"Happy Birthday, sthandwa sam. I will never stop posting your old photos. This post actually tells a story. If you scroll past the first 2 photos. I’m showing you in Matric so people can see you haven’t aged much. Then it was student life, where we were super skinny - and not by choice. You got your license. We graduated, and we were gonna go teach English in China!" she exclaimed.
She went on to share their life goals and how they made plans to go to China; however, life had other plans for them.
"No matter how hard we tried, it just didn’t work out...but now we know it was never meant to work out like that. The Lord laughs when we make plans, because He has his own plans for us. We ended up in eGoli, and that’s a story for another day. Rest in peace, to ubhut Siya and enkosi kakhulu (Thank you for everything.)"
The content creator praised her hubby and hailed him for being the best father to their daughter, Zakkie.
"I got a job, and we moved into our own place. Sis L bought us a TV, and you were so happy because now you can watch Arsenal. My first purchase was electric toothbrushes because we never had them growing up. Then you got a job. You are such a hard worker and one of the smartest people I know! You always tried your best, even through the tough times, and it showed me how resilient you are. We also shared our first Christmas together. You went home one December and came back telling me we’re getting married. We didn’t know how we were going to pay for everything, but like always, we made it through. God is good. We got married, and the story continues. Zakkie has the best father one can ask for. I love watching you two. To many more, my love and to many blessings."
