This year might have not yet come to an end, but it is safe to highlight events in it.
1. January my kids went back to school
2. February I lost my nephew, well it is safe to say my family lost a dear child, a cousin, a grandchild and a friend to all those who knew warm heart. This month in 2011 tested my faith and my spirituality, for I have never felt such pain.
3. March, we laid my nephew to rest, since he passed away on the 27th of February. March was yet heavy to the heart. This was truly a testing month, waking up, knowing I’ll never see my nephew again, took its tow on me.
4. April, the month of my graduation, I had mixed emotions. My husband couldn’t make it to my graduation and I was disappointed as he has been with me thru my journey. It was still a proud moment, an achievement worth celebrating.
5. May is my birthday month so it is automatically that I treat this month with favour.
6. June, school work an pressure to perform, what a hectic month. An emotional month in the family, where we had to perform a ritual of sharing my nephew’s clothes. Symbolic to the end of our grieving, so that we could try to find peace in his passing away. Strange enough, the day was a fun family event. We got to share jokes and stories about him, instead of tears.
7. July was just a month, can’t really single out an event
8. August, my cousin left for Pretoria/Tshwane,I was very happy for her achievement, but sad that she was going away.
This year thus far, has had its fair of share of sadness, but I have not lost faith that good things are still to come.
You had a busy year so far!
