In Memory of Pieter Kraan Jeftha

On the day of you burial i made a promised and said; your legacy will live on...

I dont know any person who is excited about their birthday aside from the way u were... 1st of January New Years day was your bday. You made me excited about your bday as well. What a special man you were. You may not be here but it doesnt mean we should not celebrate your memory and your life.
The way i know you there is probably already a party in heaven. Angels baked some cakes and the excitement is running high.
This day was always special to me... Since my first memory New Year's day is dad's bday and u made sure everyone knew it, as did i... And my kids learned to aswell..
I miss those days.. It's hard.. My eyes are full of tears.. What is New Years day without ur bday...
The sadness is relentless.... Luckily i learned to smile through my pain. But nothing can ease the pain...
Remembering you is easy... Missing u is the heartache that never goes away...

Happy birthday Pieter Andreas "Kraan" Jeftha
Happy New Year to all my loved ones.

Especially days when life seem unfair

Dae soos vandag so ek my pa bel of in die kar klim en gery het om net n bietjie te gesels.

My oupa het n bees kraal gehad en aan die onderkant was n hek net voor die bospad stombol toe... Ek was 5 toe ek skool toe gaan my ouers het in Bloemfontein gebly en ek moes in Goesa by ouma opie plaas(Tsitsikamma) gaan bly vir skool gaan.
Wanneer ek my pa verlang het, ek altyd by die hekkie gaan sit en kyk of hy nie dalk uit die bos sal aangestap kom nie. Ekt baie convos met hom daar op my eie by daai hek gehad. Wens ek kon nou by daai hek staan en daai conversations met hom het. Dit was die beste gevoel as ek hom aangestap sien kom die tye wanneer hy kom kuier het. Ekt gehardloop en in sy arms gespring. Daai hele paar dae het ek hom soos n skaduwee gevolg.
Vandag voel dit of ek hom weer van oor af verloor.

Days like these i know he would have been proud. I miss my dadzo

I miss you.. Happy father's day in Heaven Dadzo. You will always be in my heart.

I miss u old man. One year anniversary. Its Gonna get better. Tears flood my face thinking of your passing.
But ima keep showing up!!

Day 361...This Friday 21 May 2021 will mark one year of your passing. You are still so fresh in my memory. Ek koester die herinneringe in my hart. I miss ur voice. Your laughter.. just every thing.

Such an emotional roller-coaster with the passing of you and your siblings. Its almost a year and I cant imagine myself to deal with the pain of you not being here anymore. Visiting Stormsriver is not a happy place and feeling anymore, miss you so much. Loving you always

I love you always...
Julle gesels seker nou baie lekker daar om die kampvuur. Ons mis julle... Maar ons weet julle rus in vrede my Pa Pieter, Boetie Johnny, Ma Sarah, Aunty Mack, Boetie Hennie, Oupa Dreas, Dedde Piet en al die ander wat ons vooruit gegaan het.

Dad you are greatly missed today

You been on my mind

Storms river will never be the same for me ever again. It was those visits for me.
It was the bragging to my friends about who my dad is.
It was your story telling
It was the drive to see you
It was introducing new people to my dad
It was letting everyone see the first man who stole my heart.
It was showing people that i am your daughter...
I was so proud taking that drive into the village
Now its only tears.
My heart breaks thinking about it.
I dont know how i will gather the strength to drive in those streets knowing u are not there.
In a world where Heros come and go
And God just took the only one i know.
RIP my Hero, my Legend, my story teller... My love..

Day 153.
Still feel so unreal. Like i can pick up the phone and call u.
RIP my legendary Father.
Just one of them days. That a girl without a dad goes through.

Someone asked my now where u are amd i started crying Daddy... Now it hurts again.
