Life is funny, isn’t it? This past year and a half has been a blend of blessings and curses, a rollercoaster that has left me breathless. We were hit by COVID, and the world came to a grinding halt. Lockdowns turned our routines upside down, and I faced the harsh reality of being retrenched while Scott remained steadfast in his job.
The hardest blow came when my dad passed away from COVID. Losing him was a weight I still carry, a heartache that lingers. The thought that he will never hold my daughter, Lindiwe Leila, in his arms brings tears to my eyes. I imagine the joy he would have felt, the love he would have poured into her, and it breaks my heart to know that will never happen.
Yet, amid the chaos and sorrow, there were beautiful moments. Scott and I got married, a dream I had long cherished. However, due to the pandemic, we had to scale back our plans to a small ceremony in our backyard. My brother walked me down the aisle, and despite the simplicity, the day was filled with profound emotions and love. It was beautiful in its own right, a testament to our commitment even in the face of adversity.
Now, we are expecting another little girl, adding another layer of joy and anticipation to our lives. Life is undeniably messy, filled with ups and downs, but amidst the chaos, I have found collateral beauty.
And through it all, I am incredibly grateful for the man standing by my side. Scott has been my rock, my partner, navigating the storm with me. Together, we are building a life filled with love, resilience, and hope for the future, one messy, beautiful moment at a time.
