Sommige weke is net moeiliker as ander. Hierdie was so een.<\/p>\n

Ek leer<\/strong> weer: daar\u2019s \u2019n ragfyn draad tussen vreugde en hartseer, lewe en dood.<\/p>\n

Die nuus van \u2019n oud-kollega, later my baas en oor-die-jare-vriendin se skielike dood na \u2019n kort kankerstryd<\/strong> vang my onkant. Ek het geweet haar tyd is min. Sy ook. Maar die vroegoggend-sms wat s\u00ea sy\u2019s weg laat my steier. Ek gaan sit plat op die vloer, haardro\u00ebr in die hand, en staar in die spie\u00ebl. Dis verby. \u201cSy\u2019s weg,\u201d s\u00ea ek hardop vir die vrou. So asof ek hoop dat sy, die een met die nat hare, dit sal glo.<\/p>\n

Hoe nou?<\/p>\n

Wat maak ek met jou nommer op my foon? Hou dit? Vee dit uit? Bel dalk om te kyk of jy nie tog nog een keer wil optel en my nooi vir daardie koffie waarvoor nie een van ons ooit tyd gehad het nie? Kom ons probeer net een keer weer. Toe?<\/p>\n

Die ma in my<\/strong> praat die warboel in \u2019n ander rigting stil: \u00a0\u2019n ma kies nie om haar kind te los nie. Nooit. Die lewe doen. En die dood. As sy kon sou sy die jong vrou wat nou alleen agterbly vir ewig naby hou. Soos kleintyd in die besige koerantkantoor, toe daar elke middag twee boksterte agter die lessenaar uitgeloer het.<\/p>\n

“Hier, waar ek jou kan sien,\u201d hoor ek die moeder praat.<\/p>\n

Dis die volgende aand, by David Kramer se verwerking van Willy Russell se musiekblyspel Blood Brothers<\/em>. En daar\u2019s dit weer, die storie van \u2019n ma wat nie self kies om haar kind te los nie. Want as hierdie desperate moeder anders kon het sy nie een van haar tweelingseuns vir \u2019n ander gegee om groot te maak nie. Die lewe het gekies<\/strong>. En later ook die dood.<\/p>\n

Terug by die huis vra ek my agtjarige: \u201cWaar bly Mamma?\u201d Die geoefende antwoord: \u201cIn my hartjie.\u201d Gang-af kry ek die vyfjarige: \u201cWaar bly Mamma?\u201d Sy sug, lig die hand, vermakerig-verveeld: \u201cMos in my hartjie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liewe Kinders, glo dit maar: Mamma bly in julle hartjies. D\u00e1\u00e1r kan julle haar kry. Elke dag. Glo ek. Troos ek. L\u00e9\u00e9f ek.<\/p>\n

En jy liewe grootmenskind: kyk mooi, sy\u2019s d\u00e1\u00e1r. Haar spore diep getrap.<\/p>\n

Sommige weke is net moeiliker as ander. Ek leer weer: \u2019n ma kies nie om haar kind te los nie. Die lewe doen. En soms, ja soms, ook die dood.<\/p>\n

Tot volgende week,<\/p>\n
