As we soldier on...

As we soldier on, through  different avenues. My sister left on Monday, 18th August. My son doesn't understand yet, but somehow he couldn't stop clinging to her. Saying goodbye is never easy, just as my dear friend Carien said on her msg. I am happy for her, and I know that should I have had the chance I would've also. She has just shown me that everything is possible. That I can just fly to the other side of the world, and send a msg to say"safely arrived." *HHHHHAAA these kids. As I soldier on with my dissertation, it it is getting tiring and cumbersome. After last week Wednesday's research meeting I was so upbeat. The weather also really helped, so I got a chance to look at my wardrobe and try change it accordingly. I am preparing myself as a new Masters graduate. Kitty had indicated that it is possible to finish and hand in our papers by November this year. I have been getting feedback and changing my work consistently so far, until this morning. I woke up at 2am, hoping to do a whole weekend's work. She caught me out, I feel so stupid. Thanks to a chat from Fortunate, I know that I can make it, I know that I can stand no matter what may come my way. My life is in God's hands. I've come too far to back down now. My deciding to come back and study has been a very topsy turvy ride, and I wouldn't wish anyone to go my route. Leave everything on a wing and a prayer, ignore creditor calls and wish "izikoloto" away. I am almost at the finish line. I can see the prize and the future is bright, I must just finish. Kitty must just hang in there and offer her support one last time,. I promise I won't dissapoint. Sunday at church they were talking about Favour, and I could align my life according to this lady's testimony. Helen is her name and she is a dignitary who has been through a lot, miscarriages, ectopic preganancies, a poor background, but she made it. has her qualifications now after being a domestic worker. I CAN... Aluta continua!
