Captain, Thato, Peter, Jess and late kamo😔why did I leave i Vaal “money over happiness”, “money over peace of mind “ Dreams over family time “ “fantasy love over unfiltered love “ “Money over family “ “Dreams over knowledge “ dear God family I miss. Listen as my heart narrates

In the quiet hours of night,
When the world sleeps, still and slight,
Memories weave through my mind's gentle mist, Of the family I deeply, achingly miss.
Laughter echoed in warm, sunlit halls,
Whispers of stories, love's gentle calls,
Faces now distant, time's cruel twist,
Oh, the family I miss, the family I miss.

Shared meals around a table, so grand,
Hands held together, a unified band,
In each other's presence, pure, simple bliss,
Gone now, but treasured, the family I miss.
Covid passed with joy and cheer,
Each moment, each smile, held dear,
Now only in dreams, do I find this,
The echoing love of the family I miss.

Distance and time may stand in our way,
Yet love's true bond will never sway,
For in my heart's core, you eternally exist,
My cherished family, whom I deeply miss.
Until the day we meet once more,
And share the love we had before,
I’ll hold you close, in a silent kiss,
My beloved family, forever I miss.
