Sien Sappie ek speel nog die kitaar!!!

Me and Susan Bannister Dec 2007!!!!
We met in NZ about 2 years ago when working at the same company. Susan's also from SA and we have a ball here....

It is amazing how people's paths crosses and you don't realize why but one day it strikes you there was a reason to meet each other. We have been through sad times, happy times "a Little bit to much wine times" and it is all those times that makes a friendship grow stronger and then you are so addicted to the friendship you can hardly imagine your life without it...

don't know how did we ever survived without one another...








This is Me and my mum at the Xmas dooooo...

What an inspiration and support my mother is for me. Ever since I can remember she was there no matter how bad or sad..

I am blessed to share so many special moments with my mum...









This is Darnel (left) and you met Susan before... Darnel, Susan and me have been through difficult times together and she is another friend of mine that you at first don't realize what this friendship means to you until you are rock bottom and these people literally picks you up from the ground and make you feel like a million dollar after some guy just made you feel worth nothing. And then you realize one should not neglect your friends when you are happy and in love..
The 3 of us had been through some similar break ups and it is funny how there was always one strong one amongst us making turns to pick up the pieces.
Thank you my friends. Thank you for being my RIVA that God send my way. When I prayed and asked God how will I survive without Rive he send me these two angels. Even though I find it very hard still to live without Riva you guys did well.. If you meet Riva one day you will see it is hard to live up to her lol...





This us!!!!
This love is unbreakable......

Our friends increase the quality of our lives. Their presence causes our years to pass quickly and our days to be filled with meaning. The lengthen our days, improve our health and bring an enjoyment to our lives that we all need. Our friends remind us of what is special and lovable about us when the weariness of day - to - day existence has sometimes caused us to forget that something is.

MERRY XMAS!!!!

This is the 3 girls in my life... Merische (right) Philna (left) and Moemfie in the middle...

To all my friends and family that stood by me when I was so sad in SA, thank you for taking care of my kids when I was not in the position to do that myself. This is how big they are!!!

We love and miss you all VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!! xxxx

Chrismas is here!!! Dis kersfees!!!

To all my friends around the world. Hope you all have a wonderful xmas and enjoy the festive season. This is the time of year that you think about the good, bad and the ugly. Thinking of ways to improve as a person and the "how to make more money"

The past year have a lot of special memories for me. There is a lot of sad memories amongst them but they made me stronger. I want to share some of them with you...

Some of the highlights from 2007

Juan was born on 30/10/07. Babies is God's way of showing the world must go on...

I have met most amazing people in this year!!! You know who you are!!!

I have made contact with some of my old friends I have not spoken to in 11 years!!!

The most important part of 2007 is I have realized how strong I really am.

Some sad memories:

Me and Ross broke up 4/08/07.....

Two of my best friends broke up with their partners. One them had a miscarriage... Such a strong woman - you know who you are!! You are doing so good.. Without the 2 of you in my life I would be so lost!!!

I still miss RIVA VERY MUCH!!!!! It is almost 2 years since I last saw her and instead of improving I miss you every day more and more. You are my sister closest to my heart... We have been through so much.. Thank you for all the love you gave me when we were together still living off that love...

I found out one of my best friends died in a car crash!! Sonja Ek was so lief vir jou!!

This is what I mean!! I have two lovely daughters to show after a horrible marriage of 6 years...

Somedays I ask myself why did I ever stayed in a relationship like that and then I look at my girls and realize that is the reason...

I got married 30/10/1999 in Bloemfontein. The marriage did not last long... After 6 years we were divorced. I have my lovely 2 children to show though!! This is the only photo I have left of my wedding. So sad I always dream about my big day and the day was anything but happy!! And You only marry once for the first time....

This is my little one. Philna, was born on 13 Sept 2001 in Bloemfontein, the gynae had the dates wrong and she was born to early!! Her lungs were not fully developed and the worse fear of loosing my baby was facing me. She stayed in ICU for a month and 5 years later and you can see why I think she is my little angel... I must admit the older she get the angel side is fading.... lol!!!

This is me and Merische in South Africa 2006.

This was taken a week before we left for New Zealand when we left NZ I had two small girls - today when I look at them they are so grown up. We went through so much together..... There is no love like the love between a mother and her child.
