So many thoughts in my mind tonight!
Thinking of Riversdale str in Nasaret, Middelburg, South Africa where I grew up!:)
Thinking of The WOMEN who guided me....
Its never easy to hear that a woman who was significant in shaping a community has passed on, Especially when that phenomenal woman was just like a mother to you!!!! So i'd like to take a moment and pay tribute to some ladies who have impacted me forever!!!!
I SALUTE YOU!!!
Aunt Kulsum(RIP)
Aunt Manny(RIP)

Aunty: Dolly,Doepsie,Edu,Get,Violet,Cathy, Shiela,Meta,Mabel,Colleen
Sables,Gene,Janey,Sannie
Mrs: Matsimane,Adonis,Patience,Short,Maskew,Rabie,Tockey,Reeds,Ross,Smith,Ward
Sis Peterson,Poppy, Mostert, Lawrence,Barbara,Sandra,Mella.Peerbhaai,
To any mother I may not be mentioning... Or May have forgotten.... Please forgive me....
You Mothers gave us all examples of what it is like to be a woman! I'm so
enriched by what I take from each one of you! Thank you for valuable
lessons learnt over the years! Amazing meals cooked! Constant prayers
for your daughters and others' daughters....
It's at times when we lose an Outstanding Woman in society that we sit back and reflect on
the impact they have made in our lives...
Today i'm humbled to know that Because of the wisdom God gave all of you amazing women in my life.... i am still here.....
With tears in my eyes and a heart filled with GRATITUDE.... THANK YOU!!!!
My Journey… Natural Hair Diaires. Random Thoughts. Trying Something New.
after having lived in the united states and absolutely falling inlove with the country... i also really appreciate thanksgiving. after recently losing my mom, your post resonates with me on so many levels. having an attitude of gratitude is so important despite whatever we may be going through. thank you for reminding me how vital it is to remain thankful and make people around us aware that we are grateful for their contribution (no matter how big or small) to our lives and that making us who we are. sending you love and light in abundance:)
ReplyDeleteHi Lois. Atiyya and Aadila here. Sitting and reading your blog and proud of you. An amazing tribute that is so heartfelt - takes us straight back to life in Nasaret and drives to school in Witbank on the combi. Wishing you all the best ... hi to your mom and sister.
