My sister/daughter arrived for a very short visit to us in SA. Today she flew home to the UK. Am glad we didn't do the airport thing again. I cant do the goodbyes.
Yet it feels like I missed out on the last few minutes.
How horrendous is this whole split family thing......AFRICA. My whole family was born here. My grandparents were born here, their parents were born here in most cases. Why should we be pushed out of a land that we have worked for.
We paid taxes. We followed the law, not that there is much law left here anymore.....
Locked doors, cameras everywhere, almost everyone I know has been a victim of crime in one way or another. We rely on community watches and our neighbours.
I am glad they are gone.I am glad they are safe.
But my heart aches for them. My soul longs for them.
I want to be part of their lives. The everyday crisises. The school runs, the fevers, the works issues. I wish I was there
