Abantu abaningi bayakwesaba ukufa, kepha-ke kufanele kube lusizi kakhulu ukuchitha iminyaka engama-20, 30, 40 noma 50 nomuntu eceleni kwakho vuka ngolunye usuku uthole ukuthi ngeke esaba seceleni kwakho futhi. Lesi simo sithusa abantu abaningi, ngaphezu kokufa kwaso.
Lapho ubhekene nobuhlungu obukhulu, okuwukuphela kwendlela yokubhekana nakho ukuqhubeka nokuqhubekela phambili. Akunakusiza ukulala embhedeni ukukhala usuku nosuku, udinga ukuqhubeka nempilo.
Ngikushiya nobufakazi bomuntu omdala osifundisa umbono wakhe othile mayelana indlela yokubhekana nobuhlungu:
«Kulungile, nansi imibono yami. Sengimdala. Lokhu kusho ukuthi Ngisindile (kuze kube manje) ngokulahleka kwabantu abaningi engibaziyo nengibathandayo.

Anginazo izingane futhi angikwazi nokucabanga ngobuhlungu okufanele buzwe lapho kushonelwa ingane, kodwa lapha Ngikushiya namasenti ami amabili.
Ngifisa sengathi bengingathi ukujwayela ukubona abantu befa. Kepha akunjalo. Akekho umuntu ongajwayela into ebuhlungu njengokufa. Kuvela imbobo enhliziyweni yami njalo lapho kufa umuntu engimthandayo. Izibazi zami zingubufakazi bothando nobudlelwano enganginabo nalowo muntu. Uma isibazi sijule kakhulu, kungenxa yokuthi umthande kakhulu lowo muntu.
Izibazi zingubufakazi bempilo ubufakazi bokuthi ngingamthanda ngokujulile umuntu nokuthi ngingalapha ukulahlekelwa kwakhe, ngiqhubeke ngiphile futhi ngiqhubeke ngithanda ... futhi izicubu ezibomvu zinamandla kunezicubu zokuqala.
Ngokuqondene nesijeziso ... kufana amagagasi. Lapho umkhumbi uphahlazeka, ucwilisa imfucumfucu ezungeze wena. Yonke into entanta eduze kwakho ikukhumbuza ngobuhle lowo mkhumbi owawukhona futhi awusekho. Ukuphela kwento ongayenza ukuntanta. Uthola imfucumfucu bese uyibamba isikhashana. Mhlawumbe yinto ethile ebonakalayo, mhlawumbe inkumbulo enhle noma isithombe ... mhlawumbe ngumuntu obuye entanta. Okwesikhashana ongakwenza nje ukuntanta ... hlala uphila.
Ekuqaleni amagagasi aphakeme ngamamitha angama-20 bese ewela kuwe ngokungenasihawu. Ziza njalo ngemizuzwana engu-10 futhi Azikuniki ngisho nesikhathi sokubamba umoya. Ukuphela kwento ongayenza ukulengisa bese untanta. Ngemuva kwesikhashana, mhlawumbe amasonto, mhlawumbe izinyanga, uthola ukuthi amagagasi asengamamitha angama-20 ubude kepha aya ngokuya ehlukaniswa. Zisaqhubeka nokukushaya kodwa ungaqhubeka uphefumule.
Ngeke wazi ukuthi yini ezodala ubuhlungu. Kungaba yingoma, isithombe, impambana mgwaqo, iphunga lenkomishi yekhofi. Kungaba yinoma yini ... futhi igagasi likushayisa. Kepha phakathi kwamagagasi kukhona impilo.
Ngesinye isikhathi uzothola ukuthi amagagasi angamamitha ayi-10 noma ama-5 kuphela ukuphakama futhi yize eqhubeka eza, ayawenza ahlukaniswe ngokwengeziwe. Uyababona beza.

Kodwa-ke, uyazi ukuthi uzosinda ekuhlaselweni kwabo.
Amanye amagagasi azofika futhi uzophila futhi. Uma unenhlanhla, uzoba nezibazi eziningi eziwumkhiqizo wezithandwa eziningi ... kanye nokuphahlazeka okuningi kwemikhumbi. "
