A short announcement

I just wanted to let you know that Mma passed away last Sunday evening and we buried her a week later this Saturday. We held the funeral service at home in Phokeng.

Her passing was unexpected for me, because even though she was sick for a long time, I thought we would manage her chronic conditions for many more years to come.

I'm not sure what my next step will be. But it will involve lots of gardening and writing.

Looks like we're going to eat artichokes from the garden this year
 .
BTW, the garden is still doing very well. Still being planted up and providing for us. I just didn't have the words to bring you updates.

    Good to see you back here, Damaria. I guess you have some decisions to make about your future now that you have lost your Mma. What a wonderful person she seemed to be!

      You are so right, Nanna Chel. Thankfully, I don't have to rush the decisions.

    So sorry for your loss, Damaria. It's hard to lose those we love. I was glad to see your blog pop up in my email and look forward to reading about your garden.
