Not been able to blog for a month because I got bogged down by it all. Was woken up this morning by a phone call from my mum, and like my entire family, she is still grieving the loss of her brother, my uncle and how the media turned it into a circus. My family hurts and I feel helpless...I wish I could stop the pain but everything I have tried, hasn't been good enough. So we will grieve...and it too shall pass.It never ceases to amaze me that the loss of a loved one always takes everything, emotion, time and money. Today I laughed...well not really, when i realized that my work place had penalized me over a triviality and had deducted over 200k off my salary and quick on the heels of that, the news of death, quickly followed by spending and more spending in futile efforts to control media damage, to travel and facilitate others travel and of course, up-keep.
