Phaks, it’s so sad to write this to you in your absence. Never have I thought this day would come. If I knew you will not be around this time, I would have loved you more, spent some time with you more, went to your desk more, laughed at your silly jokes more, listened to your stories more……..but you just left, just like that!!!!! I’m only left with memories and lessons your life has taught me. Thank you so much for your kindness, love, gentleness, stories. I will miss you so so much. I was so angry that you didn’t fight Phakamani, angry at myself that I might have failed you, I should have done more than I did. Your death was not in vain. You’ve reminded me that life is too short. That I must not sweat the small stuff, that I must know what’s important and what is really not. Ulale ngoxolo mhlobo wam. You will be missed
