Life!!!!

Life!!!!

I know it has been such a long time since I have sat down and wrote, but today, I really feel I need to write!!

Why can't life be as easy as it was when we were kids, just running free and being ourselves?  We had unconditional love from our parents.  We had the most amazing friends, friends who believed in you, and no matter what happened always stayed at your side, no matter what, they would not believe anybody talking nonsense about you.  Then you grow up, and life deals you the biggest slap ever!!!! Such a slap that you just feel useless!!

The Year 2012 and 2013 have been the most trying years of my life, I really don't know about you guys, but it just does not seem to get any better.  Being away from my mom and dad, is really difficult for me.  I miss them so much, at times I wish we could get a job in Welkom and move back.  Back to a place where I know I am safe, a place where life is not as complicated as here in Gauteng. 

We have been here now for 4 years, and you know what if you are not born here, you are an outsider!! The people here think so little of you.  They think - "Ag what, they come from Welkom, what do they know?"

My hubby has had the most difficult and trying times in his life, it is as if the tests of life just get worse.  He has been without a job now for a year, and it seems no matter what he tries, nothing succeeds. And things just seem to get worse.  We try our best to carry on and move on, but I can't anymore, I need my Parents, this hurt we are feeling right now, is really not worth it.  One is sooo safe at home, that safe haven that only parents can give is absolutely amazing.  I can't describe it, my parents are the most loving parents I know - but then again every child should be able to say so.

And maybe our biggest mistake, us Free Staters, Welkomiete, we trust to easily!! We believe only the good in people! And all we want to do is help, and be friends.  I am the type of person who trusts to easily and loves making friends, and of course try to make a difference in lives.

One thing I love and that is teaching computer classes to my primary school kids.  As you all know I am involved at a Primary school here in Springs. And seeing the kids learn and grow is sooo amazing.  Those kids give my life extra meaning!! My hubby and daughter complete my life, but the kids at school, are the added bonus, the added smiles to my face, the added grey hair to my head, and sometimes that headache that no-one wants.  But I love teaching and I love the school and everyone there.

Just wish that life would be different at times! But what ever happens everything in life makes us strong.

Love Always
