Death...
Rest in Peace Hendrik Van Heerden... 5 July 2012
You know when death comes it sometimes comes sudden and swift.... I never thought that Oom Hendrik would die so young and Sudden...
"Although we didn't understand him well..." His sister put it this way ... He was a happier and better person since was married to my mom. My mom loved him and he loved her and that is all that is important.... The shock of him dying in the middle of the night so sudden still feels unreal.... He was taken so sudden and I can not imagine what went through my mom's mind when she tried to wake him only to found that he was already slipping away.. She watched him die in her arms....
She says she can not sleep in the room or bed where it happened.... I can not blame her to have someone you loved so much die in your arms with no one to help or assist you....
I told my mom today that the past two weeks feel like a blur....
I know now he is in Heaven awaiting her to come and join him one day..…
