Gareth,
thank you so much for your amazing voice message.
One of the things that is for me so important in your message, is the huge success that your boy has achieved at Reddam.
So good to have an inspiration from a teacher who cares and who knows, there may even be some transmitted inspiration from you in spite of what his mother has done and is doing.
You must be so proud of his academic achievement.
Hopefully you will have an opportunity to teach him some of the basic truths of life still.
I will continue to connect with you and visit Tammy to keep track of developments.
You are such an incredibly brave person and maybe Leo Benning and Tony your swimming coach, were right and it is that instinct that came through in the military and now while going through this endless ordeal.
I am sure that we can sit together soon and just communicate our feelings in words and sometimes in silence at what the world has given you to endure. You are an inspiration in persistance and inordinate patience.
I hope I am an inspiration to many of the kids that I have taught and continue to teach. I try to have faith even in those who have not responded or who are part of the Rhodes/Feesmustfall group of young, inexperienced, Old Boys who have yet to endure and suffer and live some experiences.
They have not. To you, all the best for a speedy outcome in your favour and as they say in Afrikaans - 'Hou die blink kant bo.' Look to the good and the positive however tough it may seem as there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel which is the continuation of your next phase in freedom.
Take care.
Much love.
Geoff
