Ode to Time & Love

Okay so it has been since November and feeling quite bad for not doing anything since then. Today is kind of a special day for me. Three years ago, on this particular day I met what I thought would be a quick fling...three years later and the fling aint a fling no more. Can't actually believe that time has gone by that quickly. I mean I remember exactly what he was wearing the day I met him, seems like just last week sometimes.

How quickly time flys by bring all kinds of things. Time has brought me good friendships (would not change any of my girls for the world) each one brings a completely new dimension into my life that I cant even begin to explain.

Time has brought me sadness and loss but with those came growth and wisdom. Still think of my grandfather constantly. Questioning why it is that people never quite know what they have 'til it's gone. Lala ngoxolo Khonjelwayo, Mlotshwa, Masina, Giyase.

Did I mention that time has brought me love in the form of Thabo...lol. How does the thought of a boy still make you smile that girlish smile three years later...Only God really knows. Our journey has not always been a smooth one (trust me) but all the bumps and meanders in the road have been worth it if it means that we are one step closer to reaching our destiny. Cant really describe what it is about him. It is the small things he does that to me mean the most. It's the little things in life that I am after. (this is obviously besides the dream house with massive windows and, yes 2 beautiful dogs playing in the back yard).

I thank Father Time for blessing me with wonderful role models in my two grandmothers and grandfather. I thank him for my wonderful friends -
Julz & Magz: We have come a long way from where we started off and innocent first years. I have not lost any innocence and am not at privelage to state your nyayas.
Stevie: Words often fail me. Some of the stuff we have gotten up to. All I can say is Friday was a blast and we once again had a Wimpy moment at the end of the evening.
Zoey: Regardless of how civilised you may try to act we all know what you are about and know that you will love us regardless of Friday night calls where we were laughing at you.
Kgomu/S'caza: Keep the faith. Have courage and all your dreams will soon become reality. Dont be so hard on yourself girl.

To all my other friends, ya'll know I have nothing but love for you. Thinking of you brings back back mad memories from falling off tables (Zoey), Losing shoes (Stevie), Bonding with the toilet seat (Julz), and blueness due to Sambucca(Magz)
There are so many other friends and just coz your name don't appear here dont me I love you any less.

To my friend, my soul mate, the love of my life and grandfather of our 9 grandchildren, today I love you just a little more than I did yesterday.
