Day 2706: Happy Birthday Daddy

“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.” – George Herbert

It’s 1 : 00 PM on day 2706 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read John 13:34 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised $7 431 only $5 069 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks so much to everyone who has helped out so far).

Today is my father’s birthday and although I know that public declarations of affections make him uncomfortable life is short and without him I literally wouldn’t be here so I’m going to make him uncomfortable just for today. Happy birthday daddy thank you for teaching me that there is magic in small acts of kindness. Your desire to empower inspires – I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you cannot turn anybody in need away I’m me because of the way you choose to live (I still remember a gardener showing up at our gate one morning and even though there was nothing for him to do you invented things for him to do just so he wouldn’t starve that day and you didn’t want to just give him the money because you wanted to give him the dignity of earning his wage [ as long as I live I will never ever forget that morning it touched my heart in such a profound way]).

Part of my life’s purpose is to help open doors for people that they would find hard to open by themselves – that’s what I’ve realized.

Never apologize for expressing love, kindness and joy – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 1 : 03 PM on day 2700 of my journey towards independence and I managed to go drop my sister at airport – she’s back at university after summer break – pray, read Psalm 34:14 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – A HUGE thanks to Piyuse uncle and family who donated $100 which brings the total raised to $7 401 only $5 099 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot.

Today I was asked by someone I love why I’m overly expressive of my feelings towards people on social media (I’m like that in real-life as well I guess it’s more noticeable on social media because I use multimedia to express my feelings) the person who asked me this is rather stoic so it must make him uncomfortable that I’m not at all shy about my feelings anyway in answer to his question I said I was trying to be kind I will never apologize for trying to be kind the world needs more of it and people deserve to know they are loved by me.

This morning my sister walked into the dining room and asked why are you looking so glum? she naturally assumed I was sad about my possible Osteoporosis diagnoses meanwhile I was staring at my laptop screen frustrated that despite my best efforts I wasn’t moving more people to care about kids with clubfoot (my problems have never been the centre of my life that’s how I get through them).

It’s 4 : 31 PM on day 2693 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Philippians 3:10-11, go shopping with my sister – i cannot believe we spent R3000 on clothes (almost enough for clubfoot treatment for one child) but i’m not going to feel guilty about my privilege I do my best to help every life that I can – and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised $6 926 only $5 574 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks so much to everyone who has helped out so far).

Today I wanted so badly to make a promise I knew I couldn’t keep but I refrained and decided that from that moment I decided in life I would make only a few promises and keep all of them.
