Hi
FOR DENESE
I asked him where he was going, for you, his answer I�ll record
First he told me that he was a blessing, his parents great reward
He said that he has so much to learn, to set his soul and spirit free
For children are golden possessions, to give family joys eternally
He came not only to be taught and obey, but to teach triumphantly
Told me to come play in his garden, try to climb to the top of his
tree
Nothing, he said, will stop the world or keep it from spinning around
Though judgments may be clouded, by perspective, speed and sound
Even to people who try and spoil all your dreams, time must be found
Tell them to roam beside you, so they won�t be left in the background
He said he had chosen his path, and all his companions along the way
That he sees different places, has other friends and many games to
play
And if he finds himself flat on his face, if some plans have gone
astray
He picks himself up and rejoins the race, finding silver linings every
day
For nobody can deny that this is the real story of life, in meaning
and habit
Thus in his heart he cannot understand, he knows that you lose if you
quit
Though you may query reason, it could take years to see why all pieces
fit
So we all have to plan and invest and spend time, in order to gain a
benefit
He said, that throughout time life has been for learning, it is always
the same
We all do similar things, just some rules are different in each
person�s game
This sometimes confuses the players, but there is nobody ever to take
blame
For just as love is so different to us all, what you call things is
only a name
I sensed that he was special in every sphere, and he knew why he was
there
As it was planned very long ago with the utmost diligence, thought and
care
For every action there is a reason, the good Lord knows and answers
prayers
So look out and take note of his happiness, how easy his pleasure is
to share

Wow but time flies. Who will we be seeing at the WS weekend in Potch end of
October?
Henry is already counting the days till end October. He was so glad when
September started because it meant the beginning of spring and the next
month is October.
He is also looking forward to seeing all his friends again - especially
Marco and Johan. The other sources of excitement : A promised trip on the
Gautrain, flying to Jo'burg and the expectation of seeing a good
thunderstorm (not the watered down version of thunderstorms we usually get
in the Cape)

We stayed in Durbanville in Cape Town when Marco was small. We started at
the age of 3 with home programs at Chere Botha Centre, and he started full
time there at 5 years of age. He did physotherapy, occupational therapy and
all the stimulation we could give him as soon as possible. When he turned 7
he went to grade 0 at Jan Kriel school, tried grade 1 for 2 years, but he
could not cope. He went to Alta du Toit when he turned 9 and started
junior/middle phase, till we moved to Marquard. He went to boarding school
at Lettie Fouche School in Bloemfontein for 2 years, went well in middle
phase, he was happy in school, but we had problems in boarding school with
other boys with extreme behaviour problems. For his emotionel good we took
him out, and he is home-schooled in Marquard by a occupational therapist.
We have accepted that we did as much as we could do for him, and that he
will never pass a normal grade. He can only read short words, and basic
plus/minus sums. Next year we will find him a job where he can work with
his hands, when he turns sixteen. The people in town loves him, and accept
him as he is, loveable, kind, and friendly. He brings lots of joy to all. I
wish you all the strenght and love God can give, they are really a gift.
Kind regards
Lydia Naude
