Grace's feelings

I remember very well other times when we were a happy family with our children and our works. Grace and me, we are both teachers and we love our profession.

Yesterday night, my wife and I were trying to sleep, because it has been many days that neither of us can sleep, but unsuccessfully. I realised that Grace was crying again and I didn’t have any words for her. I told her that our son will appear again and she explained this to me:

“I am loosing the faith in God, dear. Our family has always been kind and warm and we have gone to all Sundays’ Mass. We have believed in God’s Word. But now, God is not helping us anymore. After three months and a half of Thobiso’s disappearance and without having any trace what could have happened. I think we should start considering about his dead.”


I couldn’t believe what Grace was telling me – “What are you saying, Grace? Do you really think that our son is dead? There is still hope! The investigation hasn’t finished, which means it is still active and we will never surrender until there is absolutely no hope left. In fact, we do not have any police news to think the opposite. God will help us very soon, because we are good Christians!”



She started to scream and shout among sobs and tears: "I need my son returns soon! I need my son with me again! Please Thobiso come home now!!" After this, my wife begged me to forgive her for being so pessimistic and she told me that she still had hope to see Thobiso alive very soon.
