Well it's 02h30 in the morning and I am restlessly trying to get to sleep. You see my Mum is coming to live in the UK - yes Folks - Shaugie's beloved Nanna & Poppa are on the aeroplane right now as we speak jetting their way to this green and pleasant isle!
The last time I even lived in the same city as Mum was back in 1994 - when we left JHB to pick up the pieces of our lives after my Mum's divorce to my Dad - and go live in Durban - where she has stayed ever since.
I'm not scared by her coming to live in the same city as us - in fact I am SO relishing the thought that Shaugie will be having his Nanna and Poppa (my stepdad Gary) living 5 km's down the road from us that I think that is why I can't sleep!
It will also be a relief for me especially to know that she is not stok steen alleen in Kloof - in a big House - with crime the way things are - when Gary is away at work.
I think it will also do the wee tyke the world of good to have his grandparents so close - as he absolutely adores them. And if I know them - They will fall in love with the true angel sent by God - that I have.
That little boy has bought healing where there was hurt; and shown me that it is possible to love someone (other than my GORGEOUS wife) so completely! He has healed broken hearts - and all through the simplest of things - a hug here - a kiss there - but heal me he really has.
The next few weeks are going to be filled with a whirlwind of activity - but I'll keep you posted!
I'm starting to feel sleepy now - and the school photographer is at the school today - so I better get my weary eyes shut and have a good ol' Dudu!
Peace
Ryan
