MY JAZZY MOM!

MY JAZZY MOM!

In the Beginning of my Life there was THANDI, my Biological Mother! And later on entered DELTA thereafter THANDAZO: Both were my Successive Mothers-In-Law.

I am Lucky and Blessed beyond measure for the opportunity to have had Mothers who Really Loved Me. God thru these Great Women; locked me up inside the Triangle of His Love.

Thandazo also Late Now, was kind of Jazzy and Laidback but very engaging in every sense of the word. Meeting her for the very first time was jittery and somewhat cumbersome since I had no idea just how she'd receive me.

Her great smile and bulging eyes warming up to my face, turned and changed our neutral atmosphere from sort of here and there: right into Homecoming Embrace from a Loving Mother!

I was Hooked Up and our Hearts Interlocked into a True Mother-Son fellowship.

To my Jazzy Mom, I was a Jack of all trades, she always believed I could fix just about anything in her house at a drop of a hat. Sydney please; when you’re ready: would you please take a look at this broken heater, this door or this aqueous light display?

I guess she believed in me because my maintenance skills were more than 90% successful. I just miss helping and making her happy; just to be rewarded with her gracious smile and a Hearty Thank You!

O’ Kid, did I tell you that my Jazzy Mom was the best Cook ever there was in my Entire Life. The woman would just take a piece of meat, add salt and one spice and then: Wow, what a Delicious Meal.

My Jazzy Mom had the Magic Touch when it comes to the Kitchen: she was just not gifted but, anointed for cooking! I miss her incredible and Simple Mouth-Watering Dishes. Jazzy Mom for Jazzy Tastes!

Missed the days when we argued about different types of Coca-Cola… Hahaha!

Loving Memories for our Dearly Departed are Tears of Mourning cried backwards as we desperately flip all the Pages Past: looking and search for Smiles, Laughs and Footpaths shared with Late Loved Ones!

This is the Only Remedy available for our Broken Hearts to find Momentary Relief, while our Mourning marches along to our very Graves!

Mourning for our Departed Lasts a Lifetime since Only the Grave has the Power to set us free from this Spiritual Chronic Ailment. God never created and intended for man to Mourn, hence none of all the Herbs He gave to Adam have any Power to Relieve this Painful Loss.

Even though my Jazzy Mom has been gone from these Earthly shores a Few Years Now: I can still watch all the Replays of Our Life together in the back of my mind. My heart cannot forget all her Smiles, Laughs, Hugs, Kisses and Sense of Humour which always welcomed me; every time I visited her!

While most people are frightened by the very sight of the Grave: nah, to me it's just an Intermission for my Jazzy Mom which says to me: Excuse Me my Son, I'm still Taking a Deserved Break from my Exhausting 74 years of Earthly Toils! Let's Meet in the Morning.

Farewell Jazzy Mom, your Day on Earth is Done. Your Beautiful Face is Forever Anchored as the Icon of my heart…. I Miss You Dearly. Rest in Peace and in Power My Jazzy Mom! 

Indeed, Joy Comes in the Morning!
