GRATITUDE 🙏🏽💕🥰

 

This post is about everyone who has played a major role in my healing journey, the people who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, the people who encouraged me, the people who helped me find hope and purpose again, the people who loved me when I thought I was unlovable, the people who celebrated me when I felt like a failure, the people who cried, laughed and hurt with me, the people who carried the burden with me and the people who never gave up on me when I gave up on myself. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to each one of you guys for working hard in helping me regain my strength and getting me back on my feet again. Le ganne ka nna strong batho ba me and that on it’s own is a huge blessing🙏🏽When I count my many blessings I count each and every one of you twice. I thank God for sending angels in a human form my way, you fill my life with so much happiness and keep me grounded always🙏🏽💕🥰

 

To my brother, ngwana mma and malome to my children Ofentse, words fail me because I don’t know what I would have done/will do or where would I be without your unwavering support and love. I want to take this moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you’ve done for me over the years. From our childhood to the support you have given me as an adult, your presence in my life brings warmth and has been a constant source of strength and joy. I'm grateful to God for sending you as my brother, with a brother like you, I have already received more love than most people get in a lifetime. I appreciate you being there for me and my children always, for always giving yourself selflessly without even complaining nor getting tired. You’re always ready to give of yourself anytime and being our protector always. You’re always available for my children in a way that I can’t even explain, you play a father figure role to my children so well that I wish for God to bless you with your own because I know you will wear that hat very well.  Thank you for who you are and for the role you play in my life and that of my children especially Ororiseng, I really I appreciate you and what you do for us. May God bless your beautiful heart and soul🙏🏽💕🥰

 

To my children Didintle, Dipalesa and Ororiseng, thank you for loving me, for being there for me especially when I needed you the most. Words fail me, I honestly don’t know how to express my gratitude to you guys for the huge role you played in pulling me out of the pit and through my healing journey. Thank you for giving me hope, thank you for your unconditional love. Through this journey, you guys have been my pillars. Didintle—my graceful warrior, navigating life with elegance, laughing through her pain, and taking up the role of “deputy mom” like it’s an executive position. Dipalesa—my firecracker, keeping me on my toes and reminding me (sometimes a little too enthusiastically) that I am destined for greatness. And Ororiseng—my miracle child, who reassures me with every smile and hug that everything is going to be okay.  You guys are my happy place, my safe space, thank you for reassuring me that we’re going to be okay, thank you for the laughter & the tears, thank you for letting me be vulnerable, thank you for grounding me always. I love you more than words could ever express, ke a leboga bo chomi bana ba Dips🙏🏽💕🥰

 

To all my aunts, Tokky, Lenkeme and Neo words cannot even express how I appreciate you stepping up and stepping in where we need you the most, for carrying me and my children, filling the big shoes my mother left and always ready with love and guidance. You have been and still are our pillars, I honestly do not know what I would have done or do without you in my life, without your prayers and your love. Your selflessness and dedication to me especially during my divorce journey and all the other challenges I’ve been going through are truly admirable, and I am so grateful for you being in my life. You’ve always and still do provide stability and an escape from day-to-day, you always serve as our safety nets, our comforters, protectors and supporters. Thank you for opening your arms, homes, and hearts, I know that Mama is happy and smiling. Ba re mmane wa ngwana ke mme ngwana you guys are an epitome of that, you wear that hat so proudly, loudly and unapologetically, I truly and honestly appreciate you guys. I always say family over everything because when all else fails, they're the only people who will be by your side standing with you and you guys are a true testament of that, thank you from the bottom of my heart. When I count my blessings, I count you twice as much and when I thank God, I thank Him twice as much for you in our lives. Ke a leboga bo Mmane🙏🏽💕🥰

To my Fenzola, chomi words fail me because you’ve always had my back since high school. We’ve been through the most together and I’m actually emotional when I think of how you’ve always checked on me, motivated me and just by you asking me “How Are You?”. That question you will never know what it did for me, every time when you would call and you don’t find me, you sending those text message asking if I am okay, you telling me that you’re worried about me. You making me laugh and telling me it’s going to be okay, you telling me that you can’t wait for me to get to a space where I am successful after the divorce and find love that I deserve and we celebrating together, for lending a helping hand always, just your laughter nje and you loving me and being there for me in a way that only you can be, thank you for listening without judgement, thank you for offering a shoulder to cry on always, thank you for creating a safe environment/space for me to vent and for keeping me grounded always.
