SARS Letter instructing us to have 6 specialists vouch Disability of A & M (ITR-DD Form) |
Me again trying to explain our situation |
Affidavid stating that A & M are what they are |
It is a wondrous thing that if you manage a small thing like a silent smile at me, unfocused eyes trying so hard to see me... a haphazard touch by your hand, planted somewhere on my body when we play wrestle on the floor. I feel your life, your significance, your purpose. I become happiness, I become healed. I understand my purpose... you are my gift...
Mountain Bike Accident. Tuesday 11 February 2020
Please
please please be okay! For you, your
parents, wife, children. Oh God, spare him, please!
What
an incredibly fearful moment it was at around 15:45 on that Tuesday afternoon, witnessing
a strong young man crash-land his mountain bike coming over a ramp (the ramp he
built himself, which he had probably jumped many times before!). I was facing
the ramp just after jumping it myself (very carefully, I might add), when
I saw a man approaching and then – at great speed and height – entering the
ramp, jumping with ease, but then crash-landing, hitting the ground with his
head and left shoulder first, the impact let him bounce back onto his right
side. His head was bent into his chest as he lay in a bundle on the ground. I
dropped my bike and ran as fast as I could to anchor his body between my legs because
I was convinced he had broken his neck and had to be kept from moving.
There
was a strange rattling sound in his throat and his eyes were glazed over; he
was twitching, just a rolled-up bundle of man. He was unconscious for 5 to 6
minutes. I prayed and cried, asking how this could be happening to a man riding
and jumping the ramp with such vigour and self-confidence?
My
pleading with God for Andrew in that moment came from my years of caring for my
own two disabled adult children. I did not want that for Andrew or for all the
people who loved him. I did not want this healthy life to change forever right
before my eyes!
