I was with Keren the day Reece was born! Keren knew he was coming but no Doctor to be seen at Stellenbosch hospital. My memory was of Keren shouting full throttle: “he is coming” the nurse running around telling her she has to wait!!! And come he did…. Keren can confirm but sure the Doctor had not yet arrived. What I remember is Keren saying… Shell he is so beautiful! My other memory was of Reece coming to visit me at the age of approx 10, it was a treat staying in Cape Town without the other kids!! I decided to take him to movies at the Blue Route shopping center. We parked, and on getting out Reece tripped over a ledge in the car park. Breaking the bone in his arm, clean break. The arm was hanging at 90 degree angle. I was freaked out and trying to stay calm and get him to hospital!!! Reece kept saying, don’t worry Aunty Shelley I’m ok!! He was mortified at the fuss and missing out on movies. No drama at all, he took it in his stride!! Silly story,amazing the things we remember… what a sweet sweet child he was. Thinking of you all today. Very very very hard Love you Shelley
