Generations Part One

By -
For this family  the year 1944 is very special.There  was a birth and a death. Daphne Christina was born and Christina Diana had passed on.This story is the celebration of four lives connected.

Part One

In 1820 a ship docked in Table Bay harbour in Cape Town.on this ship there were slaves brought over from Java and Malaysia.On the many months on the sea many were ill, many died and those who survived were sold as slaves who went to work on the farms and in and around Cape Town.One of them found herself in service on a farm of the Sampson farm  on the West Coast of the Cape.After a few years a baby girl was born to her and just a year or two before that the farmer's wife had a son.These two played together all their young lives and the low and behold they fell in love. The trouble started! They had to escape. The two travelled all the way to Paarl where totally in love, they married and stated a family.In 1860 a baby girl was born. They named her Christina Diana.

Part two will follow!

My RLabs Mom's Journey

Hi all, I am Salma Richards,a parent with 3 adult children. I am told I am a chatterbox,empathetic and determined{just a bit slower}. My interests are reading,gardening,home crafts and the outdoors.It took an accident that happened 16 years ago to make me realize that the choices we make will determine the quality of life we will lead.It was, and is a long, hard road to get to where I am today. Imagine,having to learn to write,walk,remember,eat,cook,dress and just about everything we teach a toddler to do, well it took me 16 long,trying and very difficult years to become the person I am today! I have now realized it's my Creators mercy at giving me a real second chance at life .I now try not to offend  people and also to be more tolerant because my family and friends had the patience to guide and teach me simple things that you would take for granted.Thank you once again to RLabs facilitators and all who in the past and present taught,helped and guided me.MWAH.

Good afternoon world on a lighter note,on wednesday we took our seniors around the peninsula.Our first stop was Sea Point opposite the SABC offices. Where our seniors enjoyed a snack.thereafter we went to Hout Bay where they stretched a bit.Some of our seniors interacted with the coons.Our aunty Ellen,Vicky Jonck and Freda Davids enjoyed dancing with the coons.We then went back to Maidens Cove where we served them lunch.After lunch we served them fruit and some doughnuts and juice.We then boarded the busses at 3.05 and was taken on the beach road for some more sightseeing.when we got back to the centre,our seniors were all handed a gift before they went to their respective homes.What an awesome experience.
