I saw a post about how a lady was still friends with her child’s father and ppl were negative.
It made me think of how my son’s father without fail every year sends me a Mother’s Day text and checks in on his bday and our son has been gone for 6 years. Parents can still get along
The other day my mum called to tell me that she cooked my dad’s favourite meal. Apparently she was craving it a lot that day
I asked when last she cooked it and she said before he died (25 years ago
Sometimes I forget that she lost the love of her life that day (a day b4 her bday
I LOVE that we don’t have a word for “brother” or “sister” in real seTswana. All 3 the words are genderless🥺❤️
Nnake: a sibling younger than me
Nkgonne: a sibling older than me
Kgaitsadi: a sibling of the opposite sex to me.
Do the others have it too?
Until you go to university/college, you'll never understand why people go to such lengths to celebrate completing their degrees (celebrating for weeks/ months).If you've never had the sleepless nights, academic exclusions, losing funding, failing modules, having to skip meals because you don't have enough to eat, you won't get it. We are not celebrating only obtaining degrees. We are happy for hanging on & making it out alive, it's a dreadful journey.🥺
