My dad’s been gone for 9 days.
Cremated 5 days ago.
His memorial was 2 days ago.
All so sudden, I couldn’t get up there (1,300km away).
Yet I’ve had to be at work. Stiff upper lip & all that.
Dealing with clients, putting up a smile.
I am not OK.
Not easy to admit, but I’m not.
In other news…
My mom had a stroke this morning.
I got back to Wellington from Stellenbosch in record time and got her to the hospital in less than an hour.
She’s doing well this evening and we hope and pray tomorrow will bring good news.
She’s my rock 🙏🏻❤️
I was just phoned awake to hear my father passed away.
This doesn’t feel real.
He was in hospital, but doing better every day.
I was still planning on flying him down for my birthday.
This doesn’t feel real.
My friend’s wife was transferred from Paarl to Pretoria a few weeks ago.
Hepatitis A caused massive liver damage and he’s been told to get there sooner than later.
I never do this, but any prayers are welcome.
Please.
Please pray for Marié.

I have just received news that Susan passed on 12 February.
She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer on 28 December 😢
Rus sag, Susan. Jy was ‘n ligstraal in baie lewens ❤️
Got home at 05:00. Dr only got to mom at 03:30. Was upset at Mediclinic at first, but the doc was great & explained the delay.
Mom broke her femur, been admitted to hospital & will be getting a hip replacement on Wednesday.
At least she’s on good pain meds until then.
Taking a friend to breakfast at 09:00 to talk about a rift in his marriage, yet here I am, still awake at 01:00.
He’s the closest I have to a brother and I’ve known them both for 27 years.
Please let this one be sorted, saved. I need good vibes to work on this one.
Yet I have to be.
My mom needs me.
Giving up is not an option.
I can only believe Karma will catch up to the ones that forced me to not be able to grieve, travel, organise.
The wheel turns…
