Lalela….. 41 yrs ago today, I became a mom to . From birth, she was quiet but knew what she wanted. Full story on facebook
Fast forward to her first interview for an intern position. The Head of HR at Hollard, called me to tell me he was intimidated by such a young lady who knew exactly what she was about. She is a hard worker, extremely smart (my mom bluntly told me I had nothing to do with that, she said there was something really special and different about her). I learnt to watch and realised how gifted she was. The journey has been eye opening, to say the least. I’ve watched her triumphs and her trials. I’ve seen her reach rock bottom and pull herself up by all she had. I’ve watched be the mother I wished I could have been to her. I learnt to forgive myself for my mistakes, in the process because of her never ending love and compassion for my own journey. I learnt to mother not just her, but my bonus boys and other young people that came into my life. She says she must charge them for getting this awesome version of me 😂
I’ve seen her love for God from a very young age. God has always been her anchor. I sometimes would envy that quiet knowing that she always had. Her path with God has been far from easy. On the contrary, it’s been atrocious at times and hard mostly and amazing in between. But - her faith has been unshakeable. She always knew there’s a reason even through tears and groanings. I take no credit at all for what God is doing with her and through her. I’m just grateful I was and still am part of this journey. I know beyond a doubt that when it all comes to pass, I’ll be praising and worshipping the Almighty, like I am, right now. He is faithful to His promises.
Seesh, your capacity for God, your Father’s business is unsurpassed. We are blessed to call you ours. I’m honoured that you call me, ‘mom’. I love you endlessly. Happy 41st birthday 🎈 🎉🥳🎂 🎁
