This Mandela day

18th July a day that we celebrate each and every year, what have you done to give back, to uplift, and empower those less fortunate. For me this year was not as special as the previous years. As i was about to embark on my journey to help build a house in my area, we received a call saying that we have lost a family member.

Emotions ran through my mind, we were all shocked, no one knew what to do but we eventually gathered our thoughts and went to the hospital and we were told that she past away an hour before, the only question in our minds was what went wrong because the test came back clear , but we then later realised that cause of death is not important what is important is for us to continue to live and be happy no matter what.

Having someone die before you and you though that they were getting better is a huge slap in the face.  But we had to be strong for the whole family,  just a few days after the news we then heard that another family members has passed away. So you can guess that it has not been a great day for me and neither for my family.  It is these sudden death’s that makes you realise that life is precious and you should live life to the fullest. So what did you do??
