All about Mia
On the 18th of September just after one I got the call. THAT call to say Cancer claimed my friend. I rushed to Donald Gordon and held my other sisters as we wept for her. Why we wept I am not sure, the fact that a heart attack claimed her, that it was too soon, that she was no longer in pain? Maybe for them all. I thought about her beautiful kids she left behind and the enormous responsibility for us to love them, to remind them and to protect them. I was sad that she would never see Cape Town again, the one place we both wanted to move to. But thats where her ashes will be scattered. But I didn't write this post to mourn her, instead I want to tell you about the woman she was, and her lessons she taught me. Grace - no matter the hate, the anger or the hurdles. She taught me to carry myself with grace, not because of how other people are. Because it was how I should carry myself. Zen - She taught me about not sweating the small stuff and how to be at Peace...
