Can't wait to see 'my kids' again |
I've always said that the Netherlands is my home country and that I have several places in this world that I call home. 'Home is where the heart is' could be a phrase for my memoire; I've been blessed to be able to travel around and meet people who have become friends and some whom I even consider as my family. I'm about to return to one of the places that I call home: Cape Town.
I lived
in Cape Town for about nine months in 2008. I was there for an internship for my Social
Work study. I went there to do research and fulfill a course task
for my studies, but never did I expected to gain so much from this journey. I
was overwhelmed by the beauty of the country and its people.

Now,
after four years, it is the right time for me to return. A lot has happened in
my life since I said farewell to my Cape Tonian family and I didn't want this
to intervene with the fond memories that I have of my South African home. Now I
feel that it is the perfect timing for me to reunite with the people who I love
so dearly.

As I
have difficulties of letting things go, letting my -now former- work go has
been weighing on my heart, it is a good thing that I will get some closer by
going to South Africa. I'm about to leave to the airport and I cannot wait to
see all 'my kids' and family again.

Seriously can't wait to share many more special moments with them |
Enjoy
your summer… I'll keep you posted from my beloved Kaapstad.
Love,
