Ons praat maklik van ons tyd op aarde wat min is en waardeer moet word. Terselfdertyd hardloop ons rond, skarrel om alles gedoen te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons ry onlangs deur ons dorp en in die verbygaan ry ons verby drie groot ongelukke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die volgende oggend vertrek ons vroeg per motor vanaf die huis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons dogter kuier vanaf \u2019n nabygele\u00eb dorp en wil op \u2019n ander dorp \u2019n trourok gaan aanpas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almal is opgewonde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By \u2019n verkeerslig in die hoofstraat wag ons geduldig. Die pad is stil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek trek my skoene uit en skuif my waterbottel nader aan my \u2013 gereed vir die lang pad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die volgende oomblik is daar \u2019n harde slag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit neem ons \u2019n oomblik om te besef dat \u2019n motoris in \u2019n groot bakkie van agter in ons vasgery het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het ons glad nie gesien nie en geen poging aangewend om die ongeluk te vermy nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die motordeur waar ek sit, wil nie oop nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit voel of ek nie asem kry nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paniekerig kruip ek oor die sitplek en klouter by die ander deur uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geskok loop ek kaalvoet tussendeur die glasstukkies wat oor die teerpad gesaai l\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ons dogter se voertuig het onherstelbare skade. Ons, daarenteen, het \u2019n paar blou kolle en seer lywe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die trourok gaan op \u2019n ander dag aangepas word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moenie uitstel om diegene na aan jou hart te koester nie. Tyd is kosbaar. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
