• Waiting

  

  If a month had a theme, then July’s would definitely be ‘Waiting’. I feel all I’ve been doing through July is, waiting- waiting for the rains to give us a break from the heat, waiting for my daughter to return from University, waiting for my younger one’s grade 12 results, waiting for my older one’s…

• 3 Visits and 4 Lessons Learnt- At the Doctor

  

    When you get to the visit the G.P  thrice  in a week’s time, once in a position where you’re too weak to lift your head and you need to be taken in and put on drips, the second in a slightly better position, where you need medication for your never-ending cough and third time…
