No matter how big your storms are there will always be sunshine

It started all on the 05/08/1989 when my mother gave birth to me and I was born  in Mitchell's Plain, Lentegeur day clinic at 2:20. We then stayed in Mitchell's Plain until I was 6 years old then we moved to my mother's birth place, Prince Albert in the Karoo that's where the story of my life started.

In 1996 I went to school at Prince Albert Primary. I got diplomas from grade 1 up to grade 7. I then decided to go to Bridgton Senior Secondary school in Oudtshoorn for standard 7. I had a good year there, but missed home to much, so I decide to finish the year there and then went back to Prince Albert. I then went to school at Zwartberg High. In standard 9, we went to Cape Town for a weekend with the school, we then visited Robben Island, Table mountain and the Holocaust museum. It was a good experience for me and I finished matric in 2007 at Zwartberg High that was the happiest day of my life because everything worked out just the way I wanted it to be. I was so nervous about the end exams but finally did good and just a week after I finished with my exams my grandmother suddenly passed away and that was the saddest part for our family because she was the pillar in the family. In 2009 I felt pregnant and I was very excited about my child that is growing in me and I wished that it would be a boy, but then on the 22 November 2009 at 1:10 I gave birth to a beautiful 7 month old girl. On 3 months my daughter, Zonay got very sick and the doctors didn't know what was wrong with her. Six months later they found out that she had a heart problem and on 8 months they operated her at Red Cross Hospital and the saddest part of all I turned 21 on the day she was operated. That was not the end of the world for as long as my daughter get out of the theatre alive and healthy. Today she is the most precious thing that happened in  my life and I love her so much.

In 2013 I started to look after my grandfather before he was diagnosed with cancer. I enjoyed it a lot to stay with him, he teached me a lot of things that I don't know. Then cancer spread all over his body and that was the worst time of my life. I always ask myself how can a strong person like him get sick and so sick that he cant do anything for himself, so myself and my sister was doing everything for him. He got worst very fast and died after 5 months suffering of pain. I miss him so much and if it wasn't for him that forced me to come to Chrysalis then I wouldn't be here today. And that is the story of my life and don't tell your god how big your storms are, tell your storms how big your GOD is.
