Most of you will not know the story, and I cannot tell the full story in this blog, because not everyone will want it to be made public. Not everyone is as open as I am.
I will tell you a bit... Today, I had a long chat with my son, whom I have not seen in many years.
It started out when I got a message from this person who said that she was my son's fiancée. I was wondering if this was a scammer. I asked, which one of my sons?
No, it was not a scammer. My only son will be getting married this year. What's his name? He has my name. 🤣
It was tears of joy today. There is plenty that I have to share with him, and I think he is just as anxious to hear.
This is a short blog, but the story behind it could be made into a book. Since you want to know more, I have been divorced for about 15 years - I have not been keeping track of the years. Thanks to those who have been beside me and behind me, so my life has not been lonely.
Now you will understand why I have been taken up with helping others. It keeps me going.
I was there helping the doctor when my first son was born. It was love at first sight. With all that has happened, it is still the same love. I love you, my son.
I will leave my Bark Di Trute supporters with this advice: Never pour bitter lemon into someone else's glass because things did not work out for you. Love is the healer; bitterness is the killer.
I now present my son Vernon and his fiancée, Shaniqua. Let's wish them all the best, and I hope to get my first grandchild soon. I don't have all the time in the world to wait!
