“For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands. “ -Christina Rossetti

 

It’s 1 :  00 PM on day 2934 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,   read a Bible verse and do some work

 

On this day 24 years ago my parents brought into this world a baby girl and my life has been richer ever since so much laughter, light and the occasional tiff or two but through it all through it all there was, is and always will be an undercurrent of love that keeps us together. Happy Birthday Neethu I won the sister lottery the day you were born (I hope you feel the same) thank you for always cheering for me even when you know it’s crazy to do so.

Day 2567: On this day 23 Years Ago…….

It’s 2: 37 PM on day 2567 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,  have breakfast, read Habakkuk 2:3, go to church – Thanks to Reverend Howarth for allowing me to spread the word about 50 New Feet for MiracleFeet in the Vincent Methodist church – have breakfast with my family  and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $3 556 only $9 844 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far) .

 

On this day 23 years ago my mommy gave birth to my baby sister I was too young to know it but it was the best day ever my sister is the friend that everybody needs and the sister that every sister deserves brutally honest with you for your own good and always there for you (thinking about it makes me want to cry she left for med school 5 years ago but still makes every effort to make sure we know she hasn’t forgotten us she has called every day twice a day from the first day she was in university. Of all the things I am proud to be I’m proudest to be your sister you are everything this world should be I so admire your courage of conviction and like I told you most days I’m so glad you were born. Happy Birthday Neethu love you lots and lots♥

Day 1107: Happy Birthday Neethu

“Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other.” ― Carol Saline

 

It’s 4  : 09 PM on day 1107 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,pray, read 2 Samuel 10,  feed myself  boiled egg and All Bran Flakes for breakfast,   publish my Disability of the Day feature    and go to a braai (barbecue) – today is National Braai  Day, Heritage Day and my cousin’s kid’s birthday so they decided to celebrate by having a braai  it was fun we ate and played 30 Seconds 🙂

 

Today my sister turns 19 in the 19 years that she’s been alive she’s taught me more about being bold than anybody else on the planet. Happy Birthday Neethu may you always speak your mind and refuse to be a doormat for anyone.
