Her Passing Was ...

December was meant to create some beautiful memories with her
Last month of the year was meant for us to reflect and regain
Last days were meant for her to enjoy her grandkids' presence

Her sons silent but impactful presence

Tables however turned
Sides switched
We did have a party yes
But in her absence of physical form
But of a powerful , strong spiritual presence
We did have a gathering
One of a kind
A movie of 2 weeks was shot

Mathabo Rebecca Booi was the host
And yeah her house after a long time
Was filled with multitudes of visitors
Once your room became a utility room
Once your kitchen became the catering area
Once your sitting room became the resting place
Once your quiet sitting area
Was turned into a gathering space

Thank you for gracing us with your beautiful presence
Memories
We miss you
Yes
But we are proud of what your life meant for us
