world, hold on!!!
World Hold On!!! I spent my Sunday feeling sorry for myself. I must say though, that I don't have R3.00 in my account anymore. Some money checked in from a friend that cares. (that means MORE DEBT). Anyway, I was feeling sorry for myself coz
- my boyfriend is going to Cape Town for a month and might move there if his modelling career calls him to do so :( That means a somewhat long distance relationship and being the clinger that I am I wont be able to cope.
- work was awful last week... the idiot I report to can't manage his own issues, both personal and professional. So I guess that tells you enough about his management skills. The best way to describe him is "pmsing biyatch".
- went out on Thursday night and ailed a bit OTT, I was hanging for two days str8.
We were trying to decide whether to use the William Nicol route or the Jan Smuts route to get home. For some reason my sister said we should take the Jan Smuts route. As we drove down Jan Smuts and approached Bompas Rd we saw a woman, probably in her forties with a little girl by her side. This was at 9.34pm which is such a dangerous time to be trying to get transport. So we stopped for them and they asked us for a ride. We dont normally stop for randos but for some other reason we made an exception.
As we drove down Bompas, the woman, burst into a flood of tears. She said her name was Jennifer, can't remember the daughters name though. Anyway, she was so overwhelmed and explained her situation to us. She had been kicked out by her drunk landlady because she had failed to pay her rent in full. She is a house helper and earns her monthly living by working as a maid for an Australian woman. The lady she works for is in Australia for some weeks and only paid her R1000 for the month. Her rent is R1500 and she was short of R500. It was so heartbreaking to hear her story. Her daughter just sat there, a very strong young lady aged 12. As Jennifer cried about her single mother issues, my sister and I felt so heartbroken and could not just drop her and her daughter without helping them. She wanted us to drop her in Melrose Arch so she could go beg or R500. After driving around disucssing her options we decided to give her the money. She was so grateful and would not stop crying and praying and thanking us! She is an aspiring musician and I believe life is gonna give her a chance. Life is gonna give me a chance. Life is gonna give us a chance.
World Hold On!!!
