Dear Boaz,
I never realised just how much your passing has affected me until I found myself frustrated by the fact that we havent even had a memorial service for you here; but I am glad your family contacted me.
I can imagine what you would have said regarding the UCT red-tape; as frustrating as this may be, you would have been so calm.
There's so much that I wish I could say. Like, how could I have helped? Why didnt I see this coming ..but I have no regrets about telling you just how your Sotho accent sucks *smiles*. Remember that time when you said "Thabang ke hohlile" ( " Thabang I have returned ") hahahaha, in your accent. It was so-o bad! Everytime I saw you I would keep asking gore o "hohlile na" but in your accent. Trust me to do that to you!
To think you were here, alive last week this time. You know what I've been doing ever since I found out? Been spending my time wondering where you are now and what you are doing, and praying for your family.
I know Sydney misses you. Guess what, you managed to know both of us briefly before you passed. LOL, I forgot to tell ya, you know last year when you used to come to our room (before you got to know Syd),he used to make fun of your accent too. Hahaha.
We miss you, maybe more so because we know we wont see you again. Sometimes I get so mad at ya, you know- for just leaving like that. You chose to! I have so many thoughts about you- been trying to do the maths, but school helps me forget.
:-)
Yoh, Thabang u are deep boy...been reading your blog since Boaz passed on, I am his cousin from his dad's side. Wish I knew him bettter.
ReplyDeleteHi Thabiso. Boaz was amazing. I WISH you had gotten the opportunity to get to know him as well. It is the way he carried himself. What a man.
ReplyDeleteFunny enough my mum knew Boaz so well since my mum grew up with father in kuruman, I was so scared couldnt go see him lifeless body, he was something else...If only I knew what pissed him off, I mean he had such a good relationship with Lord...anyway it is well.
DeleteIndeed it is well :-). He was going through some issues, and he had told his close friends, we just didnt know it would end this was. It is well nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteIt is well hey, he will live in our hearts......so can I ask? When did u start blogging
ReplyDeleteNot so long ago, last year Jan, I dont get time to do it as much as I would like to, so I only get a chance once in a while- when I need relief. But my intention this year is to try write as much as possible. And you, what do you do?
ReplyDeleteGood day um so sorry for my late replies um so busy . I don't understand what you mean by what do I do. I am a Bsc Science student at Uj and I also run my business when um on recess. Hope that answers you.
