps on the way.

Here is the full poem:

"I wrote this one late, 

Kindly carry it to the car as you go to court today,

That is why I slip this under your door,

Happy Birthday Jacque Maribe,

Been standing outside your door,With pen and notebook,

Thinking how Tragic a year you had,Impressed by the Magic you have,

Aware that like someone said,

A challenge, only becomes an obstacle when you bow to it.

So here my birthday note,

At least one day this year find a very rainy mid-morning, 

I will come with an umbrella,

So that, I can hold just one raindrop for you, place it on your bicep and watch it roll down.

I ask for no more,Just a chance to watch you re-introduce yourself in 2019,

With your wounds - Yes.With your visible scars - Yes.

But with fresh stamina..Undettered passion Because you are,Jacque Maribe.

Happy Birthday!" Itumbi posted on his Facebook page.
