Family threads

 I wrote a great deal, over the years , about our family. Of course I did. Who would not have. The long pause has created a space where they have each been suspended in time , as they were when I stopped writing. I want to write a little about what each is up to at present and also what their journey to this point was. 

These are broad brushstrokes of a mother  and from a mothers perspective and are in now way the full story. That story belongs to them.  

James is 25 years old and is finishing up his masters in engineering at UCT. This is his marvelous girl friend Toni.  They are super sweet together and really bring out the best in one another. 

Sam, below is finishing off his degree at Film school - AFDA. He is flourishing and blooming in all things film and sound. A world of this art is opening up to us all.  

Thomas and Jethro below. Tom is 24 and Jet is 19. Thomas is finishing off his honours year at Michaelis school of fine art at UCT. He no longer lives at home and we love that he is flying but miss him deeply. 

Jethro is at UCT in his first your of computer business studies. He completed his high school at the marvelous and wonderful Cedar House and Jet has an extraordinary group of wonderful friends. We are all richer for having them in our lives.

The path that these young people are on is rich and diverse and full. My mom heart is truly delighted by each on and they joy that is unfolding as they live.
