well i officially turned fifteen yesterday, however i cannot celebrate. i kinda forgot all about my birthday, Due to certain unfourtunate and sad incidents that took place in my family over last week. So i did not buy any new clothes for myself. So my mom said she would just get me something to wear at home on my birthday. so at 11.30 at night my bro and her went and got me a ouma t-shirt and the next day in the morning they got me some pants(quite nice) to go with it. After english paper and a super long presentation with mr malcolm tan i made my way home. I took a bath and put on the new clothes and went up to see my grandparents first, ate some lunch then after that i went to see my other grandma(u noe the one who lost her husband, my grandpa). I walked into the house and she smiled and gave me a hug and said"birhday girl is here". My uncle, granduncle and grandaunt were there and came to me and gave me a hug and wished me. Then my grandma told me " don't be sad and don't think about it, your mutachan has gone to a better place where he is at peace and one day we will all go there, so don't worry about it ok" then she asked me to go and pray to him. so i went to his photograph at the small alter there and prayed to him and wished him happy birthday as well. then i stayed there for a while and listened to stories that my grand people and uncle were talking about. my granduncle told us about a dream that he had just minutes before my great-grandpa passed away, obviously a very long time ago. wow that story was really amazing how he had seen the thing just minutes before, not going into detail but if u want to noe u can ask me. I stayed there till eight plus hoping that my aunt would make it back by then but she didnt so i made my way across the street back to my home. Then my aunt called and said " yah my mother just told me u left i rushed all the way back just to see u and i just missed you" then she wished me happy birthday and told me not to worry and think about anything and just enjoy myself, everyone who wished me told me not to worry and think too much about it(my grandpa not being here to celebrate with me) , but i feel much better than before and not soo sad. So yah i will go and buy my clothes on saturday or sunday when i meet up with sharina to buy something for Juline's birthday. So wanna shop with me shaz? my baby cousin Ronan is so cute, today he is in such a gd mood, but then again he is always smiling.
PS: if you misunderstood me......The grandpa that passed away is not my mother's father or my father's father, he is my aunt's father my grandma's sisters husband. Yeah so you may think why would i be sad over this he is not my direct grandpa, but i have grown up with him for a very long time, he helped me get my first library card and used to love spending time with his grandchildren. My mother has grown up with him since the time she was young and other family members as well so we are very close to him alotof my family, some not really. So yah i was very close to him and so were my brothers and my mom and her siblings and definately Anushka and Ronan but they are too young too understand what's going on, they're only 2+ and 7 months old.
