Insert 85 As I was drifting to sleep,I was replaying all the memories I had with my loving mother inlaw,That woman didnt only see me as her sons wife but as a daughter to them,she loved me like her own child. She was everything to Sam and John..I was really sad,I finaly fell asleep ndavuka ekuseni uSam edlala no Samantha esofeni.. Me;Morning! Sam;morning baby,how are you doing? Me;I dont know,you? Sam;heart broken baby me;I know its hard Sam;dad didnt even tell us ukuba kwenzeke ntoni me;maybe he will tell us when hes ready Sam;I guess he will me;so uthe why ungangeni emsebenzini? Sam;I told them ukuba andikho right love I jumped out of bed and went to wash my hands,face and brushed my teeth. Me;Lets go down ndizokwenzela ibreakfast Sam;No baby Im not hungry me;I know but you need to have something in your stomach He refused but kemna I didnt take NO for an answer..I made breakfast for everyone ndabiza wonke umntu to the dining room except for Sams dad..yena eyakhe ibreakfast ndamsela eroomin yakhe ndafika ndahlala phezu kwe bed next to him. Me;I know this is a very difficult time for you and I want you to know that Im here to help with anything Father inlaw;thank you baby me;uhm dad? Father inlaw;yes? Me;what was the cause of mas death? Father inlaw;she had cancer me;since when? Father inlaw;she always had it,at first it was cured but it resurfaced after 5 years..we always knew that she was gonna die this year or next year me;it mustve been difficult Father inlaw;we made it easy though,we lived a happy lifestyle and now that shes gone I dont think I will ever be happy again. I thought of how my dad was down when my mother passed away,I knew ukuba my father inlaw would be incomplete now that his other half was no more.. Me;You must stay with us until the day of the funeral Father inlaw;she will be buried this saturday me;uhm,dad? Father inlaw;yes? Me;why didnt you tell us sooner Father inlaw;we didnt want to bother you with this me;but we are family Father inlaw;we were protecting you baby,we figured if you two knew about your mothers illness it would affect your lives me;okay,please eat your food Father inlaw;thank you I smiled,he smiled back at me ndaphuma..I went back to the dining room,Sam was struggling to eat..I fed Samantha nam ndatya and cleared the table ndayofaka izitya in a dish washer and came back for Samantha..Sam had burried his head on a table. Ndathatha umntana and went to bath her ndamnxibisa then I took her toys out ndambekela phambi kwakhe ukuba adlale ndaya kutata wakhe. Me;Im here for you,talk to me Sam;I was just thinking of how she lived her life me;she was one beauty queen Sam;she lived her life to the fullest,she loved me like her own dudu me;because in her heart you were her son Sam;I will always remember her me;uhm Sam? Sam;baby? Me;Your father kinda told me what caused her death Sam;and? Me;your mother was living with cancer Sam;what type of cancer? Me;well,I didnt ask Sam;She didnt seem like someone who knew her destiny nje,she was a happy soul me;exactly Death is one thing we can never get used to..no one can ever say death doesnt make me sad anymore even mna ndisothuka when I hear indaba ezibuhlungu kanje. My phone rang,it was Sandra..I ignored it Sam;pick it up baby me;no ngu Sandra Sam;oh me;lets go upstairs you need to rest Sam;I need to take a walk me;okay yima ndiyonxiba Sam;no I want to be alone me;but you need me Sam;please baby,I need to think I backed off ke nam...He went to change into sport clothes waphuma..I was worried about him, his father walked in Father inlaw;where is Sam? Me;Out for a walk Father inlaw;good choice me;he didnt even want me to go with him Father inlaw;he probably needs time alone me;he said that Father inlaw;Im going out,I need to start with the arrangements and make some calls me;can I come with you? Father inlaw;no,Sam needs you more than I do me;he doesnt talk to me father inlaw;hes always been like that..when he is silent just hold his hand,the rest will follow me;thank you dad He smiled and left..My husband is not good with words oko ndadibana naye wayevele athule qha...I faced my difficulties with him and he was always there for me..now it was my turn to be there for him. Days passed,I was there for my husband and his father..it was now saturday morning,the day of a funeral..Sams colleagues were there,my colleagues were there and the colleagues of Tshidi no John were there too. I have never seen umngcwabo ogcwele kanjeya onesdima kanjeya..abantu abazana with my inlaws zazibonakala ngo black and white..The cars were beautiful let alone her coffin,it was like its been specialy designed for her. The funeral service was a success,it was huge...Everyone had left late but close friends stayed over,we were at the Smiths house kengoku in our bedroom because sasidikwe yilento yokujongwa kalusizi ngabantu. Sam;did you see that man who knew me as a boy from next door? Truth always pops out!
