You never know the reason someone comes into your life and what an impact it will have in later years.
About 7 years ago I met a family at a bear fair. They were a Mom, Dad small daughter and baby son. What impressed me so was that they had travelled from far to get to be fair, and the whole day , whilst Mom did her thing selling her bears, Dad took the little girl outside to the swings and looked after the baby who was in his pram. When the fair was over, I never thought I would meet up with them again, as I had admired this family from afar and not realy got the chance to talk to them.
When I bought over a bear shop, I was given this lady's name and number and contacted her to tell that I would now be able to supply her with bear goodies if she so wished.
As the years progressed, we met at bear fairs and workshops and our friendship grew. It grew to such an extent that her 2 children were bridesmaid and page boy at Monique's wedding last September.
When we once visited her at home, we fell in love with the area she stayed in and as a result find ourselves moving down there within the next week.
A few weeks ago we went down to check up on the new house and had to go for tea before the long drive home or else! As I was leaving she mentioned that her domestic could clean the hosue for me before I got there if I so wanted. Well besides that she has had the domestic there for 2 days cleaning cupboards and windows and anything that can be cleaned, found the elcetricity card and purchased electricity for me, and had the garden boy clean the garden, and returned the keys to the estate agent.
When the furniture goes down on Wednesday, she has assured me that she will call in with home made soup and fresh home made bread for lunch, so I am to bring nothing with me.
Now you know why angels are put on this earth in the form of people like Helena and her family.
Baie dankie Helena en Kockie - ek hoop ons word oud saam - jy op jou stoep en ek op myne.
You are real angels!
